If Hill pulls it out, Hussein's supporters will be so demoralized they will not show up. Especially the young people.
I feel the Dole-like energy already. He does not energize me and Dole did.
The important numbers here, as I have been saying all along, is the unaffiliated voters... McCain has this election won folks.... The Dems are putting up the weakest canidates I have ever seen in my life.
The unaffiliated voters decide elections, and Hillary is hated by most of the and Obama is such a stuffed shirt that his little stepping and fetching and say nothing/do nothing dog and pony show won’t sell there come election time. Only the far left are stupid enough to fall for his nonsense.
Not to mention the disinfranchisement that will happen in the D base to begin with should Obama win the elected delegate count and then lose the nomination because the party machine gives it to the Clintons. Hell even if Hillary would miraculously overtake Obama in elected delegates they’ll still have a schism that will destroy their base in the general.
Black talk radio conspiracies will be a flying a pleanty either way.
not yet
I'm with ya. But, I'll wait for his VP selection to decide whether I'll vote for him.
McCain only picks up for illegals.
His WoT stance, His overall experience, and the fact he’s the only adult in the race.
Well, just hope and pray.
The economy has been a major concern and the leftist media which wants McCain defeated now, is touting every new piece of information indicating it is dooing poorly, in hope of eclipsing McCain and the WoT in the public eye.
In fact, BOTH are intertwined and equally important.
I thought the same thing when I saw that ad.
If it was true to life Hillary commercial: the phone would be ringing and Bill Clinton would be passed out face down on a dirty carpet. Beer bottles and passed out coeds strewn around like newspapers! A mirror with coke on it next to the phone. A bag of chinese money in the corner.
The phone rings and rings and rings.
Cut to next scene. Special Forces guy in a fox hole in Pakistan on a sat. phone watches Osama Bin Laden walk out of a cave and stand there. An SF sniper asks the other soldier what to do. He says, “There is no answer at the white house. Let him go.”
independents don’t like Affirmative Action and Obama would put AF on steriods. They don’t like taxes and they are don’t vote for liberal democrates ....moderate democrates and conservative democrates but not liberal ones.
So will a great many people ... and from the 12th floor.
Just the people that went home to the Democrat Party in 2006.
“Among all voters, 25% picked Clinton and another 25% named Obama as the person they’d want in the White House when a foreign policy crisis call arrived.”
Problem that Juanito is going to have is that by the time the election rolls around, gas prices will be over 4 dollars a gallon. People will be looking for someone to blame and for someone willing to “do something” about the problem. Right or wrong, Hillary! will come up with some socialistic excuse for nationalizing the oil companies, while Juanito’s only plan seems to be to raise the prices even higher through a .50 gas tax.
“If McCain doesn’t energize Republicans, he loses.”
You mean....fear might not be enough this time?
Or gay.
Fear of a left socialist liberal is a huge motivator. So yes, fear plays a part.
Isn’t it important to anticipate the nature of the phone call?
President Obama picks up the phone to hear: “Hello, this is Amanutjob. Please let the world know that Iran had nothing to do with that nuclear detonation near Palastine. Oh, and can we do lunch?”
President Hillary picks up the phone to hear: “It’s Bill. Ted and I were just driving along in the fog, and all of a sudden, we drove off of this bridge.....)”
President McCain picks up the phone to hear: “We got him sir! UBL will not be coming out of that cave!”
Didn't work for GOP in 1992, 1996, or 2006.
Didn't work for the democRATs in 2000 or 2004.
I won't say absolutely that it wouldn't work, but the track record for fear as motivation to vote isn't good.
Not really thrilled about McCain (less about the others), but I think 42% is interesting because that’s what Billy boy won with.
