#1 Clinton 's withholding the 'I've come to know this man' was vindictive and supremely self-serving I dislike HRC also, but give her some credit for being honest.

#2 The man's forty-something years old and has already written two books about...

HIMSELF!

#3 With the root causes of market and lending failures (green flags to unqualified minority and illegal immigrant borrowers) beginning to surface and all that is going on right now I would give Obama a snowball's chance in HELL! I remember my father sitting down to pay bills in the 1950's and asking..."where is it all going to end." He didn't live to see it, but it appears I may.

#4 My error...should read I wouldn't give Obama a snowball's chance in HELL! Peoria is not as stupid as the Beltway elites would like you to believe.

#5 After the way BO's supporters treated Hillary (kinda/sorta the same sort of BS they are aiming at Sarah....they've got serious female problems in his base), to ask her to vouch for his wonderfulness and sterling qualities is a bit much.

#7 But still it looks like 50% of the country is set to vote for him.

#8 Besoeker, the difference between snowball statements is insignificant because the snowballs chance is zero.

#9 Keeriste, the stoopid A-hole's numbers are going up, not down, since this mess emerged. F**king fool populace seems to believe His Nothingness is preferable to the current crew. Their transference to McPain is 100%. And, every time McPain ought to be making points, he screws it up and does something self-defeating. Instead of pulling away, he's dropping back. This, of course to me, is insane. Buuttt, I conclude that there are many insane voters. This is what scares the living crap out of me.

#10 Woozle, you are seeing the effects of mass advertising dollars as well as the constant fawning media coverage. Turn on the TV and you will see many times more Obama commercials than for McCain. The polls reflect what has most recently been implanted in the viewing public's mind.

#11 while i think McCain was right to go to DC, i also think he was wrong to drop his campaing commercials and announce he was suspending his campaign. that has led to all the buzz about inability to multi task, his age, etc. Noble ideals, but i fear it has cost him the election.

#12 I watched The One this morning for as long as I could stand it, then went to the barber shop. No escaping the issue there. People are really fired up about this piece of Kak and his constant references to starving children in Kenya and unrest in Africa.

#13 My GP's receptionist was very annoyed that Candidate McCain was deserting the campaign to swan around the Senate, until I explained he was taking his entire team to really work on the bailout plan. Now she thinks Candidate Obama is a ponce for avoiding the difficult work of government when it's critical.

#14 USN, a week is a long time in politics. I suspect the money spent on ads right now will have been wasted and McCain will have a new message after the rescue deal is done, and especially after the next debate. Remember, there's two to go and Bambi won't be getting better.

#15 Obama as Gatsby is brilliant. Charming, shallow, obsessed with his own desires and ultimately destructive to himself and those around him. Obama is an American archetype, but not one who offers much after the party, inevitably, comes to an end.

#16 The BO show is becoming the show of the audacity of self-aggrandizement.
