McCain camp: "Why isn't Obama beating us by MORE?"
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/05/us/politics/05map.html?_r=2&hp=&pagewanted=all&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

Mr. McCain’s advisers said their hope was that the issue of the economy would recede somewhat from the public consciousness, now that Congress has passed a bailout plan, and open the way to try to turn the contest back into a referendum on Mr. Obama’s credentials. They argued that given everything that had happened, Mr. McCain remained in easy distance of Mr. Obama, evidence of what they said were underlying problems with his appeal.

“Senator Obama has more money than God, the most favorable political climate imaginable — a three-week Wall Street meltdown and financial crisis — and with all that, the most margin he can get is four points?” said Bill McInturff, one of Mr. McCain’s pollsters. “That does speak to the questions there are about lack of experience, his candidacy, and other things that make people say, ‘Gosh, is he really ready?’ ”


Yeah, our guy sucks dog balls! Why aren't you kicking his lame ass, Barack? :eyes:

1. “Senator Obama has more money than God.."
:rofl: Oh my... where to begin?

Republicans are always the ones with the money, whether by thieving, stealing, lying, cheating...

Maybe this time God decided to even the score.

4. Simple answer: If he was 100% white, he would be.
Its not about his readiness. Its about the readiness of a certain TYPE of voter to go for him.

20. If Obama were 100% white, he'd win at least 40 states.
Sad but true.

7. So they want to know why they are not losing by a larger margin?
Ok? Pathetic. Truly Pathetic. A win is a win. Even in the unlikely chance that Obama wins 270-268, he still wins. Oh my God! One more month. One more month.

16. But that was the beauty of the primary campaign
Absolutely everything that could be thrown at Obama, has been thrown.

He got a dry run on the whole shebang.

Fat Buchanan to use them as well.

21. Fucking idiots ....
This is a misdirection, as usual .... a fallacious, circular appeal ....

McCain hasnt closed the deal either .... Obama has an racial bias he needs to negate that McCain doesnt suffer ....

Obama is doing just fine, and the GOP can only watch as their desires fall from their grasp ....

Obama-Biden is headed to victory, and the ugliest campaign dirt cannot change that now ....

McInturff ? ... Your boy is going down, and there is nothing you can do ....

As an aside: Why is it that Republicans with anglo 'Mc' names have such a hard time overcoming an African American in an American presidential election ? .... Perhaps it is because he is a visionary, and you are morally bankrupt ?

Can you say : McLoser ?

23. Obama leads them in almost all states...
“Senator Obama has more money than God" what a line of bullshit that is. It is called strategy and using your resources wisely.

26. Wait, I thought all of the polls were bullshit?
According to many right wingers, McCain is actually winning the election and all of the polls are just the "liberal media" trying to help Obama.

Now the McCain camp admits they are losing?
