You banned Crestwood?

You are so very wrong on so very many levels.

simply put....

McCain will be our next Commander-in-Chief.

It will be a close race mind you, but people will see Obama for what he is...

Empty promises and no real plan for America.

Just Rhetoric.

And what the Obama supporters here are forgetting is that it isn't just the middle class white voters that are gonna change this race, it's the conservative base. They have been silent for a while now simply because there is no reason for them to stand up and shout when Obama and Clinton are doing so well at beating the tar out of each other. This is a more conservative country than most Obama supporters will credit it for being and they will show out in DROVES to ensure that Obama doesn't win.

There is nothing more reprehensible to the conservative base than a panderer. And that is exactly what Obama is. He is all talk, all rhetoric. And they will express their displeasure at his divisive and liberal agenda come November.

You could make a case that McCain is also a panderer then since he has been trying to court the conservative vote while he had been distancing himself from it for the past few years.

I don't see the point in arguing over he will be the next president instead of who would be the better one.

I think you'll see a lot of those switching to McCain (seeing as how he's a semi Democrat anyway). Either that or they'll stay home. Either way, Obama looses.

That is why its VERY important for Obama to pick wisely when choosing a VP candidate.

Time will tell, of course.

For now, though, Obama is very much in the game, leading in fact. It was nice to see a one day reprieve from "He's done" as so many conservatives have asserted over the last few weeks.
Well said.

Put Simply: Obama is a true leader, while McCain is a dud. When McCain speaks, he does nothing for me. But Obama, he hits the heart of the most important issues.

Hitler excited many people, and represented very much change from his predecessor.
