Exactly why McCain will win. Is that a good thing? Rather than the ultra liberal Obama...I guess it is ok.

Default It's all about Bush

McCain's psychotic insistence on clinging to Bush's agenda will make him a sad loser in November.

It was all over the news networks until they received word from Fox News that, no, it was Bush. So don't worry about it, you didn't really get him elected. And anyone who would vote Bush again for any reason should probably not vote at all.

Whoa, you must certainly be one of the befuddled masses who doesn't realize that Gore did not really try to protest the change in the results. In fact, he chaired a meeting of the representatives after the fiasco. And he not only denied the voices of the many petitions signed by the voters, he really seemed to delight in turning them away. One by one they were heard and dismissed. All because not one senator would sign on to open up the investigation being sought by the public. And the Electoral College is a direct attack on our right to vote. Everyone knows they really elect the president, so how can this be a true democracy. And I have actually read the constitution, have you. If you have you may come to the same conclusion that I have. They threw that out the door a long time ago.

He wasn't implying that America isn't happy with Bush, only that they were not happy with congress even more so.

Every election is different. This one will be different too.

Hitler had that great ability to inspire people too and we know how that turned out!

Yeah, but Hitler was preaching hate, not unity.

The ability to inspire people is one of the critical attibutes of leadership. Hitler had great leadership skills admittedly, but that's about the only thing he and Obama have in common. A better comparison would be Lincoln or Churchill - two great orators from the past.

McCain will go down in flames, just like Bob Dole did in 1996. The Republicans are sending out a placeholder candidate with no real chance of winning an election where the public has shown clear signs of turning away from the GOP.

I wouldn't bet on the outcome of this election. There are to many questions about all three candidates that need to be answered in the upcoming months. After eight years of our current vice president this election may be decided by their choices in running mate.
