    McCain Lost

    When Fox News is already calling the election you know it is all over for the Republicans.


    Guess they want to prep all their viewers so they don't shit themselves come Nov.

    HungryHeart,

    I'd love to see a link for this. If you can, thanks. Yes, if Fox is saying this, the GOP is in trouble. Not just McCain, but the GOP candidates running in certain districts for Congress.

    FOX News/Rasmussen Reports Poll: Obama Widens Lead in Three Battleground States - FOXNews.com Elections



    McCain is done , when their own propaganda tool reports this after all of their phony polls about McCain being in the lead.

    Is is a DEAD GAME for the Nazi Republicans

    looks increasingly likely that whichever canditate the GOP chose for this cycle was going to be nothing but fodder, bit like Kerry in 2004.

    does anyone think another canditate could have done a better job?

    Hind sight is 20/20 but when McCain won the GOP nomination, the issue was Iraq and his experience in this area and foreign policy were strengths. With the economy in free fall, he is playing outside his strength. Given the economic crisis, Mitt Romney would be the choice. Bloomberg didn't run but he would be my choice if he had.

    A McCain/Romney may have had a chance? Shame he gambled so recklessly on Palin.

    Could not agree more. Twas very short sighted. He needed to revitalize the core Republicans and Palin has certainly done so but has been a detriment in swaying Independents.

    I agree with you on Romney, Norton.

    He had the "conservativeness" even though a Mormon. He had the looks, and the packaging. Romney is not old and he seems intelligent and practical.

    Yeah earl, boonmee, and jet have gone very quiet. CNN is reporting the same. Laying most of the blame on Palin.

    What have I missed?

    Has Hollywood finally come true and a black man is President?

    bar the shouting, absolutely.

    ignore the denials from the staunch right wing nut jobs like jet and Earl.

    I think Chris Rock put it best:

    "George Bush f*&%ed up so badly, he made it difficult for a white-man to run for President"

    There is/was no way the xian right would have accepted Romney. Mccain would have faced a mutiny from his base.

    Pai Nai Ma, has good on points on his points above.

    Also, we have 29 days to go.

    I am crossing my fingers, but trepidation lingers.

    I am worried about the inherent racism prevalent in society . . . electing a 'black' man to represent 200million 'whites'. It is also fairly clear that the Hispanic vote will go to the Republicans, if they vote.

    Nope, not over by a long shot . . .

    I agree with several of the posters here that the Palin choice did more damage in the long run than the short term gains making it worthwhile.

    A circus

    I think the next presidency is going to be a poisoned chalice no matter who wins it.

    Yes, the next administration will inherit a mess, in many ways.

    McCain has been counted out before and he went on to steamroll his opponents. This isn't over in any sense. Polls are meaningless.
