Newsweek: Obama's Lead Slips

I was painfully stuck in a jury lounge and saw CNN talk about these defectors. They called them "Obamacons".

More like "Obamorons". I'd bet the number is grossly innaccurate, or is comprised of a big group who think that it is better to elect Obama because the results will be so disastrous that people will run to the conservatives in four years. That is a very foolish gamble in my opinion. Don't give theives the keys to your house, you might never get it back or it will be destroyed by the time you do. I'm no fan of McCain and he is just plain wrong on a number of issues, but if McCain can route Obama, their might be coat tails. Could you imagine how pissed the left & lefty media will be if the democrats actually lost the house and senate somehow? If that dream could come true, McCain won't be able to do much damage with his misguided ideas on global warming, economics, and immigration, should he retain them.

I am assuming you are being sarcastic, but I don’t think that is outside the realm of probability. He is starting to realize that all those religion and gun-clinging middle Americans make up a huge part of the electorate and that he needs them to win.

Alas, me too. He would be POUNCING back at every opportunity, being the outsider and railing against Washington insiders... spending his money, and crafting articulate ideas on the economy, immigration, and conservative values

“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.”

How about the comment he made about how embarrassing it is that in Europe they speak many languages and here we won’t even learn Spanish? I liked the response from one of the conservative talk radio shows that said something to the effect that talking about how great Europe is in reference to how embarrassed you are of your own country, isn’t a good position to be in when running for the President of your country........LOL.

Besides, tell it to the new immigrant from a country like Japan who has to learn both English and Spanish to get by in America when the guy next to him from Mexico doesn’t have to learn one new language. What about the basic concept of fairness? I worked with a nurse from Japan in Texas and one day he said to me “do you know what it’s like to come here and have to learn two languages to get by, when spanish speakers I work next too don’t have to learn even one? We cater to one group at the expense of all the others.
