A Picture Worth 150,000 Words

"Obama’s young supporters in the winter was largely due to Iraq the decline of Iraq from the front page has put out the fire, to the extent that, like the young woman who made a sexy video calling herself Obama Girl and then didn’t vote in the New York primary because she went to get a manicure, they might not want to stand on line on Tuesday."

How many registered Democrats do you know that did not vote for Obama? We know many. The early voters are mostly Democrats, however how many voted for Obama? Don't be misled by the in the tank for Obama media. It is not over until the last vote is counted. Vote.

And the Mighty Mo explains why I didn't go for McCain like I would have in 2000:

Who’s the Question Mark?

By MAUREEN DOWD
In the final moments of the most gripping campaign in modern history, John McCain is still trying to costume Barack Obama as a dangerous enigma.

But, in an odd and remarkable reversal, it is McCain who is the enigma, even though he entered the race with one of the best brands in American politics.

And it is Obama, who sashayed onto the trail two years ago as an aloof and exotic mystery man with a slim record and a strange name, now coming across as the steadier brand.

The McCain campaign specializes in erratica, while the Obama campaign continues to avoid any dramatica.

McCain pals around with Joe the Plumber and leaves Tito the Builder to Sarah Palin, exactly the kind of inane campaign silliness that the McCain formerly known as Maverick would have mocked mercilessly.

He’s getting a little traction on taxes, as he latches on to every possible scary image about Obama — except the suggestion that the Democrat’s gray Hart Schaffner Marx suits are red.

Before he was bubbled by Bushies, McCain was one of the most known and knowable quantities in American politics. For most of his long public career, he prided himself on his openness with the press — he even allowed some reporters to watch the results of January’s New Hampshire primary in his hotel suite in Nashua. He relished spending all day being challenged by voters and reporters.

Last summer, tapped out and unable to afford a paid staff of political professionals, he talked freely, telling reporters he would have a White House that would be the polar opposite of the secretive and dismissive Bush-Cheney operation. He imagined weekly press conferences and talked of subjecting himself to a version of British question time in Congress. While acknowledging he was a tech tyro, he promised to try “a Google,” as he called searching the Web, to put government spending online so citizens could bird-dog it.

He even went so far as to spin a dream of a West Wing in which he would cut back on his Secret Service so he wouldn’t feel so constrained.

In the end, “The Bullet,” or “Sarge,” as McCain calls his replacement campaign manager Steve Schmidt, was the one who did the shackling, turning the vibrant and respected McCain into a shell of his former self.

Schmidt abruptly cut off the oxygen supply to McCain’s brain. No more of the oldest established, permanent floating crap game of press confabs. No more audiences that weren’t vetted for friendliness. No more of McCain’s trademark insouciant mocking the process even as he participated in it.

Whether it was the five years he spent in a hole in Hanoi or just his gregarious makeup, McCain seemed to feed off of the company of people who interested him, be it reporters, voters or the pols in his posse, like Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham.

Unlike Obama, He Who Walks Alone, McCain always rejected the solitary in favor of the social. But ever since Sergeant Schmidt put Captain McCain into a sterile brig on the trail, the candidate has become a question mark.

Why would he repeat that oblivious line about the fundamentals of the economy being strong, saying it once in August and again in September?

Why would he threaten to not show up for a debate (after denouncing Obama for not rising to the challenge of joint town halls) so that he could go to Washington and play the shining knight if he had no plan and no prospect for success?

Why did he allow his campaign to become a host body for a Bush virus looking for someplace to infect? After working so hard to erase the image of what Senate aides called “the Bush hug,” McCain inexplicably hugged Bushies, surrounding himself with mercenaries trained in the same Rovian tactics that tore up his family — and tore apart his campaign — in 2000.

Why did a politician who once knew how to play the game so well, who was once so beloved by people of very different political stripes, allow his campaign to get whiny, angry, vengeful and bitter?

Why Palin?

(Her latest instant classics came Friday, when she entered a rally in York, Pa., to the tune of “Thriller” and when a conservative radio station broadcast an interview in which she accused reporters of threatening her First Amendment rights by attacking her for negative campaigning that she feels justifiably calls out Obama “on his associations.”)

Why did he allow his staff to put Palin on a couture catwalk in a tin-cup economy and then, when the price tags were exposed, trash her as a “diva” and “whack job,” thus becoming the rare Republican campaign devoured by Democratic-style vicious infighting?

The ultimate riddle is this: Why doesn’t McCain question why he has become a question mark?

How can you be full of humor when so many seems not to get the simple message of Obama: no tax increase for those makes less than $250,000? I notice that the republicans called this socialism but for getting that tax cuts for the wealthy is just another way of socialism! Spreading the burden more downward. Someone has to pay; and guess who that may be in the republican ideology, 'you that makes less'. Not much you can say to some of these unthinking believers of the 'trickle down' theory of spreading the wealth. If you are going to vote for your pocketbook, just answer the question: 'do I make more than $250,000?'. If you do not then vote Obama!

BEFORE YOU VOTE! http://www.veoh.com/videos/v16305269G6fTetj5

you're an idiot geezz get a life

When the Republicans are not being downright vicious and mendacious, they fall back on being just hilariously stupid. Hope they enjoy eating crow on November 3.

