It just goes to show that only complete idiots are voting for Obama. And there are a lot of them.

I'd want to see just who said that first before assuming its true.

But it's certainly possible that there are such people.

Face it, we've had the "October Surprise" -- the financial mess -- and it's ticked a lot of people off.

Bush is unpopular, McCain is floundering, and there's a backlash to the attacks on Obama.

So there are people out there who aren't crazy about Obama but who are willing to roll the dice and see what happens.

Negative campaigning doesn't work so well with such people. Their trust in all politicians is at a low point, and nothing they hear about Obama convinces them that a "clean sweep" wouldn't be the best thing.

Of course, with the Democrats still in control of Congress, electing Obama wouldn't be a clean sweep.

Yeahh ... and Michelle Obama admitted to African Press International (located in Norway) that Barack was adopted by his step-dad.

An Obama presidency coupled with large majorities in the congress will be the effective end of the American experiment.

Sad but true. Obama is the incarnate death of the American dream. Right before our eyes the politics and economy of the USA will become the same as socialist Europe.

The worst thing is that the Republicans are letting this happen without a fight. Obama/Biden blame the free market and "deregulation" for the financial crisis, and McCain and Palin don't refute the charge and just blame "Wall Street greed" for it.
