Many historians see little chance for McCain (voters, democrat, Republican)

[Art123]

"Historians belonging to both parties offered a litany of historical comparisons that give little hope to the Republican. Several saw Barack Obama’s prospects as the most promising for a Democrat since Roosevelt trounced Hoover in 1932. "

As an Obamaton, I can only say, "Don't give up hope, John."

If there would have been anyone halfway decent running against McCain in the first place he wouldn't even be the nominee right now.

This SHOULD be a year that a dem captures the WH. No doubt about it.

But, as we have seen, the dems/libs have a way of mucking things up. A sure winner has turned into 50-50 chance.

All because the dems/libs have NOT learned from history. DO NOT nominate THE MOST LIBERAL candidate you can find.

HISTORY has shown they are rejected time after time by the voters.

Seems those same historians need to check history again.

One week into the general election, the polls show a dead heat. But many presidential scholars doubt that John McCain stands much of a chance, if any

Huh? Is there an echo in here?

Thanks for the link though. Although I hardly agree that this election will be a cakewalk for Sen. Obama.

Obama has more of an uphill battle than Hillary would have, but nontheless I feel pretty confident that the ball is in his court.

To early to tell, without knowing who the vp candidates will be.

Oh politico.com. Seems other sites say it will be a close election. Historian are not exactly the best at judging elctions more looking 25-50 years down the line more in their line but even thewn they disagree. Most depending on their biases like any human.
