No amount of good advice can put the teflon back on Obama. The Dems picked the wrong candidate. They bet on the wrong horse. They are digging in the wrong place.

Obama fatigue set in around July, I believe.
Now the Left keeps dragging their knuckles back to the well for these fine campaign winners:

1. “They’re all liars” - Like hearing them repeat this about George Bush and Dick Cheney for 8 years has any impact at all, right?
2. “It’s _____-gate”!!! See #1 above. Ginned up “scandals” that never are.
3. Catchy phrases with a “modern” twist used in any of the past five Presidential campaigns.
4. Defense. Defense. Defense. They are constantly trying to convince people to go to the polls to vote against McCain rather than trying to convince people to vote FOR Obama.
5. Backlash over Palin plain and simple.
6. Where are all the surrogates campaigning for Obama??? They are absent on the campaign trail like they were absent from the convention. Very telling.

I could go on, but it’s obvious they have no idea what they are doing.

They don’t know what they’re doing. They’re swinging wildly at a political pinata hoping their ridiculous rhetoric strikes some poor, uneducated fool.

“They're the most arrogant bunch Ive ever seen. They won't accept that they are losing and they won't listen.”

“After leading throughout the year, Mr Obama now trails Mr McCain by two to three points in national polls. “

“Racism” is such a convenient excuse and phony reason for Obambi’s trailing in the polls. It's just “racism” not his smug arrogance and elitism and total lack of qualifications and or his smarmy, oleaginous, imperious and presumptive sense of entitlement not to mention his anti American and leftist, socialist or outright commie leanings and philosophy. It couldn't possible be that could it?

I still believe the guy is a closet Muslim and black racist.

Then there's his lovely, warm, friendly witch of a black racist wife. She's my dream First Lady. /S

They won't accept that they are losing and they won't listen.

This statement reminds me Bush '41. I remember Bush kept saying he was going to win and refused to believe otherwise.

With that being siad, you must always campaign as if you are losing, never letting your guard down. I hope McCain realizes that?

“I don’t think it is racism as much as people not wanting to be perceived as being racist.”

You got it.

It is NOT racism that is sinking Obama, it is his SOCIALIST and DEFEATIST plans for the US. The Democrats just try to blame it on racism, try to bully people into voting for Obama, to prove they are not racists.

Obama wants to raise taxes, institute socialized medicine, surrender to the terrorists, and he wonders why people are leaving him in droves, once they find out his real agenda?

In word "sincere" comes from the Greek where it literally means: without wax. Sculptors would hide imperfections in their works with wax.

Barry is not sincere.

"We're approaching the moment of maximum danger when Hillary is added to the ticket."

YEP.....I actually keep having this daytime nightmare that they take Obama out (yeah, I mean the real deal-OUT) and that way they can put whomever they want in for the Presidential candidate....and VP......scary....but, I do wonder if the Dems would do it....

I know. I'm just saying that if it takes racism to beat the clown, I'm OK with racism in this application.

BO is exactly the type of person that Reagan reminded all about those so many time when he'd say (in that tone of disgust) LIBERAL.

Its been some time since we have had that distinction clarified for us by Reagan but BO makes it so much easier to see.

Liberals believe that THEY possess an elevation that simply disallows the need or use for other good ideas.

They KNOW they are smarter. Isn't that the way he even sounds with the speaking cadence he uses?

Here's a guy who sez - “I'll meet with and negotiate with Iran” and then he doesn't even have the capability to sit down and listen to the thoughts from his with his competitor in his own party on how best to select the VP?

I had a coach that told me "if you can't do something in practice why do you think you'll be able to do it in a game"? BO lacks the requisite capacity to even assimilate the good suggestions of others and IMO he's already exhibited this by his actions in this campaign. That he's discounted the sage advise of others fit exactly the type of person he is at his core.

He's so intellectually advanced and smart - he's actually become stupid.

You are right.
We have to run and run hard.
Don’t hope for the Bradley effect - it may not even exist anymore. Don’t discount all the new young idealistic heads of mush that have gotten into politics this year and have no idea what a Marxist looks like. Don’t discount the voter drive for first time black votes. We get overconfident at our own peril.

“Racism is such a handy all-purpose excuse for these people.”

It’s the last refuge of scoundrels.
