I can't see how anyone could possibly do worse than GWB.

" Why Obama will Win"

If this is an opinion poll of TD members, why title the topic this way?

Milkman · 26-07-2008, 02:08 AM

^ The title may be a joke, as McCain is tightening in the polls in key battleground states. Apparently, according to the analysts (if they're accurate) The Independents are still in play. We'll have to wait and see. Lot of time left (in politics).

I suppose this must represent progress of a sort but like a battery driven toy whose direction is determined by the force of the impact upon the wall, one can never be sure where it may lead.

Come on Britvic, go for a paragraph and let's see you cookin'.

thegent · 26-07-2008, 05:43 AM

Obama is Kennedy without the cream. Shaken or stirred but black as it comes and the message is clear: after the wilderness years the septics have a new messiah and that is the message. Change for change sake without any substance is already on the ticket and therefore irresistable.

But who cares?

Probably the Gitmo concentration camp inmates which suggests a start.

Bookies in the UK are offering 2-1 for McCain to win, put everything you have on it and triple your money!

sabang · 26-07-2008, 10:26 AM

^ Theres a case to be made that this is a good bet actually. It's well enough known that the rest of the World do not want another unpopular Republican admin, so a fair amount of the overseas betting will be driven by the Heart rather than the Head.

But I've made my call.

Jet Gorgon · 26-07-2008, 10:34 AM

I agree with SEA T and theGent. BO looks pretty and has the presidential aplomb down pat to wow foreign leaders (oh, he was so cute in Israel). But, Americans have to decide who will be their leader. Who cares about TR of W. It's not their country. Puff ball or the old guy. Thinking Americans on the left and independents are really starting to question this star guy.

Oh, I must add this. Did a report last week on a utility co based in Chicago, BO's home town. Yep, those Democratic champions there are sucking companies dry. This utilities firm is buying at 12 cents and forced to sell at 2 cents to them poor welfare black folks coz the regulators say so. These guys are backing BO. Yum yum, god bless America.

sabang · 26-07-2008, 10:42 AM

^ Contrary to some of the Rightist rhetoric I hear, I have to disagree with you there Jet. Americans do care what the Rest of the World thinks- indeed like good, normal people everywhere, they want to be liked and approved of. On an individual level, people that don't want to be liked, or don't care, have a mental illness.

Texpat · 26-07-2008, 11:35 AM

Tell us more about Americans, please!

You must have a warm fuzzy feeling inside you knowing the American people so well.
