I still have hope that people will get to the ballot box and realize that we are dealing with serious reality and not some mere coffee shop image game.
Anyway, I think the chances of a McCain win against Obama is near zero. This is proberly the worst week of McCain's life, however last week was proberly the second worst week of McCain's life with his advisor saying the US is a nation of whiners.
The problem is that now Obama is having a very successful week, espically since the Iraqi prime minister agree with Obama about a time tabled withdrawal. Which, kind of puts McCain in a bad spot.
However, I really don't see how McCain can win. Firstly, he is having alot of bad weeks and lots of gaffes. Now he doing a Hillary and trying to whine that Obama is getting all the media attention.
If the economy was doing good then McCain might have a chance, however it going badly and McCain can't say the obvious i.e. that Bush economics is a failure. Which, is McCain greatest weakness. He has to seem conservative to get rid off the idear he is a maverick, however if he does that then he loses the independent vote and looks like Bush 2.
I feel sorry for McCain because the media will run lots of Obama stories and then their would be a old man in the background sounding just like Hillary Clinton saying, Obama is getting all the attention.![]()

McCain credibility on Iraq went out the window when the Iraqi Prime minister agreed with Obama. McCain or Bush 2 is not going to win, espically since most people would see reality and see what voting in the worst President did to America, and then they would vote for Obama.I still have hope that people will get to the ballot box and realize that we are dealing with serious reality and not some mere coffee shop image game.
Economy is in trouble and making comments like nation of whiners and agreeing with Bush is not making McCain look any better.
Have you seen Bushes approval ratings lately?

A vote for McCain is a vote of "no confidence" for the American Revolution.
If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
Bushes economic policy would have worked if he understood simple economy. Tax cutting the rich does stimulate the economy, everyone knows that, Bush just doesn't realize where money comes from.
He's trying to stimulate an economy by pumping money into it. Money that the government doesn't have. An economy is directly based on the spending of it's government, Bush doesn't seem to understand that. A country 4 trillion in the red can not have a healthy economy.
Did anyone think McCain had a chance anyway? Bush endorsed him.

Wendy is right, Mccain has had a terrible week, and Obama has had a wonderful week....Now I personally don't support either candidate and I would rather see Bush again as president then these 2 dimwits, atleast he's funny.
I made a bet, about 6 months ago that Obama will be president...I think I might win that bet.

Yeah, I'd like to see Obamam win.
I've never been through a presidential assasination before.

lol seismo, you really think he will be?
Unfortunately, I think that is a very real possibility. Some backwoods redneck will probably try it. I'll bet some KKK rednecks will start plotting as soon as he wins in November. Doubtful that they'll actually take a shot at him, but they'll think about it.

Yeah right.
I live in Redneck, USA. I know what they think.
They don't think highly of Obama bin Laden, that's for sure.

Neither candidate should win, we need a presidency with no president, its better than any other human being lined up. A nothing president would be better then a living one.

I vote FSM '08!

Oh, I absolutely agree. We have plenty of backwards people in this country. I don't doubt at all that something will happen - I'll be expecting it, really.
I want Obama to win, but in truth I think it's like choosing the lesser of two evils. There are definitely better qualified people out there that could be president if our system weren't so corrupt.

Jolly good! *sips tea*

The fact is, we need a leader who doesn't think it's funny, good, or cool to be an idiot. McCain, like Bush, loves to brag about his awful grades in school, shows off his stunning and frightening lack of global and geographical knowledge, and is generally slumping towards dementia. If nothing else, Obama is an intellectual and he is a visionary. I know I'm probably one of those stereotypical young voters, but I really feel hopeful about him. I always used to say that poets and artists should be running the world, not lawyers. And actually, he is a published poet! We need someone who will regain the respect this country once commanded.
Damn you and your stalking tools! I have to be more careful now.
