It is critical to be specific on these issues and to acknowledge their connection. Obama is giving us warmed over Jimmy Carter pablum.

“McCain lost two of his biggest doners, Mr. and Mrs. Hilton, and grampa Hilton”, for featuring their little slut in his ad.

Yeah, losing those particular donors publicly means McCain probably picked up a few thousand votes in middle America.

Can you jump a shark in a tank?

Anybody but McCain or Barry O. The choices include Barr and Baldwin.

Valiant on August 4, 2008 at 10:56 AM

Which Baldwin?

Alec’s looking a bit pasty lately, I wouldn’t go with him.

You said that 55% said Obama’s speech was excellent to good. But that is the 55% that actually listened to the man. I think more and more people are bored with his Majesty.

Just plain freaking bored.

Obama is going to win. It’s almost a sure thing. The historical and economic factors matter more than the polls.

Now please – please – somebody prove me wrong.

The sky is falling…

Obamamessiah…peaked waaaaay too soon. He is going down…course I predicted he would go down when they first began running up the idea that he was inevitable. A black liberation/marxist winning the Presidency…only if every bad thing the left has ever said about the American Public is true. Its not.

Obama is going to win. It’s almost a sure thing. The historical and economic factors matter more than the polls.

Now please – please – somebody prove me wrong.

Um… you can wait until the election and see who wins? This is a very testable question, and doesn’t require anyone to “prove” anything.

We should all be thankful that Obama ran this cycle…we could not have beaten Hillary.

Bring on the Obamamessiah….down the list of fun things is watching the right panic about losing to a Marxist.

They are that way naturally, don’t you agree?

I also think that the closer this race is, the less conservatives are going to want to hear the “Let’s vote 3rd Party!” or “let’s lose another election because we don’t have our ideal candidate”, kind of talk.

That it’s possible to deny Pelosi/Reid a rubber stamp President and that it’s possible to see Democrats wail and gnash their teeth in the street, post-election day, will be a great motivational factor for all real conservatives.

your missing the point. The reason the polls moved is TRUST. It is not the ads. over the last several weeks starting with the campign financing filp and going all the way to today’s partial flip on offshore oil drilling BHO has shown his word can not be trusted. No one believes a word politicians say anyomore. BHO supports THOUGHT that in BO they finally had someone while they might not agree with they could at least count on him following through with his statements. BHO has shown he is nothing but a politician in fact he may be more a politician than any we have every seen. His flips have made Bill Clinton look like George Washington.

Americian were and are prepared to make major changes if the leader is a person they can trust on a fundemental level. BHO has shown he can not be trusted. and those the centerists have moved towards McCain.

the ads just confirm their views that BHO is a crafty politician whoose followers are dumb mind numb cult worshipers.

Obama is going to win. It’s almost a sure thing. The historical and economic factors matter more than the polls.

Now please – please – somebody prove me wrong.

Because I really don’t know if I can handle a President Obama.

Professor Blather on August 4, 2008 at 12:19 PM

Sorry, Prof., but I can’t prove you wrong.

All I have to offer is my belief that this election will hinge on what happens between now and November with energy prices, and thus the economy, coupled with events overseas in Iraq and the Afghani/Pakistani theater.

Now that some of the “new” has worn off of Obama, some folks are coming back down to earth and realizing that Obama is just another politician, albeit one with some dangerous ideas. So far, he has been his own worst enemy.

All is not lost.

If Obama starts to look like a loser it will be good, because then the desperation will settle in.

Democrats are unhinged lunatics largely as it is, just wait until they believe that their third straight crappy candidate is going to blow the third Presidential campaign in a row.

From the crow’s nest of the HMS Obama – “Iceberg, dead ahead!”

I think Obama’s refusal to ever admit error makes him look risky. He was not wrong on the surger?! He was not wrong about six party talks on Korea versus one on one talks without preconditions that he advocates?! He was not wrong on negotiating without preconditions with Amedinajad?! He was not wrong on drilling?!

Also when he does have to walk back something because it turned out wrong, he does not concede that he had previously taken another position. When he says “As I have always said” you can be sure he is going to have a new position you never heard before.

Haven’t the liberals been screaming that Bush will never admit he was wrong and take responsibility for his mistakes. Surely people who listened to them, must see Obama with exactly that flaw — in spades. (Note Mr. Gergen, this is not a code word. It is a playing card reference in common English idiomatic usage.)

In this case, neither….but at least I can visualize McCain having a beer, whereas Obama seems more the type to sip white wine (or to do a little blow, perhaps).

I think his effete snob-ism will be his ultimate undoing, even more than his race or ideology.

and down right scarey…

jerrytbg on August 4, 2008 at 12:58 PM

Why scary? I’d far rather have a shot at Hillary being the opponent rather than Obama.

If McCain starts to look envitable, some conservatives will start listening to Barr in �protest� and could tip it back.
jp on August 4, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Choice of �turd or vomit� as the poster above asserts, is easily solved with a vote for golden nugget Bob Barr.
ericdondero on August 4, 2008 at 10:34 AM
What an awesome idea guys! Bob Barr!!! He’s a much better outlet for us all after Ron Paul’s nomination was stolen by Captain Amnesty! I’m with you!/

wise_man on August 4, 2008 at 10:43 AM

What if Mac chooses Barr as his running mate?
Tony737 on August 4, 2008 at 10:52 AM
Barr is too good an American to accept the VP slot from McTraitor! He knows what he has to do, and he’s doing it quite well. Bob Barr and Wayne Allyn Root will win this november!/

wise_man on August 4, 2008 at 10:59 AM

Now look at what you have don Allah. He is probably pissing on the carpet too.

/sarc

MadisonConservative on August 4, 2008 at 12:27 PM

and down right scarey…

The only lead I want McCain to have is in the electoral count on election night.
