The question is if McCain can lay low all the way through the election. I don’t think I’m the only who likes McCain more the less I see of him and the more I see of Obama.

This fall, the GOP should run one-minute clips of Obama talking about himself. At the end, McCain can come on and say, “Hi, I’m John McCain, and if you’ll vote for me for President, I’ll never tell you how I’ve evolved as a person.” He’d win in a landslide.

Obama’s got two big problems: too much charisma and too little substance. Fortunately, the MSM’s frenetic desire to put him front and center day after day is showing voters just how trite and sick-making a daily dose of charisma, nuance, stunning ignorance of political and economic realities can be. Makes sense to me that McCain should stand out of the way while the dragon slays himself.

Only if he’s careful around Jesse Jackson.

When JorgXMcKie responded to someone who confidently opined, “All the Dems had to do was run a safe, experienced, centrist to have a guaranteed win,” with “And that candidate was . . .? Seriously,” JorgXMcKie won the thread.

“All the Dems had to do was run a safe, experienced, centrist to have a guaranteed win.” And that candidate was . . .? Seriously.

Mad Dog McCain in a landslide. The far left will stay home, Hillary supporters will vote for McCain [not much difference], Republicans will turn out and every Bubba in America will vote McCain out of disgust and fear.

This year might be bad for both parties in a way. The Democrats are running Congress into the ground and they are on the wrong side of energy policy. It might come down to the price of gas.

I don’t like making predictions, I feel like I am tempting fate, but I don’t think Obama is going to run away with anything. I am not saying he won’t win..but I don’t think it will be a blow out. Too many people don’t trust that guy.

As for McCain’s campaign, let’s remember this is just July. People are already sick of this never ending campaign and election. McCain has time to get aggressive before the election. Right now I think most people are doing their best to ignore the whole thing.

McCain does not hate conservatives and that kind of attitude is a gift to Democrats. I am so tired of hearing conservatives complain about McCain. They had every chance to get behind a candidate early on and pull for him. They did not and McCain won because he got more votes. Thus far the only hate I am seeing there is coming from the right who are pissed off that they did not get what they wanted…even though they themselves could not seem to decide what and who that was.

As a Democrat, I’m not surprised by these poll results in the least.

This was supposed to be the year when victory was inevitable. We had a solid candidate (Hillary) who could easily have won in November. Instead, for reasons that still defy my comprehension, the party nominated Gilderoy Lockhart.

Meanwhile, the Republicans nominated the one guy on their team who has a real chance to win in what’s shaping up to be their worst election year in decades.

When this donkey dies in November, the coroner’s report is going to say “suicide”.
