1. Hey, I saw a clip of one of his rallies the other night &
he was introduced as "the future president of the United States." Isn't that the equivelant of 'measuring the drapes?'

Also, the whole rally had a sort of WWE feel to it. I half expected to see McCain/Palin come out in costume & enter a ring set up in the midddle of the forum.

:rofl:

They are a fucking joke!

2. They're getting bang for their bucks I guess?
I can't decide if McCain's campaign is the worst ever, or Obama's is just the best ever and makes McCain's look like the worst ever.

5. I think ...

The 1976 Steelers played the 1976 Bucaneers. The 1976 Steelers were not one of the teams that made the Super Bowl, but Jack Lambert said they were maybe better than any of the Super Bowl winning teams.

The 1976 Bucaneeers are considered the worst team in NFL history.

They played...result? Steelers 42-0.

Think of this as a bit like that game.

6. A little from column A, a little from column B :)
Seriously, it seems like it's the perfect storm of an exceptional campaign (Obama) and an abysmally pathetic one (McCain).

8. Barack Obama's campaign had to be the best campaign ever run
just to be considered even with the standard campaigns of anybody else.

7. Hope they don't make too loud a noise
McCain might have a Vietnam flashback and think Charlie is launching a surprise attack. Who knows how he might react?

9. Make a Louder Crowd Noise and the Tv will multiply your crowd size perception.
