The BS is Flowing Today
All this talk about Obama/Clinton having no chance against McCain is purely delusional.
Show me one area of substantive policy where McCain significantly deviates from George W. Bush, one of the worst and least popular presidents of all time. Plus the fact that McCain has flopped on all of his "maverick" positions and is now busy felching the right-wing corpus. Plus the fact that he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to economic policy. Plus the fact that he can't tell Sunni from Shiite and seems eager to wage more war, not less. Plus the fact that he's solicited endorsements from extremist religious leaders who have made statements much worse than those by Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Any edge McCain may currently have (which I seriously doubt) is due to the fact that NOONE IS PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO HIM. Any competent campaign should be able to expose all these weaknesses. My money is on Obama.
Yes, a percentage of new registrations may be from nefarious republicans, but I believe most of them are by people who are hurting, both socially and economically, and see John McCain as George Bush's 3rd term.
