I can't wait.

I just remember this great little scene in Austin:


YouTube - Barack responds to Attacks and Hillary gets booed

I wish you were right but I think even his handlers understand that "duck and hide" is in his best interests -- a policy he used vs. Hillary and now McCain. The more publicity Obama gets; like his foreign nation victory tour, the more he sinks.

If McCain is smart, he will use this week to announce a major plan or strategy. He's got media attention, let's see how he'll use it.

Fact is, Obama couldn't actually get more dem popular votes than Hillary. And even with the media fueled ground swell of anti-republicanism, Obama is losing ground to a mediocre candidate. To be sure he may win but there is no country-wide mandate or support for Obama; indeed, to date he's been a very week candidate and very polarizing.

I predict he'll spend the week talking about Obama. That's all he's done over the past couple of months.

And I showed how Obama is such a weak candidate; such an empty suit, that I don't think anyone will notice him missing. Obama sinks when he has attention; duck and hide is his strategy. McCain catches him when he opens his mouth off the teleprompter.

McCain gave a major speech on Georgia today, didn't take any questions and I wonder how much press coverage it will end up getting? CNN showed the speech live but I am not seeing a lot of followup in the press. Maybe with time.

I worry that somehow the GOP will once again STEAL the election, like they did last time in Ohio and before that in Florida. They are so dirty they will find a way to get back in office, whether or not legitimately elected.
