"Obama sounds too much like Osama", "he was a war hero" , "Palin is a mom like me"(woop de doo...my kids busdriver is a mom also but that doesn't mean we should vote her in for VP). I'm floored that it is even proving to be a close race. Well I guess when you consider that half the population doesn't care to even vote it makes sense that more than half of the voting population also doesn't care enough to be informed.

As much as Obama supporters believe he will be the next President it is not going to happen. B.O. might have the crowds at this time, but it will be the crowds voting against him and Democrats come November 4. Dems can't think for themselves so how are they going to get out and come to the polls anyway. McCain/Palin 08!

Yeah right - it couldn't be we are criticizing someone who is obviously unqualified to be VP let alone P when/ir Senator McCain's age catches up with us? Reality is noone cares to see John, he's old and old news.
