He is showing signs of Alzheimer's - repeating himself frequently in short unscripted speeches, having problems remembering the name of his running mate and where she is from (had to have it on an index card), erratic emotions with agitation and outbursts, and poor judgment in not vetting his VP selection, not to mention lying about it - saying the FBI did a background check when they never even do that for anyone on a short list. He is no longer a maverick but more of the same - the US versus The world Neo-con mentality that will only get us into more wars and no support from other countries with his confrontational mentality. He is living the 70's over again. In his mind, it is still a battle against Communism. I feel sorry for him and think he needs help.

What I can't understand is why the Demos do not counter the Repubs when they say that Palin has more executive experience than Obama. With this "Executive Experience" as a key criteria, only Governors would be eligible for the Presidency. And when you look at who is now president and remember that he was a governor, that really gives you some insight that being a governor is not necessarily the best training ground for president.

I wish he would use the FACT THAT MCCAIN HAD SEXUAL AFFAIRS FOR 5 1/2 YEARS IN HIS FIRST MARRIAGE BEFORE DIVORCING AND MARRYING CINDY.!!!!
Yet he stands on his high moral and ethical horse as a "conservative Christian" along with pushing his VP pick's moral conservative family values as well, trying desperately to sway the Evangelical vote!!!!

But just wait til the actual vote. All the young Obama voters with no landline phone (only cellphone) don't show up in any polls. They're the "hidden margin" for Obama. McCain skews to older voters that all have landline phones. Ha! Obama / Biden 08 "Polls are meaningless" –> Yes, true.

What was McCain thinking? Wait, he wasn't. We all know that if this was Obama's 17 year old daughter who was pregnant - not even his daughter, his third cousins daughter - all of you Republicans would be having a field day with the news and somehow claim that this would impair his judgment and he absolutely could NOT be our Commander in Chief.

Forget the stories about the polls - the media needs to do a service to all Americans and examine closely the election process and any problems that exist BEFORE November - and start in Ohio. Otherwise - more of the McSame - long lines to vote in heavily Democratic precincts due to purposeful understaffing; disqualified absentee ballots because they folded it incorrectly; machines that lose their memory - again in heavily Democratic precincts.

I've seen lots of elections and many different presidents over the years and my vote is still undecided. Polls don't win elections. When was the last time the poll won the election? People win elections and in the case of the Presidency (a team wins and a team loses). Hold on to your hat it really should be interesting between now and election time.
