until October when I discovered the new algorithm : If it is reported by the MSM that the race is close after Columbus Day, and stays close until Halloween, then Republican candidate wins …

I’ve discovered an alogrithm as well. The most charismatic candidate wins. Reagan, Clinton, Bush Jr., and soon, Obama.

I’m pretty sure they don’t allow the mentally insane to vote.

In 1992 , I suspected that Clinton might win, in 1996 I knew he would.

I have no way of verifying this one way or the other.

*Pats Frankie on the head* Good for you.

It has now gone from Most Likely McCain ( but wait until Columbus Day ) to it is now O – V – E – R …

Translation: Obama will win for sure.

In 1992 , I suspected that Clinton might win, in 1996 I knew he would. In 2000, I wasn’t sure Bush could beat Gore , until October when I discovered the new algorithm : If it is reported by the MSM that the race is close after Columbus Day, and stays close until Halloween, then Republican candidate wins …

Why do I think McCain Palin will win in 2008? Because Palin’s speech was aimed at all the people McCain feared would stay home in Nov — and only them …

It has now gone from Most Likely McCain ( but wait until Columbus Day ) to it is now O – V – E – R …

Keeping with the theme of this thread, there are two questions I’d like to see answered, in order, of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates, respectively:

1) How much authority do you intend to cede to your vice president? In other words, how do you intend to use them?

2) If you were the presidential candidate, what would be the top ten items on your agenda, in order?

Nice to see the conservatives see the office of the VP as a joke.

Is he nuts?

The question Brian Williams asked him was if Palin was prepared to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. The fact that McCain feels she is more qualified than Obama doesn’t prove his argument because McCain says Obama isn’t qualified either. What is his argument, well she’s better than unqualifed Obama.

Is he nuts?

If the Democrats didn’t have a qualified candidate, should be have presented one?

Then he tells Brian Williams he wasn’t aware of any objections to Joe Lieberman has his running mate. Who believes that?

At this rate he maybe committed before elected.

It isn’t the candidate grilling the proposed VEEP personally, you know that right?

I put the whole thing in so you guys wouldn’t get suspicions. A vetting is done by staff members, lots of them.

There, now we are all speaking the same language. Thus endeth the lesson.

Enlightened liberal, are you some sort of a sock puppet? Someone else had picked up the Dr P meme a while back….

Looks like she didn’t tell Congress “Thanks, no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere. Alaska kept the earmark and when she couldn’t get $329 million more to complete the bridge (and yes she asked for more doe) she had to pull the plug on the project.

Why didn’t McCain’s campaign check out this story at least long enough to make sure the earmark spending was not accepted or returned.

This is mighty clumpsy McCain.

The vetting has been months in the making.

What do we think the next Democrat desperation gambit will be? Diebold? Voter disenfranchisement, aliens racist rednecks?

No one can question Biden’s ability to lead if something happens to Obama, though reasonable people can disagree on his policies. Palin is so over her head even running Alaska. How will she handle even a press conference as VP or President? What crises has she overseen? What world leaders has she met? What does she think about anything other than womb babies and her brother-in-law? Who knows?

It’s good to see a Republican that won’t eat anymore of those shit sandwiches their party keeps doling out.

On a side note, if Palin drops out, I propose that she be replaced on the ticket by the mayor of my town of 10,000. Unlike Palin, she’s been on the job 10 years and has run a budget surplus. After all, it’s all about executive experience.

I don’t like to make predictions because I’m a depressive. I use Electrical-Vote dot com, which currently has Obama at 278, McCain at 247. At this point last time, Bush was blasting Kerry out of the park.
