1. McCain is going to lose to our nominee
So there is no one to blame.

8. Hippies!
They are who many Americans would blame should mCcain get into the White House. They get blamed for pretty much everything these days now that the communists are no longer so worrisome. Bunch a latte sipping Volvo drivers out to separate Arnold from his Hummers and Eric Cartman from his Cheesy-Poofs! Hippys are bad for capitalism, they want to raise YOUR taxes, take away your guns and shut down NASCAR!

Whatever you do, don't blame the fictitious Neo-fascist Corporatists because they most certainly would have no possible interest in a mCcain win come November...not that they even exist but if they did they would never be partisan like that.



:sarcasm: from a hippie

9. I am an Obama supporter, if he loses it will be his fault
I dont believe on any level that he will.

But the man is of integrity and responsibility, the buck stops with him and he will be the first one to tell you that.

There is only one proviso and that is as long as he gets a clean Nomination with enough time to fight the fight.

If we as dems throw him into round 7 and he loses on the technical count in round 10 its our fault for letting him down by not getting him into the fight right from the get go.

I think hes got enough oomph in his punch to start 3 rounds behind and get the knockout, but not 7.

10. It would be a combination of things - the candidate, the voting machines,
Hillary, the stupid people. Why are we speculating on failure anyway?

12. I say voting machines AND Republican-orchestrated election fraud a la FL in 2000...
Edited on Mon May-12-08 07:40 AM by Triana
...Ohio in 2004. Voter 'cleansing lists' (erroneous as hell lists), voter disenfranchisement, idiotic Jim Crowe voter ID requirements like in Indiana, and the damned machines - and whatever else the Repigs can come up with.

They'll try every damn bit of that stuff and THEN some in 2008. They have their methods perfected by now and NO ONE has stopped them.

13. Why even ask this question six months before the election?
Edited on Mon May-12-08 07:40 AM by book_worm
first of all we have to see how it plays out and if he loses how he loses. For instance, Gore "lost" the '00 election according to the pundits and the majority of the US Supreme Court but most people understand he really won the election.

16. anyone but the man himself
If he loses obviously he is to blame, but with a possible exception, that being how the media treats him vs McCain
