Latest Gallup Poll... looks like Rev Wright means Obama is finished!

[240 is Back]

hahaha not really...  seems like that story has passed and things are back to normal...

Obama 46, mcCain 44%

Mccain 46, Clinton 46%

Mccain and hilary are tied, and obama has a slight lead over mccain.  I'd dig up the posts from last week where blowhards were gloating about the 8 point hit that Obama took, saying how Obama was finished etc....
or my response that people have goldfish memories and that they won't remember in a week, much less in 30 weeks for the election...

yep you were right.

But, as you said, the real race hasn't even started yet. We'll see how the bullets fly when it's down to Obama and McMis-speak.

mccain has mistaken sunni/aq/shiite/iran SIX TIMES in 2 weeks now.

That's without being under pressure - that's scripted comments when he's felt the need to say it.

Wait til he has to answer tough Qs in the debates.  Should be fun to watch.  We'll have to see Obama get loose too.. he can't be Joe Kool forever.

Is McCain like aging rapidly or is it my befuddled mind or crappy TV?

I swear the man looked significantly older last interview I saw with him, compared to a few weeks back.

Yes, when he travels, the jet lag wears on him greatly.  A close race in October will have him looking 110 years old.

On the other hand, Obama's been on the campaign trail for what, 9 months straight and still looks great?  He's a young 47 years old.  McCain is 24 years older, and doesn't look young for 71.

McCain looks fine for a 71 yr old but you guys are right, that incredible schedule and amount of stress isn't nearly as well tolerated at 71 as 47.  I can't imagine its good for health.

[240 is Back]

he's already made age an issue - said last week that he's taking his age into account when choosing a running mate, someone who could step in.

lib media jumped all over that - an opening to discuss age as a factor, as mccain brought it up.

[shootfighter1]

Probably not the best idea, but its true.  Plus, assuming his health isn't an issue, we know he would only be a one term president so his VP is extremely important.
