    Powerful ad. Don't forget to go contribute to VoteVets so they can keep this one and others on the air (they have another playing in NC that I know of).

    Is McCain Toast already?
    The art of punditry is no art at all because the pundits get it wrong most of the time. But by the way things look at this point and barring any unforeseen event, I am willing to play the pundit and say that the U.S. Presidential election in over already.

    Barack Obama is leading in the polls nationally by various margins. Rasmussen puts him 6 points ahead and Daily Kos (an influential blog) gives him a 10 point lead. The chances are, Obama will win the popular vote by about 5%, however the electoral college is a different story altogether. Under the 'winner take all' system, Obama is likely to end up with 60% of the delegates defeating McCain handily by a 20% margin.

    McCain is losing ground in state after state. Even some of the hard core Republican states like Virginia and North Carolina are likely to go to Obama. The so called battleground states of Florida and Pennsylvania are already leaning heavily towards Obama, only Ohio appears to be a toss up state at this time.

    John McCain looks like a frustrated and an angry man. His campaign has become vicious and nasty, terrorist chants for Obama are repeated in his presence and he does not discourage it. His demeanor at the debate last night was again angry and accusatory, calling Obama "that one" was not missed by commentators including the saner Republican strategists.

    So unless a great calamity strikes Obama or he makes a major blunder between now and November 4, this race is all but over.

    Congratulations President Elect

    We need 60 in the Senate.....

    The race is far from over.....
  • ahaque · 1 year ago
    Presidential race is over, 60 in the Senate will not be easy as some sitting Senators have a strong hold.

    Jason is a friend of mine. He is the President of the Orange County Young Dems. Super fantastic guy! That was really odd to be on this site and see an ad featuring him. I think it is really effective, powerful ad.

    Watching a McCain rally in Pennsylvania. I'm wondering what the big delay was all about? Did the Secret Service give them a "come to Jesus" lecture before going out there?

    That crowd looks mean. They remind me of the crazy fascists who went nuts and crazy over Adolph Hitler in the 1930's in Germany.

    Speaking of veterans, McCain tries to announce all the veterans need to raise their hands at his rallies. They then point to non-existent hands all around and hold their hands over their hearts. Veterans are supporting Obama 6 to 1 because McCain has proven over and over how HE DOES NOT "support the troops" with his votes.

    Keep us informed what "they" say or what you hear cowboyneok.

    The most disgusting thing I'm having to listen to right now is MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, and his sidekick Mika, trying to say nice things about John McCain and Sarah Palin. Joe said something like look at that huge group of supporters for McCain. Uh, it was a fraction of Obama's supporters AND they were ALL WHITE.

    Scarborough is a LIAR and needs to be kicked off the air for being such a Republican suck up. Mika needs to realize if she keeps backing him up to prop him up, it just makes her look foolish.

    cowboy, Cindy isn't with McCain on the campaign trail today. His daughter is the stand in. Interesting......
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    I think she is there.

    By the way, his daughter Meghan is gaining a lot of weight! McCain has been known to say really nasty things about overweight women. I wonder if he makes fun of her?
  • An_American_Karol · 1 year ago
    I thought she looked like she was packing it on. I haven't seen Cindy.
  • An_American_Karol · 1 year ago
    Never mind, I just saw her.
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    Now, THAT is an ad.
    Good Job !
    Excellent !
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    I'm listening to McCain speaking...
    the crowd is very mean.....very mean...
    yelling out while McCain is talking.
  • shrrrr · 1 year ago
    I'm listening also. People in the crowd yell 'liar' whenever Obama is mentioned. Very mean, indeed.

    The crowd is scary.
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    Yea, the crowd was rabid. McCain was mean and angry the whole time.
    And again he was talking about some projector that cost 3 million dollars.

    Kind of odd that him and Palin together.
    Only one event today and they are both together.
  • JohnInTexas · 1 year ago
    I listened for a bit too. He doesn't say HOW he is going to do anything, just "I'm gonna clean this town up" "I'm gonna put a stop to that" what a load of crap.
  • PatogTX · 1 year ago
    He kept saying that last night at the debate:

    "I know how to solve the financial crisis"
    "I know how to win a war"
    "I know how to this"
    "I know how to that"

    and yet...we never hear how. Why? Because he really doesn't either.
