I don't know that it needs to get any better. We need Obama.

Obama is hollow. Anyone but Obama

No, the McCain campaign is not going to get any better.

How can they, with the anchor they have wrapped around their ankle (PALIN!)???

No the campaign is not going to get any better. Unfortunately with the people we have to choose from neither is the future.

As goes David Brooks, so goes George Will. How would William F. Buckley see this disaster? Probably much the same way!

And do you really thing that icon of conservative politics, Barry Goldwater, would have favored the last eight years and McCain's representing a continuation into the next four?

McCain has a 100% change of winning in Utah and a 10% change of becoming president. See how out of touch America is with Utah?

Most Utahans see a experienced dynamic leader in McCain whose age mirrors what most Utahan see in their real leaders. You have, what it Utah, would be the sharpest tool in the shred running for VP. It don't get must better this this. Utahan are stand in fields of tall alfalfa these days.

McCain going to get any better?
With Obama being called "a terrorist" and referred to as "that one" and trailing in all polls and electoral college votes (forecast) watch for more of what put Cheney and Bush into the White House.
Watch for:
"Bad American!"
"Hates the troops!"
"Hates the flag!"
"Hates the Pledge of Allegiance!"
"Hates motherhood and apple pie!"

Like a snarling pit bull the McCain campaign is.

No doubt about it.
McCain's campaign hit it's peak when they called Senator Obama "a terrorist" and "That one."

LOL!

Is not the landed gentry in Washington politics represented by McCain and Obama. There isn't a dime's worth of difference between them. They are bought and paid for. Both trumpet the need for change and reform, but there can be little doubt that when elected neither of them will change or reform anything. Politicians talk a good line, parroting the mood of the electorate, but having witnessed many, many presidential elections what happens is always more the same status quo when the dust settles and the votes are counted. American anger has rarely been higher than it is right now. The first bailout vote, a sound rejection by the Americans who mobilized and called their Congressional representatives was a revolt with an amazingly short shelf life of one week. We're already back to the status quo. Nancy Pelosi has the audacity to state yesterday that she's going to call Congress back into a special session after the election for another "stimulus" package for the beleagured American taxpayer -- this time she wants another $150B to be doled out, "money in their pockets," she says. No one, it seems, has taken a healthy dose of the real deal -- RESTRAINT!!

It would be comforting to think that Will, Brooks, Buckley, and Goldwater represent the heart of the Pub party. The problem is that the demagogic tricks that have brought them more than a few victories also recruited those who can't spell "conservative". Now they listen to the louder drummer (radio talk shows)and are watching and wondering how they are losing. Many happy returns of the day to the party of Lincoln!

he's done. McCain can do nothing short of going to the Middle East and capturing Bin Laden himself to win the election. He's been nasty and mean. His snarky comments just make me respect him less.

McCain and Palin represent the Age of Limbaugh:
Nasty, self-righteous, sanctimonious, character assassins, do-as-we-sayers.

Everything I despise in that kind of human being.

"Nasty, self-righteous, sanctimonious, character assassins, do-as-we-sayers."

You just descibed most of the democrats on these comment boards.

Heh. Only in Utah would someone compare Obaam to McCain:

"Is not the landed gentry in Washington politics represented by McCain and Obama. There isn't a dime's worth of difference between them. They are bought and paid for." (12:49)

Obama, poor born to a single mother, worked his way through an excellent education and has spent his whole life devoted to working for public policy, and making some change along them way, but lives in a modest house and has a single car, with a stay at home wife raising the girls (well until the campaign!)

Compared to that rich brat, with familial connections, who was a hard drinking, hard driving playboy, who broke up his best friend's marriage, dumped that chick for a rich one (committing adultery both times) and then proceeded to wedge his fat arthritic ass in the Senate chair for over 20 years.

But Obama is the elite. Riiiiight.

-- "Someday, Labour will win an election. Our job is to hold on until they are sane." Republicans, winners of seven of the last 10 presidential elections, had better hope they have held on long enough.

Ah, I finally see why this is all Clinton & Gore's fault - they couldn't hold on long enough.
