View Full Version : McCain's Presidential Chances: On A Bridge To Nowhere
According to the AP, John McCain has reached "a political dead-end" due to his eratic response to the economic crash. The intrade Electoral prediction market (http://www.intrade.com/) is also showing Obama with 338 to McCain's 207.

I can only hope Obama gets to be President quick enough to raise taxes and fix this mess.

I follow the CNN Meta-poll (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/calculator/index.html) (poll of polls) that has Obama at 240, McCain at 200, and 98 undecided (of which Obama would need 30 to win).

In 1988, Dukakis still had a double digit lead at the end of September.

Then he had to go driving around in a tank with a silly that on and letting Wilie Horton out on Parole. Ah, those were the days when a Campaign meant something.

How many times do you need to be told that Obama will cut taxes for 95% of Americans? Are you really so deep in denial that facts don't matter anymore? Oh wait, of course you are.

/QUOTE]
Well, Hoover was blamed for the Depression, though it wasn't completely his fault. He started his term just before the Depression hit, I believe. FDR's New Deal sounded like a good idea to the people, but then again, almost anything different probably would have sounded good. Is this the "change we can believe in"?
In my opinion, it sounds quite close to what we're in now. At least we're not as bad off (yet) as we were then. Hopefully we don't get to that point.

Dude, rationalizing the expectation between what Obama says and what conservatives claim he'll do can be summed up in one word..."Lies."
BTW, this is what happens when a Democrat plans to raise taxes.
