This is the strategy. However, the level of media support for BHO is beyond anything even I could have imagined.

They will soon start in on bashing McCain, making him look unhinged and senile in ways that will go beyond the limits they have put on themselves thus far.

By Elections Day over 90% of Republicans will vote for McCain. Almost in every elections around 8% to 10% of Republicans vote for the democrat candidate and at least 10% of democrats vote for the Republican candidate. This year I expect 20% of democrats to vote for McCain versus 8% of Republicans to vote for Obama. Also McCain is going to win Independents by 53% to 47% margin. McCain is going to be the next President of this great USA

From your computer keyboard to God's ear, as much as I detest McCain!

Just wait a couple weeks. Osbama will be in Fairbanks campaigning for opening ANWR.

Mighty Alaska. Our 57'th state.

McCain needs to stick to his strengths

For me it comes down to McCain being the candidate who absolutely supports the troops and intends to win the war in Iraq.

The message also has to be about how we achieve energy independence by building infrastructure for renewable energy and increasing US oil production. That will be great for the economy.

I also think McCain is going to beat Obama. McCain is holding back, managing the clock.

Obama's Lead Slips

Why does Obambi wear lead slips? Is he cross-dressing in Chernobyl?

Hillary is still in the wings and the Dim' nomination is really not settled since the superdelegates can still easily change their minds.

I wouldn't mind Hillary getting the nomination. That would piss off all the Black voters and many of the far left/college kids would sit out the election.

That whole thing about “Merci beaucoup”—the elitism of that outstripped the “bitter clingers” comments!

What kind of SNOB would get up, while CAMPAIGNING FOR VOTES, and sneer at the kind of Americans who can AFFORD to travel to Europe and WANT to travel in Europe. I mean, sure, many of them aren’t multilingual, but the mere fact of their traveling in Europe means they’re something of an elite right there.

Anyone who doesn’t know that a Presidential candidate simply DOES NOT EVER sneer at the American people on the stump really IS an out-of-control SNOB. He is such a snob he has no idea what a snob he is.

Remember Kerry’s question:

“Who amongst us is not a NASCAR fan?”

Obama is just as big a snob as Kerry.

And I think “snob” is a more effective word than “elitist.”

Did they oversample democrats by as much as 10 points again? If so...If Obama is only ahead within the MoE with a distinct advantage in Dems vs GOP?

Wow.

McCain is better than Obama by a wide margin.

I think nationwide Dims lead in party ID by 10% or so; therefore the poll is not oversampling them. Not that polls mean anything in July.

Take this mess as a reminder of what you get when you push a bag of excrement like Mitt Romney and pretend he’s any kind of conservative.

AMEN!

Well, yes, most definitely, but that doesn’t get rid of the problem that I posed.

Now, to hell with the problem that I posed. Enough with that nonsense. We must move on to more important things like ‘Witless Protection’! :D

Is there any chance of us normal folks getting a copy of the move where all the Alonso Mosely stuff is left in?

I’d prefer Teddy Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan to McCain, but they ain’t running! And for some crazy reason, I think Juan McAmnesty will actually turn out to be a much better president than we think!

Due to the lawsuit by spoilsport Universal, all references to “Alonzo Moseley” have been excised from “Witless Protection.” The FBI Special Agent played by Yaphet Kotto has been magically transformed into Ricardo Bodi. Oh, the humanity!

Screw Teddy, I prefer Franklin D. to McCain. Hey, if we’re gonna bring on the socialism, let’s do it in style, eh? :)

Juan McAmnesty may just be the best thing since sliced bread. We all have no option but to find out, which so many folks just seem to be so happy about reporting on a constant basis for some reason. Can’t figure out why...

Anyways, Universal was being an ogre on that score, but then again you guys were kinda pushing the envelope. You should release an old copy to the ‘scene’ online, so we at least get to see SOME of the joke we were promised in the trailer. (Though, I’m sure that a McAmnesty presidency will give us all lots of laughs! lol :))

Seriously, I’m a huge movie geek and I’m the kind of guy who knows every line in Midnight Run, (yep, that kinda guy) so I’m interested in the topic! :)

In any case, I really did like the movie. My wife even watched it, which was a huge surprise to me and she enjoyed it. :)

Boy, I can’t wait for the debates. Obama will be skewered by McCain.
