I was looking at that thread earlier and forgot to look at the date and I thought it was more recent.

A smart Republican slime machine would turn Obama into a coke head libertine and he would maybe win ten states.

It's like listening to end-time prophecy with exact dates. That was funny.

I actually found the Blago banner in one guy's signature the funniest part, but that's just me.

     I noticed that looking through old topics awhile ago. Supporting Blago is like supporting Bush.

People are very conveniently forgetting that many of these comments are from before the 2006 GOP melt-down. I would still say that all things considered Obama wasn't that strong a candidate. In a "normal" election-year that wasn't tilted so heavily towards the Democrats he probably wouldn't have had much of a chance at getting elected.

Yes. And only 2 posters in that thread say Watts: DWTL (no further comment required) and MaC, who is not a blue avatar, does not even post anymore and wasn't know for accurate predictions as far as I can remember. Also note that the latter only says Watts would win, not anything negative about Obama, etc.

So if you want to use that particular thread to laugh at DWTL, go ahead, but come on, isn't his prediction enough?

Hilarious.

Like PiT, I was looking through those posts a while ago and I couldn't contain my laughter. Primarily due to the large abundance of comments which suggested that Watts would be able to defeat Obama on experience alone. Now, if the 2008 Election had indeed been based on experience, we all know who the victor would have been.

The fact is in a normal year with a competent Republican campaign, Watts would destroy Obama.  This was really the worst possible scenario for Republicans (unpopular president, high negatives VP, unmotivating candidate, inept campaign, general mood against them, economic crisis, unpopular war) and still Obama only got 350 or so EVs

And the reason for that would be nullified if Obama was facing Watts. Watts is also FAAAAAAAAAAR to the right of McCain, so he isn't going to do any better than McCain.

Yeah, I found that some time ago too. He seemed like a genuine Blago hack, too.

True.  And Watts would be more popular with conservative moralists.

See, unlike Obama, Watts has accepted responsibility for the children he has sired out of wedlock.  At least some of them.

Obama hasn't.

Oh wait.  Obama has no "out of wedlock" children.  But nevermind...he's just another family values pretender -- unlike the "real deal" conservatives who have so impressed America with their personal sexual restraint.
