You have no idea how much it pained me to post a link from time.com. But, when even they are saying McCain is looking good, you know things must be REALLY good for McCain.
:lol: I guess you missed Obama last week saying how all three of them (Hillary, Obama, McCain) were better than Bush. Every time the dems call McCain Bush III we’ll just keep playing that sound byte.
Bush III > Bush II.
and HIV is > AIDS.
Hillary is herpes, at the worst. she looks gross on the surface, but she’s not going to cause major internal damage.
They are going to relate McCain to Bush. I agree overall with the sound bite that McCain has more integrity and more intelligence that W but he is still lacking in quite a bit of areas. There are numerous sound bite of him mis-speaking which gives me the willies.
Yeah, I know… Obama is such a horrific public speaker… :roll:
Perhaps it’s because the questions that the moderators were asking were like they were out of The National Enquirer instead of maybe, oh, I dunno, real issues.
This coming from a McCain supporter is a lollercaust!!
And yet your guy STILL has a good chance of losing. The fact that McCain isn’t up by 20 points on either of them right now shows how far out of touch the republicans are with the country’s views.
She is going to take this all the way to the convention. There’s no reason not to when neither of them can get enough votes to take the nomination. No matter what it will be up to the superdelegates, which in case you forgot she has more of right now.
That’s hilarious. This is an election that you should have a 30%+ point lead because of the momentum from the mid term elections and Bush’s dismal ratings. The fact that it’s tied when McCain is hardly even campaigning shows how much trouble your party is in. Tack on the millions Clinton and Obama will spend attack each other through the end of August and it isn’t a good picture for you.
Hell, even Time agrees, and they’re one of the most pro-dem news places out there.
Jay she has a ~30 superdelegate lead, a few months ago it was 100. This will be over if she loses IN.
I’m interested to see the polls once we have a nominee. I think settling of the race will immediately give Obama a 10pt jump on McCain. I imagine the lead to be around 15 pts in september, narrowing to 5-10 by november.
I’m interested to see where the polls are at by the time you guys pick a candidate. At the current rate of sniping (Hillaries imaginary story excluded) Obama and Hillary are doing a good job damaging each other. And as TX and PA proved the way for her to win is to go negative on Obama.
It’s amazing to think that a couple months ago you guys were celebrating how divided MY party was.
I don’t think so. I think some of that group that Clinton is really strong with will relate more to semi-moderate McCain than Obama. Read that Time article. 43% is a damn high number. 43% is not a few far right radio talking heads, it’s a large group of real voters. No way all of them really skip voting for vote McCain, but 10-15% would make a huge impact.
Just making sure everyone sees where both sides stand:
Bush: Lets drill for more oil domestically (coast of Florida for one spot, ANWAR for another), and build more refineries (we haven’t built a new one since the 70’s).
Democratic Congress: Lets give more credits to green energy (like Ethanol).
Did you see the gas tax split? Hillary and McCain in favor of suspending the federal gas tax, Obama and Bush in favor of keeping it. I’m with the second group. The last things we need to do are #1 run up further deficits and #2 encourage demand for oil.
Gotta agree with you there. Nikuk and I did the math in that one thread and it’s only going to save the average driver like $60 over the summer but cost billions.
Every time I see the democrats push more stipends for “green energy” I cringe because I know ethanol is still classified as green by the government. I’m all for green energy, but lets have the scientists not the politicians decide what is really green.
And it pisses me off that they keep blocking refinery construction. You would think after that active hurricane season we would have learned, but oh how quickly they forget. Even without the hurricanes we had gas price spikes when refineries couldn’t keep up. They’re running at 98-99% capacity just to keep up with demand so the slightest breakdown and gas skyrockets.
Don’t get me started on blocking drilling for oil off the coast of Florida either. Motherfucking green assholes.
