The New Republic: But Obama's Support Has Narrowed Dangerously--And He'll Need To Make Changes To Beat McCain

[tawpdawg11]

*** "Is Clinton Done?"

I don''''t know if Clinton is done but McBush and the GOP sure are. So many new voters have registered and participated on the democrats side that I think McBush will be SWEPT in November.

Oh, and I''''d like to personally thank that great American, Rush Limbaugh, for his contribution in this growing tsunami via OPERATION BACKFIRE.

Perhaps a new moniker is in order, El Rushbo. How about LANDSLIDE LIMBAUGH! Its PERFECT! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Single-handedly turns the general election into a LANDSLIDE! Good ol LANDSLIDE LIMBAUGH.

Thank you sir......with all that talent lent to you by GAWD-D it is now clear EXACTLY where God stands.

Hey, now that the "witch" may be on her way out, BOTH BO and McCain may actually face some scrutiny. I think both have had a "pass" on several issues, while Hillary has conveniently been the fall "guy." No comment was too insulting, no agenda too low and no activity too sorry to blame or ascribe to HRC.

I predict both men will "deplore" the "sudden" nasty tone this campaign may acquire come fall. . .

Now please make a nice long list of the reasons that John McCain can''t beat O''Bama, I''ll get you started:
Keeting 5 connection, possibly close to getting alzheimers, Pastor Hagee ( McCains Rev. Wright ), his temper, his marrying for money ( if it''s good for Kerry it''s good for McCain ), his voting record, his embrace of Bush who tried to destroy him. His advanced age. His misstatements. His comments about Vietnamese. That''s just a start.

In all probability Obama will fall victim to what I call the "John Wayne Syndrome". For years the republicans have been very effective at presenting their candidates as tough, strong, macho cowboy types much like John Wayne was in all his films. American white men, for the most part, admire that image and Obama does and cannot re-invent himself to conform to that. Here we have McCain who is perceived to be an "American Hero" kick arse and take names kind of guy against a man who believes in the power of negoation first. If you look at the last election, the republicans took a man who clearly did not fulfil his military duty and turned him into a war hero. They took a man who not only volunteered to serve but actually put boots on the ground and turned him into an anti-war wimp and a total looser. How? Because he thought he could use intelligence to explain his positions. Unless Obama can find a way to show that he has a huge pair on him, he cannot beat Macho McCain. In politics image is everything and reality is usually ignored.

Yea, Obama is terrible. Why dont we just elect a consortium of all these know-it-all pundits who profess to consantly have alllllll the answers.

Ridiculous

As soon as the media runs out of Hillary vs Obama stories, they''ll move on to Obama vs McCain. Then the tough questions that McCain has been avoiding will surface and we''ll see how HE fairs under more media focus. So far, he''s gotten a bit of a free ride, having won his nomination so easily. Most Americans have resigned themselves to the war running as usual until we have a new administration. Everyone''s resigned to Bush''s veto power until then. McCain''s pro war position will fall flat with voters.
