However, the backlash from an Obama wipeout would cost Hillary the election unless:<BR/><BR/>Clinton's agents of skullduggery manage to connect the devasting Obama information to the McCain campaign. That would sink McCain as he would then have too little time to recover before election day. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I believe Obama has probably been fully vetted. His Achilles heel is his wife, Michelle. Given her lavish salary and radical attitudes, it is almost certain she has supported at least one lowlife, fringe group (besides her church)in the recent past with an alarmingly generous donation. - Just another thought.Vigilishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05051789616490005367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-15419339566384088932008-08-17T20:39:00.000-06:002008-08-17T20:39:00.000-06:00Especially as uninspired -- to use an apt turn of ...Especially as uninspired -- to use an apt turn of phrase -- with McCain as so many conservatives are.<BR/><BR/>Too bad McCain is merely the version of Obama that won't arouse as much Republican opposition....Gus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-15511436233080522832008-08-17T14:03:00.000-06:002008-08-17T14:03:00.000-06:00"Obama is [...] already underperforming against Jo..."Obama is [...] already underperforming against John McCain." It's strange but true. Obama vs. McCain was supposed to be one of the Democrats' optimal matchups. <BR/><BR/>The Democrats knew Hillary would auto-win against Romney or Huckabee and they liked her chances in a closer match against Giuliani. They knew she couldn't beat McCain, though, because where she was weak, he was only somewhat less weak, and where she was strong, he was stronger.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Obama was supposed to completely trump McCain's "Maverick" factor and inspire all the fence-sitters and those disgusted with politics as usual. Obama was the only candidate on the Democrats' side who could out-McCain McCain; on the Republicans' side, there was only Ron Paul who could counter Obama in that way, and they didn't believe Paul was viable.<BR/><BR/>For Obama to have dropped into a statistical tie with McCain at this late date is akin to the Mets' collapse of 2007 from being eleven games up at the end of August to missing the playoffs entirely.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10125745545009130612noreply@blogger.com
