FINEMAN: Will 'Country First' Boost McCain to Victory? ...(scare the bejesus out of voters)

And that slice is: white (I did not spot a single African American in the crowd), rural, “exurban,” and mostly Protestant, with local roots stretching back centuries.

No African Americans spotted simply because 150% of them are voting for Odrama. Oh, and that's not racism, right Romano?

Here's the lib mindset for all to see in its unapologetic ugliness: WHITE!! Imagine if the other side said the same except switching to BLACK or HISPANIC!! It would have been a real global warming episode due to rioting and burning cities.

They live in “The T” of Pennsylvania – which encompasses pretty much everything outside of the metropolitan areas of Philly and Pittsburgh. It’s indubitably American.

Yeah, away from voter fraud in the urban armpits controlled totally by libs. This is why it’s indubitably American.

Something else the racist writer implied: "where you find no blacks, it’s indubitably American!" Last I checked, blacks ARE American!!

the Reagan-Bush Base — the one Lee Atwater and Karl Rove built — of Southern whites, evangelical Christians and combative necons [sic].

Necons? Neocons, nearly by definition, have never been part of the conservative electoral base. Fineman must be referring to Jacksonians. If he can't figure this out there is no sense reading anything else he writes.

Re your post #2, I agree. When I hear Obama I think of Dukakis, McGovern, and Mondale. He might carry New York, California, and Illinois. Good luck with the rest.

A domestic terror attack or an international crisis close to the election would even put those states at risk for BO.

If McCain is itching to “reach across the aisles”, how about Zell Miller?

“This race is over, it’s just a matter of how big McCain’s victory will be”

McCain has never been ahead of the polls nor above 50%. It aint over. 2000 was a butterfly ballot away from Democrat victory and this could be as well.

[WOSG]

“Not to mention the effect of McCain-Feingold kicking in 60 days before the election. The NRA and other political groups will be muzzled, and have no way to respond to Big Media’s 24/7 cheerleading for Obama.”

Very good point. Obama + Obamedia + $200 million in fundraising + weak economy = very formidable campaign.

Dont underestimate the enemy ... but dont flinch either.

McCain can win with a COUNTRY FIRST! message.

“I did not spot a single African American in the crowd”

I guess they are racist.

I’m almost never right in my predictions, so look to others for answers. However, the Clinton’s are capable of anything. I keep waiting for someone in the know to come forth on all this birth certificate stuff. Maybe they’ll be the ones.

I’m obviously looking at things from a biased perspective, I can’t see a marxist actually winning the white house. Clinton wasn’t so much a marxist as a criminal mastermind bent on his own personal advancement, at any cost. And Clinton was a lot, lot smarther than Obama. Obama really is an iodiot. And I say that not to be mean, but he just strikes me as someone that needs others to remind him of what he said 5 minutes ago.
But who knows what’s going to happen. If McCain has a couple of senior moments, it all could change. I hope he doesn’t make a major mistake between now and election day. If he stays slow and steady, he beats obama.

McCain will have Gheraldo Rivera leading the illegals to the voting booth for him though, so this should offset some of the democrats tricks.
