[240 is Back]

Will you be watching Mccain's speech, or the first game of the NFL season?

wtf    

what idiot put this together

[240 is Back]

you're kidding right ?

Nah, and it's not accidental.

The contrasts between Obama giving a speech-of-a-generation about hope on the 45th anniversary of MLK's best speech in front of 76,000 people... and Mccain playing to a few thousand with something far less memorable...

They'd prefer to have the scapegoat of the NFL to BLAME for their low viewer numbers.

Speech of a generation.............. ..... ::)more bullshit and empty promises u mean.

[240 is Back]

do you honestly believe that's the GOP's strategy ?

Yes I do.

Mccain is on the wrong side of most issues, and he's essentially tied with Obama.

All he has to do to cruise into a win is "not screw this up".

The smaller audiences for him, the better.  He can win 45% of the vote by just showing up this november.  Hopefully, he can grab another 6% somehow and get the job.  However, he CAN go downhill by looking bad - and every moment he's on tv - he risks that bigtime.   

He looks old.  He has 'senior moments'.  Better to minimize the exposure he has, and keep the chances low he is perceived as too old for the job.

Since when was the war on terrorism, taxing less, and drilling for oil wrong?

If Obama is running such an awesome campaign then his numbers are pretty pathetic seeing as how they are neck and neck.

Mccain is behind Bush, and the war in Iraq.  That contradicts about 75% of americans.

He's also said that the Bush tax cuts are the way to go - and that our economy is on strong underpinnings - even as all the experts decried them and saw a forecast he refused to acknowledge.

My point is that due to his character and reputation, he's tied.  If you switch him and obama's positions on everything, mccain is winning with 80% of the vote.

I agree.  McCain is actually saying much of the right things. 

[240 is Back]

Mccain can win this election by 'just not fcking things up'.

Obama is the one that can win - or lose - by 15 points.

Obama will either mature and answer the Qs, or shrink away and hope to ride the anti-bush sentiment into the white house.  I'm less fond of him every time I see him talk.  Mccain just keeps being the 'default' guy.  Remember when he was polling at 2%, and just kept plugging away, letting Rusy and Mitt self-destruct on each other?  Remember he let Fred Thompson expose himself as a simple hick.  Remember he let Hick out-hick himself. 

Mccain just shows ups brown bag lunch and keeps his head down, stays on message.  He's waiting for obama to blow it, and trying not to blow it for himself.

Bro, he's been right on most everything because he think before he engages in discussion, he does not debate he just states what needs to be stated, unlike Obama who keeps talking himself into a ditch. His energy, economics, and war strategy are solid, Obama has switched around, and tried to grasp too many groups.

Yeah bush maybe at 35% approval rating but the democratic "do nothing" congress is at 9% the lowest level of approval in the nation's history.

Bush is way lower than 35%.

And Congress has ALWAYS been lower than the president, and almost always that low.  When Clinton was in the 70%s.... congress was still in the 20s.  They're bloated fatcats.

The fact that bush was in the 70s in 2001, and 20s today - THAT speaks volumes.  Congress has always sucked, historically.

No the new numbers came out today.
On the contrary, when the dems took control of congress approval was far beyond Bush's approval rating and people thought things would "change"....they did...for the worse
