Obama has peaked. He's old news now and his act is well understood and
boring.
He could always get a job selling tire inflation meters.

I think the most interesting thing of note recently in the news was
Hillary's request, it could have been a plea, to not be nominated at the
convention in Denver. Do you thing she sees the writing on the wall?
Better to let Obama go down in flames all by himself rather than be a
party to the whole mess?

Oh no - she's got something up her sleeve.

I'm convinced of it.

You could be right though - she sees how empty Obama is and knows
she's back in play for 2012 - sets her up as the leader of the party
if Obama falls flat on his face - which is looking more and more
likely.

I remember when you thought McCain was a class act, a very smart public
servant and a true statesman, but you predicted that McCain would never
get the nomination because he was too moderate.

I really thought Obama would win in Oct, but since you feel so strongly
that he will walk away with this election, i am having doubts. I don't
believe you have EVER made a correct political prediction. The most
recent one was the Billary would walk away with the Dem's nomination.

Perhaps, but I suspect it's more to do with saving face in her head, knowing
full well that Obama would never pick her anyway.

In hindsight, the Dems probably made a big mistake. They *should* have
selected Hillary in the primary process.
She probably would beat McCain, hands down in the general election. Obama
is losing ground fast.

I was initially intrigued by him and tried to listen carefully to what he
had to offer. My primary interest was that I felt we needed to elect a
POTUS who had the best chance of being respected throughout the rest of the
world and could repair our tarnished image. I would be willing to
compromise on some issues that I would disagree with in order to accomplish
this.

But, now as the campaigns continue to the wire, he has lost support rapidly
among many of us Independents.

Also Democrats if Rasmussen and Gallup are to be believed. Even in
Massachuetts.

Kind of reminds me of what happened to Ned Lamont in CT.

Obama is going to be the next POTUS, and poor old McCain can go back to

A month ago, I was pretty confident Obama was heading for the White House.

Now, not so sure.

His rock star appeal has peaked and people are being to notice the lack of
substance.
He's making a lot of mistakes and mis-statements lately.

Getting prematurely gray too.

Soon, you won't see much difference between him and McCain.

There is one huge difference - 23 years as a Senator for McCain - 143
days as a participating Senator for Obama.

Senator is a genuine War Hero.

Wow. A genuine War Hero. Which, in terms of being POTUS, means...nothing.

Anybody remember who told Harry Hillary wouldn't get the nomination?

Or that Ned Lamont would never beat Joe Lieberman in CT?

Ahem...

Obama will not be elected President of The United States.

Seemed to matter to you when John Kerry was running for President.

As I remember.

As someeone who really thought Obama had the general election in the
bag, and McCain was going down in flames, I have noticed the same thing.
To me the "Big Mo" is in the favor of McCain.

Senator is a genuine War Hero. *Obama is a genuine...um...er...
community organizer.

Look, it's this simple - McCain has at least done something as a
Senator including challenging his own party and is genuine in his
belief that we can solve problems in a bi-partisian manner - I respect
that. *And frankly, I have a personal reason for supporting McCain
which I will not go into here now, but it was intense, scary and
incredible at the same time (think MIA). *I saw him in action as a
representative of our government and it was impressive.

I cannot fit Obama into that same space and accomplishing the same -
completing the mission so to speak - *sorry.

It's as simple as that.- Hide quoted text -

And he voted against several energy policies, too.
