Why I think McCain will win.... BIG

[mypalfish]

If Obama loses the Democrats will only have themselves to blame.

Every four years it is the same attitude which sinks them.  IMO, this is more a problem with the party members than the candidate(s).

Painting the electorate as simplistic evil racist sheep is not a way to win an election.

Republicans manipulate and are cynical as well but they just do it better and don't betray themselves as much.  I have come to the conclusion that the Dems are just really bad at the politics game.

Just look at the Charlie Gibson interview with Sarah Palin.  Glaring at her over his glasses and oozing contempt, Gibson drew more attention to himself rather than to the sometimes shaky answers Palin was giving.  Dems in general, their supporters and the liberal media just can't hide their condescension and disdain for their opposition.

sbane is becoming one of the bigger Dem hacks on this forum, even if he has a green avatar. He may have not been "articulate" in the same way Obama is, but he sure wiped the floor with him.

I agree, about the McCain part.  No, McCain was not at all articulate at Saddleback.  But he WAS prepared.  He had his ideas and answers ready.  And he knew his audience would love quick, easy and decisive answers as opposed to thoughtful, nuanced and probative answers provided by Obama.  McCain won that event hands down and it was one of the turning points in the race.

Uhh, Gibson is our enemy.

This in about the worse case scenario for Obama:

I doubt if it will happen, and it's still reasonably close.
