MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET IS DANGEROUS,,SHE PREDICTS WAR W/RUSSIA & HE WILL REINSTATE THE DRAFT ....HE HAS DEMENTIA ALSO....
hillary switcharoo? not a chance.
it's looking hopeless for him already if you figure in the "bradley effect". Figure in that Hillary's support by independents pales to Palin's, the likelihood for Americans to resort to fresh faces over lukewarm establishment types ( Bush vs Gore 2000 ) and the fact that such a change from Biden to Hillary would stink to heaven almighty of deep dark despairation, it would do much much more harm than good.
besides. can you imagine Obama would be practically castrated if he had to have Hillary on the ticket to win? She's a smart cookie and would seriously demand such control over his campaign to join it that you may as well have Hillary at the top of the ticket.
Palin, nevertheless, would annihilate Hillary in the debates, as McCain will do to Obama.
This election isn't in the bag by any means. But at least the left are starting to realize this IS GODs country, and their godless arses aren't the only opinion that matters and never will be.
Presidential election 2008
To Whom It May Concern:
As an independent voter, I am certain the McCain-Palin ticket is the best choice for America. We will certtainly get the reform necessary and it will be a bi-partisian ticket that will bring the best of both parties together. In addition, We will have a fresh face in Washington who has already proven herself as a Governor who reaches across party line and has been extremely successful in Alaska.
Nobody will every agree on every single issue. I do not believe you can choose a president based on every single issue. In life, you sometimes have to compromise with people in order to receive. I do believe the McCain-Palin ticket will improve our economy and give Americans a different outlook on government. I think they will be an excellent team.
I also believe they balance each other well.
Having said all that, on a less significant point, I believe John McCain has paid his dues in many ways and proven his trust as a great American Hero and a Senator who has worked with democrats on many issues to solve diverse problems we face. He is certainly his own man and Governor Palin is her own woman.
Sincerely,
Patricia Ryan
Close?
I, too, question the notion that this election is going to be close. I suspect the candidates' internal polling is telling the tale: a big margin for McCain/Palin.
When you have white males (always pro-GOP) joined by white females (not as reliable for the GOP) overwhelmingly favoring McCain/Palin, it's all over. The Democratic interest groups of college professors, media, NGOs, labor, trial lawyers, gays, blacks and Hispanics are not numerous enough. With Florida set to card prospective voters before they can vote, the chances for fraud—a Democratic Party staple—are greatly diminished in that key state. I look for a landslide, both in the popular and electoral votes.
* Obama projected winner *
Stop hyperventilating. GOP bounce is not a trend line. Media mavins simply do not understand statistics. Ignorance is no excuse.
Polls are snapshots. Electoral College vote projections based on multiple polls, polling history, and assumptions (like decay of post-convention bounce) still lead to at least a +23 EC vote for Obama if election were held today (9/9/2008):

9/9/2008 10am: 293 electoral votes for Obama
And, go to
election.princeton.edu/history-of-electoral-votes-for-obama/
9/9/2008 12pm : 300 electoral votes for Obama.
Post-convention bounce will die away. Palin has yet to face any press questioning -- GOP is trying to fill her brain with points to parrot before then.
McCain is ahead. Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord. I hope and pray and am holding on to my faith in the Lord that McCain and Sarah keep on gaining in voter support and Obama sinks lower and lower. Incidently Obama is not the Lord or Messiah or Caeser. God is with us pro-lifers because we are fighting for what is right. The democrats are trying to get rid of God because God said Thou shall not kill. Abortion kills babies. Deomcrats do not want to give up the killing of babies. They cfall it Women's rights. Well women's rights that include the killing of babies in the womb and embryos in the lab is evil and against God and that means against Christ. Shall I say anti-Christ or the coming of 666. Careful democrats you are treading on dangerous ground that leads to the hot place.
Hillary??
he had his chance with Hillary
Enough with the Surges already!
Hurricans bring real surges to the surf.
GOP surges are more like trickles by comparison.

If you hope a strong United States
vote for McCain, he may not satisfy you, but he will make USA stronger and tougher in the world.
For the long ran, Obama's policy is same as Chinese Communist.
