"But there is every possibility McCain is going to win this in a landslide"

Talk about deluded!

I think these guys have really messed up by running Obama. I mean, I'm not crazy about McCain as a candidate (although, he an I are roughly in the same area politically). But there is every possibility McCain is going to win this in a landslide as the wheels continue to come off the Obama machine.

Yes, a landslide. America wants another computer illiterate guy in the White House so it will seem like old times.

McCain: ‘It’s a Google.’

Today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was fundraising in Richmond, VA, and joked about how he vets prospective VP candidates:

“We’re going through a process where you get a whole bunch of names, and ya … Well, basically, it’s a Google. You just, you know, what you can find out now on the Internet. It’s remarkable, you know.”

Watch it:

This, of course, is not to be confused with “the Google.”

Obama's campaign is doing fantastically, what are you talking about? What "wheels" have come off his campaign? It's just the opposite. McCain's #1 financial advisor this week was exposed as thinking the Bush recession and stagflation are just figments of our imagination. Talk about corrupt and out of touch.

Meanwhile the big gaffe of the week for Obama's friends really helped Obama, that is Jesse Jackson being angry with him for not being pro-black enough. That should help him plenty.

As the Republican's entire castle crumbles into the worst recession of our lifetimes and a non-sensical war that never seems to end we are on our knees as a country. But we can rise up again, ONLY if Obama becomes president and works with am honest democratic congress to start changing the policies and fixing this terrible mess.

And remember, unlike the Carter years, Bush did not inherit these problems, he CREATED them. Huge difference.

I agree. They threw away a candidate who could have won for them. McCain certainly doesn't have charisma, but I remember how unpopular Nixon was. Despite that when they ran a leftwinger against him, Nixon won big.
