I too was expecting better numbers overall ...saying that, I'm beginning to think that my gut feeling on the McCain acceptance speech on Thursday was a total disaster...I could not bring myself to type that but truth be told it really was a disaster....bummer. I wish he would have given his speech the way he is giving them on the road. I pray I am wrong though. I guess it's a spiritual battle after all. Good vs the EVIL rats!

Good vs the EVIL rats!I thought the speech was effective. But for some reason 2008 is the year in which entirely new ground is being plowed. It's a paradigm shift election. The old rules don't apply.
By any reasonable standard, BO should be down 30% in the polls. He just finished potty training, learned his political licks under unrepentant terrorists and despicable machine politicians, hangs out with black nationalists who like Farrakhan, and mentored under an unrepentant communist as a child.
The electorate has decided (correctly in my opinion) that they want something different. But they haven't really figured out what that means. BO may turn out to be what they want. And if we elect him, what they deserve. It would be a pity if the rest of us have to survive their poor judgment.
