Another reason why Obama is going to beat McCain like a cheap pinata.

[TheWraith]

If you examine Barack Obama's electoral history, you'll find that campaigns which run against him have a much higher than normal chance of spontaneously self-destructing in a highly spectacular way. This happened twice just in his 2004 Senate campaign alone, taking out one of the other candidates in the primary, and the first of two Republican candidates in the general.

We already know McCain is a borderline personality with all the stability of a belly dancer in an earthquake. Put him up against the unflappable, almost inhuman cool of Obama, and McCain will be lucky to make it through the first debate without having a massive cerebral hemhorrage.

1. It will be a sight to behold!

2. To be fair, Alan Keyes kind of came pre-self-destructed.

3. Yeah, but I was referring to the other Republican.

The one who, despite being wealthy and popular, was losing to Obama by 23 points BEFORE it became known that the Repub had tried to force his wife to participate at public sex clubs.

I'm still not sure that that guy didn't leak his own divorce records for an excuse to get out of the race.

4. Yeah....

It's real common for people to enjoy being called a pervert for the rest of their lives.

"hmm....Sex-club pervert or lose to Obama.....hmm....what a tough decision!"

"Pervert it is!!!"

6. Knowing the Republicans it might raise his standing with the party. nt

9. Ryan. he was married to Jeri Ryan, 7/9.

10. lol!

That's Alan, to a T.

5. Now I have this horrible image of McCain as a pinata

...and am left wondering just what kind of stuff would fall out of him when he bursts. Cluster bombs? Defunct S&Ls? Karl Rove? Would everything be covered in green alien goo?

7. You forgot PILLS, beautiful PILLS.

He was drug-muleing for Cindy...

8. 2 words - Youth Vote

And if you pick HRC, you will lose that.

11. Still don't know what Jack Ryan was thinking...

I mean Seven of Nine...who would risk giving up that....but to bring this back to politics, he has the political judo, just redirect your opponents own momentum, and use it against them (or they use it against themselves....)

[TheWraith]

13. If he were capable of thinking, he wouldn't have been a Republican. nt

16. they would have had a better chance with JACK ryan

than keyes...it was grand watching the republican melt down...they have never recovered from the obama beating and fitzgerald`s jailing of governor jim ryan

[depakid]

12. A McCain implosion may be the best chance the Dems have this year

and I think it's a distinct possibility, due to what I suspect are the early stages of pre-senile dementia.

15. out of 102 counties in illinois obama lost 9

obama is going to smack john upside the head and we just might see john melt down on the tv screen....

17. He was far from melting down on The View; early reaction is that he did well on the couch today.

Obama was fidgeting last week, and he looked anxious and insecure for some reason. "McCain looked rested and comfortable", according to blogger noise today.
