"Suddenly it's looking like all the race-baiting and voter disenfranchisement and piling on the candidate winning in the big electoral states wasn't such a good idea after all"

Yes, hootowl, because one only needs to win a few big states to win the whole thing. None of the other states (like MI) are important.

Race-baiting and voter disenfranchisement? What the hell are you talking about? Are you a poor wounded PUMA? Wanna talk about baiting - the Palin choice was pure bait and nothing else for Xian fundies and soccer moms. (Republican men have been engaged in a different sort of -bating...)

What you call piling on is known in the real world as running an effective campaign.

You've posted your daily drivel here. You can collect your check from the McCain campaign and move on to another blog now.

Obama's strenghts in Michigan will be the Detroit area and the I-94 corridor. Count Grand Rapids (radical Republican stronghold) and all points north out for Obama. The state might very well go for McCain and for that it will have itself to thank when unemployment there reaches 15 percent under a withering Palin Administration in 4 years.

This was the "Foreign Policy" debate. This, supposedly, is McCain's strong suit vs. Obama. Most commentary indicates that this debate was close to a tie - which essentially means that McCain lost. McCain did not come out the clear winner.

As someone upthread pointed out, people are looking for a reason to like Obama. In this case, all Obama had to do was maintain his cool and be likeable. Mission accomplished.

Congratulations...

The mayor of Detroit is automatically qualified to be president because he can see Windsor, ON across the river.

You take the cake for today's stupidest post.

"McCain is right to put the country first and try to save us from this crisis." - What, exactly, is McCain doing, other than having his picture taken while looking presidential?

"Obama, like congress is more concerned with his own posturing." - Congress includes McCain.

"What I would like to know is where was congress?" - They're in Washington, DC.

"Their to busy trying to figure out how to make government bigger, and spend more taxpayer's money." - Welcome to the Bush years.

"This is a clear sign that we need partisianship out of congress." - Please, come back and let us know when you achieve that.

"They have an obligation to work together and put the people first." - Obliged to work together?

"They need to quit worrying about their own posturing." _ you said as much already.

"The media has a responsibility here too." - Fair enough.

"Quit just reporting according to your own liberal bias." - Did you mean "reality bias?"

"Try actually reporting what people need to know, instead of trying to tear down Palin." - People don't need to know about a woman who would be a heartbeat away from being president. Please expand on this concept - I'd love to hear your rationale.

"Why didn't the mainstream media send an entire cackle of reporters out to dig dirt ob Obama." - Where the hell have you been for the last 18 months??? (Rev. Wright, W. Ayers, secret muslim, inexperienced?, black radical, wife said "whitey?", most liberal senator, etc...)

"There's plenty of it." - See above.

"Yet, at this time it's time to focus on the current crisis." - You mean the one that's been brewing since Ronald McReagan sold you dumbfucks on "trickle-down" economics? Next question - where the hell has McCain been on this issue for the last 2 decades?

"If it weren't for Fox, I'd believe I was living in a communist country." - Oh, yes, FOX, that paragon of journalism. If you paid any attention at all, you would realize that FOX is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party (you know, the party that brought you the deregulation that led to the crisis you want resolved so badly). In fact, FOX's propaganda tactics very closely mirror those of the most powerful totalitarian regimes, but I wouldn't expect you to know that.

"What ever happened to journalistic intergrity?" - Don't look at FOX.

"Does anyone remeber Dan Rather?" - 4 people do.

"They have all turned into Dan Rathers." - I don't even know where to go with this...

"This is why we are not energy independant, and why we end up paying for stupid earmarks." - What the hell does Dan Rather, how ever many of them there are, have to do with energy independence or earmarks?

"America,get smart and demand more!" - Take your own advice.

Now, would you kindly ask the McCain Campaign to assign you to a different blog. Thank you.