Mabel,
You are so right!
McCain supporters need to get out the vote!
Bring a friend or a car load of friends to the polls!

Don't let the lefty lib news media, hollywood, or the lib pollsters get you down. McCain has every chance in the world to WIN.
This is the farthest difference apart two candidates have ever been running for Pres.! And, McCain is rather moderate. So, that means Obama is so far LEFT and so far Radically LEFT, it would change life as we know it in this wonderful country of ours!
DO NOT LET A RADICAL BECOME PRESIDENT!
VOTE McCain/Palin!!!!

Women's issues and Sarah Palin:

atti,
Didn't you get the memo???? It is not $250K!!!
It went from under $250K to $200K, then $150K (per Joe Biden) then it was $120K and a new web site shows it is at $75K.
These people aren't elected and they've dropped the no tax income level 4 or 5 times!!!!!
What if they got elected???? OMG Taxes---OUT OF CONTROL!!!!
Don't LET IT HAPPEN!!!
VOTE MCCAIN/PALIN!!!!

Obama's done... Real American's aren't going to sell out their country for a free lunch pass.

redbluevote,
You are going to direct us to an MTV video to discredit Sarah Palin???
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!
No credibility!!! I won't let my kids watch MTV--sexual exploitation of women, dance moves that simulate sex acts, words to rap songs that demean and encourage violence against woman and call woman the foulest names you can call a woman. LIKE the words on an OBAMA SUPPORTER T-Shirt that read "Sarah Palin is a C*nt." (and for what? being a great American who only wants to serve her country???)
Don't mention MTV to me! I know how they fel about women!

If Sen Obama's grandma was gravely ill and he announced to the Media he was so concerned, why did he wait 3 days to fly to her side and then turn around and come back immediately. Sounds like he went for a quick scheduled business appointment and already begun spending our (tax payers) money.

This article and the conservative postings are some of the most ridiculous 1/2 thoughts I've ever heard. The only thing any reader can get from them is "Hate/hate-hate-hate...hate, hate

Wow, the venom. Let me tell you why McCain is going to lose: Who wants to join with the hateful, venomous people?

Pisces59,
If you call venom bringing to light Obama's real plan for America, then we need more venom!!!!
I call it truth!
Obama would be the absolute worst thing that could ever happen to our country!
His economic plan will lead us to a Depression!
His military plan will make us weak and vulnerable!
His health care plan will reduce the quality and quantity of our medical care!
These are bottom line statements, all true, all provable!
If you want to call any of that venom, so be it, but I call it fear and concern for the United States of America!
Vote McCain/Palin to protect America and get us back on track economically!

Interesting that the liberals keep saying that everything they do not agree with is "hateful." Since it appears that their plan is to gradually reclassify much of what is currently "free speech" as "hate speech" after the election I guess that this is just a precursor. Then they get rid of talk radio and conservatives will have to meet in secret like they are forced to do in Hollywood.

On the other hand, I have attended a couple of McCain events and the only truly "hateful" people have been the liberal protesters who spew hatred of all ideas they do not agree with and are truly vile and rude to those attending the events. Funny thing is they rationalize it by saying that the moderates and conservatives need to be shouted down because their traditional ideas are "hateful".

COAL STATES, THINK AGAIN!!

Barack Obama – 2008, ON VIDEO -- Presidential Candidate

"If someone wants to build a coal-fired plant, they can, it's just it will bankrupt them".

Joe Biden – 2008, ON VIDEO – Vice Presidential Candidate

“No Coal Plants Here in America”.


Over 120,000 people work in the American Coal Industry
Virginia, Ohio, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and others.

Average American Coal Miner Wage $66,000 per year.


And that, my friends is how Socialists deal with American Free Enterprise!!

The media wants to create a "feeling" of Obama's imminent victory. It is nothing less than psychological warfare to drain you of your enthusiasm.

Don't buy into this nonsense.

We can win this! Make sure you get out & vote!!!

Especially in my great state of FLORIDA we can be the deciding factor in this election lets get it done!!

McCain!!!

Where are the medical pros and facilities that will be able to handle Big O's "universal healthcare"?

McCain will go into the jewelry business with Cindy while Sarah goes to jail.

Results will be 52% Obama, 38.5% McCain, 6% Ron Paul, 2% Nader, 1% Barr, .5%McKinney.

THANKS, CALEB
I THINK YOU SAID IT ALL
I DONT WANT ANY OF THESE KOOLAID DRINKERS TO EVER SAY THE WORD 'IMPEACH ' IF THEY EVER VOTE IN OBAMA.
THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY OPTION LEFT.. THEY ARE IN A HURRY TO COMMIT THIS FATAL MISTAKE..

OBAMA HAS DONE NOTHING AND WILL DO NOTHING..
THE CLINTONS WITH ALL THEIR POWER AND GOOD ECONOMY COULDNT DELIVER UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK OBAMA WILL?
OBAMA IS A A SACK OF LIES WHO IS PROBABLY BESIDE HIMSELF WONDERING HOW HE COULD BE SO LUCKY TO FOL AMERICANS.
AMERICANS ARE FOLLOWING AND BELIEVEING THIS PIED PIPER
OBAMA WILL DELIVER NOTHING-ZERO
THEN THE MEDIA AND THE SAME PEOPLE WHO FED US THIS CLOWN WOULD CRY
