I watched it, and all I saw was cheering for McCain on his way to victory.

Well, he is on CNN.

Are you psychic too? I'm betting there'll be some Anderson Cooper bashing too. I'd tell you what I'd like to do with AC, but that doesn't conform to the TOS here.

The other fundamental question here is, how do you want to end your career, if John McCain ends his career? We're now starting to lose -- the potential is there to not only lose the Senate, but to lose the Senate leader, the Republican leader, to lose someone like Elizabeth Dole. We could lose 10 Senate seats. We could lose 25 House seats.

And the truth of the matter, he -- if he brings this party down, I mean, forever, his legacy will be that they lost 10 or 12 seats, 25 seats in the House, and he will give Barack everything he needs to basically move an agenda.

Default "John McCain and Sarah Palin try new tactics"

He blasts Obama's spending proposals; she goes after the Democrat's stance on abortion.

JOHNSTOWN, PA. -- After a week of increasingly nasty rallies in which John McCain and Sarah Palin hammered Democratic rival Barack Obama over his "association" with a 1960s-era radical, the Republican candidates changed tactics Saturday during campaign swings through two presidential battleground states. Palin launched a new front in the culture wars here, attacking Obama on abortion, while in Iowa, McCain concentrated on a critique of Obama's spending proposals.

John McCain and Sarah Palin try new tactics - Los Angeles Times

This will be a good opportunity for the right wingers to recognize, in ten days or so, that they've magically forgotten all about (for instance) William Ayers, so vitally important at the beginning of October - and to apprehend that they're being led around on a leash by these people.

While these two topics are easy to counter, still it aint over til it's over.

Why is this bad news for the republicans?

A good old-fashioned shellacking is the best thing that could happen to the republicans now, preferably through a visible number of third-party votes - and so the best thing for the US.

But after the landslide, I see the democrats actually trying to prop the republicans up, not because it's the best thing for the US, but because it's the best thing for all current politicians.

Figure it out.

Lots of X-factors still out there and the race is still going to tighten up before Nov 4th. Why? Because it always does. Gore and Kerry were both ahead in the polls at this point of their respective campaigns and lost. A few points of interest: Hilary's people are still p*ssed off, ACORN is on the radar screen, Americans traditionally prefer Republican presidents and divided government, with the election still three weeks away, people will begin to have second thoughts about Obama's liberal background and sleazy friends, right now, somewhere, a voter has just woke from a dead sleep to ask him/her self "how can he pay for any of this?", some conservative feminists and parents of daughters may change their vote at the last minute just to end that barrier and the Bubba vote could be as high as 7%.
