It's amazing to me how many people actually think Obama has a chance to become president. I understand the media's reason to be fair for the reason of keeping things interesting and keeping people watching their programs. It's just amazing that so many people are living in this dream world and actually think Obama will get elected. These people must be very young and don't have a frame of reference from the past. Just only go back at last 12 years and study how these things work. These elections are decided 100 percent trust, patriotism, love for country and ability to relate to people in the heart of America. Anyone who thinks Obama can will is either delusional, young, or out of touch with middle America. It is middle America that decides elections and some people actually think they will vote against a veteran! That is not the way America thinks. I can not be any clearer than this.

This isn't very clear, but I'll respond anyway. What does 12 years have to do with Today? Why do you think the rest of America's vote doesn't count?

going back 12 years is an example someone can use to study how elections work in America.
If you use common sense you would know that Middle America decides the election and there is no way with two wars going on they are going to vote for an unknown character over a well known veteran. That is just not how America thinks. Your delusional, young, or out of touch with America if you think otherwise. Again, these are all facts and I am not trying to make anyone mad.

Depending on the age of the OP and many of McCains key supporters yes they are young.

Maybe just maybe they are tired of war and a candidate who wants to start some more? Maybe just maybe. Only time will tell. So if I read you right the Republicans would sacrifice our young to win an election?
wow oh wow.

Hmm..nice attempt at characterization.

Why should we consider the last twelve years when 8 have been an absolute failure of epic proportions? Why not 50 years? The entire Country votes. If you prefer the confines of the middle of the Country so be it. I prefer a candidate who considers the entire Country.

America is reluctant to change parties during a war but this is no normal year. Part of the problem is that McCain is a veteran of a war thirty plus years ago. Not a recent one. He is a true Veteran more suited for a parade then the Oval Office.

It's a matter of trust. Obama has ruined himself with his comments, his friends, his actions. It's amazing people actually think American's will put Obama in office at this point. The election outcome is all so predictable.

Another part of the problem is the current leadership, it's disarray, and the disgruntled populace in all things Republican.

This group of Republicans single-handedly destroyed the term and meaning behind it's most established and important selling point - FISCAL CONSERVATIVES.
