Does anyone else get the feeling that the Republicans are beginning quake?
McCain has been desparately changing his message, sometimes hourly.

He's discarding all his long held positions in favor of extreme right positions that he has always opposed in the past.

McCain has been picking up Obama messages and using them as his own.

Fox news is beginning to DEFEND Obama. (They know what's coming next year and want to curry favor.)

Obama campaign is taking vote caging attempts to court.

McCain is making totally unwise idiotic claims. (He said he worked with scientists in the 60's and 70's so this makes him uniquely qualified to oversee America's future technological development.)


Methinks the turn is tiding and we may be backing a winning horse this time.

And my god, WHAT a horse! We haven't seen one like him for decades.

1. A Democratic Landslide would be such a nice way to end this campaign..
We just have to make very sure that Rove and the BushCo cronies do not steal it again...

3. Well, regarding changing his message..
they got away with doing that repeatedly in 2004. Remember "We've turned a corner, and we're not turning back"?

I just hope they aren't quaking too much, 'cause if they are then Obama will undoubtedly be assassinated.

:scared:

4. I have been getting the feeling that they are pulling back from McSame
I think they don't want this next presidency. And frankly its going to suck for whoever gets it. Its a poison pill. Everything is going to suck. We are at war. The economy is a wreck. Global warming is going to continue to pound our shores. I mean who the heck wants to be in the hot seat through that.

I think they are going to tank McSame and let Obama in and hope he chokes leaving them an in during the next election.

9. I actually thought this as soon as McCain became the apparent nominee.
He is obviously a throwaway candidate like Dole. The disciplined machine that got Bush into office and kept him there is nowhere to be seen.

11. has he done anything since the 70s?
He said he worked with scientists in the 60's and 70's so this makes him uniquely qualified to oversee America's future technological development


It just seems to me that most of his claims to fame occured in the 60s and 70s! He was a POW back then and now a scientific link?

And don't tell McCain, but technology has change quite a bit since the 70s......

on alert until the end of this election and keep hitting them hard. I do not trust Rove and his cronies a bit.

15. The McCain campaign does seem a bit discombobulated lately.
In fact they didn't look all that good in the primaries either.

The Palin pick is boomeranging on them now and they are at a loss about what to do next. The bounce was a mirage and Obama and Biden have mounted a major league offense.

And not only that, but THE LIBERAL MEDIA hate McCain!!!
