Both of our candidates are handing it to McCain on a silver platter.
Both Hillary and Obama need to stop the fighting and join each other on the same ticket. I feel if the infighting continues, they'll just be handing the White House to McCain on a silver platter.

If you don't feel the same way then you must be a McCain supporter in disguise.:popcorn:

3. What's the latest?
I know on my end I see Obama going after McCain, as well as Hillary the last few days.

Granted I pay more attention to Obama, but what has Hillary done?

4. No they aren't. McCain is having it easy at the moment, that's all.
He's still raising little money and he isn't bringing the conservative base together. Assuming Obama is the nominee, I'd rather see someone with military experience on the ticket to offset McCain's service. (Avoiding sniper fire doesn't count.)

5. yes that's me. I am in disguise. Shhhhhh. Don't tell anyone.
Anyone that thinks mcstain has a snowballs chance in hell to win more than 3 states needs to put the pipe down. mcstain will Bob Dole himself sooner or later. Why just yesterday he admitted he is too old and could croak in office. trust me mcstain will be relegated the the has been pile soon enough.

6. Uhh he has a VERY high approval rate.
McCain is probably more popular that Reagan was in '84.

9. I'm not spewing shit.
McCain is not going to go down easy.

I've seen many people underestimate the R candidate in years past. People have told me "There's no way this old B-movie actor will beat Carter!" "This Bush guy can't beat Dukakis." I won't mention any comments made about W. not being able to win b/c 2000 was handed to him by the SC, and 2004 was stolen (Ohio).

11. What are you talking about?
Carter even knew he was toast. shrub did not win. And mcstain proved he was a punk by letting shrub swiftboat him. And Dukakis? Wow a good guy but dumb as a fence post about politics.

12. Do you already see the psychological game McCain is playing with the R base?
If you haven't caught his latest ads, take a look at them if you can do so without vomiting. He's already playing on his base's primal emotions of war mongering/fear ("I'll keep you safe from those Arabs/Iranians by bombing them into the stone age"), and on their sympathy for war vets ("I was abducted by evil communists who did bad things to me, this qualifies me to be President").

13. So you're saying that the
rw base is fawning over mcstain. WHOA. I can't even respond to that as it is so outlandish.

8. Last I checked on approval rating
Obama was only running 2 or 3 points behind. One was 69 and the other 67. That was just yesterday I believe, or day before.
