Re: US Presidential Election

I learned my lesson with Hill "I'm entitled" Clinton. Wait until the cut-off date to place your bet. You never know what will happen in elections until the final pre-election polls are taken. Right now, I'd bet on McBush, even though Obama would win today in the popular vote. Things will firm up in September after the euphoria following the Democratic convention fades.

Euphoria? Does that mean Barry Hussein will be snorting coke at the convention?

After the 2004 debacle, are you getting the UN in to ensure that there will be a free & fair election?

Re: US Presidential Election

With an extremely unpopular president and war and the economy in the doldrums or worse, why is this election so close. At least one recent poll has McCain ahead of Obama and most have seen a significant narrowing of Obama's lead. I know that a lot of people like McCain, and he is certainly the only Republican with any chance of winning, but why isn't Obama a lot further ahead at this time.

The Democratic convention starts next week, so with the naming of a VP running mate (Biden) and the nominating convention Obama should get a pretty good bump. However, after that comes the Republican concention which should also give McCain a boost.

The Democrats have taken a very big gamble this year with Obama and the message of change. If they win, the Democrats will probably control the government for a generation, but that is if they win. It should be looking a lot better for them at this time than it is.

Re: US Presidential Election

To be honest, after the past week's revelations about the 'wrinkly old white guy' pick for vice-president I reckon McCain ought to go at longer odds.

Re: US Presidential Election

McCain calls timeout on the debates. The old man can't keep up the pace and he is headed for the changing sheds. 5,000 more vCash down for Obama.

Re: US Presidential Election

will McCain's announcement tonight be seen as a selfless piece of of bipartisanship or a cynical stunt to outmanouvre Obama when he's having a tough time of it?

i know what i think! politicians cannot be non political unless they don't speak. it's a throw of the dice by McCain, but how will it play out with voters?

I knew McCain would chicken out. The rehearsals are not going well. Old man cant remember his lines.

Re: US Presidential Election

McCain is scared shitless. He knows he doesnt have a chance to match Obama in a debate, not even close.

Besides, to fix the fucking financial mess properly, keep him out of Washington.
