Landslide?
Landslides come from people who have bold ideas that inspire people to action.
Landslides don’t come from people who garner support from being “less bad than the other guy”.
AGreed. In spite of the fact that on some things I agree with Obama, his lecturing and his sanctimony irritate me no end. He is acting like “father in chief” not commander in Chief.
He could lose big.
At any rate, if we get McCain, it's not much of a win. Either way we fill up with illegals and we get a liberal for a president.
“I am hopeful that when McCain designates his younger and (maybe) more conservative running mate, the age issue will fade.”
The issue won’t fade if the media takes it up as they did against Fred Thompson: no fire in the belly, too tired, etc. And some in the media will by just constantly posing the question about age and energy level. The veep might help, but most will still vote based on the presidential nominee.
But Obama does run a risk of beginning to look like a lightweight and an elitist to more and more voters. Some combination there.
IMO McCain is likely to win in spite of himself.
My concern is Obama is still polling pretty well for a socialist. Yeah, I know, so was Dukakis at this time.
A combined list from another thread:
1. The District of Columbia gets 2 Senators...these will ALWAYS be Democratic seats...no filibustering Obama’s change..
2. Terminate the Electoral College..no Redstate Rednecks gonna tell Blue State socialists how its gonna be...
3. Pack the Supreme Court. Thats how FDR got his change...3 more justices ought to do it....BTW..they’ll make Maxine Waters look like John Birch.
4. Fairness Doctrine.Outlaw Dissent. The only point of view you need is the ‘Bamaview....
5. Tax increases tanks the economy.
6. Energy policy cripples the economy.
7. Defense policy threatens national security.
8. Space policy ensures we won’t see the threats coming.
9. Foreign policy transfers U.S. sovereignty to the U.N.
10. Foreign policy transfers U.S. wealth to the U.N.
11. The best healthcare system in the world will be destroyed.
Man, I love the view from in here!
12. Civil War 2
13. WW4
Given that:
Obama is the media darling.
Obama has spent and raised more money.
Obama is young and McCain is old.
McCain has run a lack luster campaign.
McCain does not call Obama on Obama misstatements.
McCain is pissing off his base.
The tracking polls on 7/13/08 are a virtual tie (Rasmussen)which tells me that Obama is in some trouble. McCain may win 40 states.
I think this is more likely:
"Some people are saying that this election will prove that a Black man can be elected president. I say it will prove that a Black man can beat a corpse......"
from your lips......
I agree, McCain will win in a landslide. In the end it will be trust and drilling which he wins hands down.
For him to be w/in 5 pts has got to have Black Oblack nervous when he should be up 15.
Pray for W and Our Troops
while I hope you’re right, you did get the basic issue correct....W won both races....and one against a cheater...
Is the author onto something or is she on something?
Strictly speaking, this jasper is a lawn ornament.
Disagree...he’s going to win..and unless he does something completely freaky, he’s going to win in a landslide..I’ve said this from day one.
McCain is in if the Dhims aren’t able to cheat with their vote frauds like last time.
Who Mac picks for VP is important. I just don’t know who would be the ‘ticket’.
Me too.
Obambi should have a big lead in the polls now and he doesn’t.
When Obambi said, we can’t drive our SUVs as much or eat as much or cool our homes as much as we like because the world don’t like it, voters went huh?
I say McCain has a Bush 41 size victory: 40 states, 320 electoral votes.
Other events
I think W will declare victory in Iraq in September and announce a large troop withdrawal.
Israel will attack Iran and start a Iran/USA shooting war in the gulf. USA will have to finish off the bombing of Iran’s nuke facilities and reopen the straight of Hormuz.
No way voters will elect Obambi under those conditions.
