Re: Barack 2008!
McCain will win.
Seems Doris has a crush, Michelle better watch out!!
America is not ready to put an inexperienced, far left man in the white house. Has nothing to do with race, but extreme left policies that he would implement would completely bankrupt America.
Landslide ahead for McCain. McGovern....oops Obama doesn't have a chance.
There is sound reasoning for Obama attracting the college educated.
They have learned to think!
The job is for a leader of the people who vote.
No-one can deny that GWB has been a puppet of the oil companies and lobbyists.
Obama's
vast experience in leadership efficacy, as a community organizer, is reflected in his entire campaign. He has attracted a team of varied brilliance and experience in all facets of government tiers. He has attracted people who share his values and ideals and they are the ones he represents and will be answerable to. Sure he is liberal and this is a much-needed breath of fresh air in comparison to the stench of the GOP's erroneous administration.
Please explain (to use an Aussie 'Hansen' vernacular). How would Obama's policies facilitate GWB's momentum towards bankruptcy? Infrastructure, in all states, has been neglected since Clinton left office and urgently needs the services of the unemployed who will stimulate the economy with their remunerations.
The US is presently mass importing small cars to offset the $4 a gallon for gas (double the cost when I was in the states early last year). General Motors is thus losing customers despite working on fuel efficient and hybrid cars and needs government incentives which have been non-existent thanks to the greed of the oil companies GWB succumbs to.
Schools have been dumbed-down for years. Incentives for education are a panacea for developing any economy. The man in the street is being awakened to what he wants and invigorated to have a go. This attitude will permeate and rehabilitate the economy.

McCain is painting Obama as naive, weak and dangerous, arguing he is an opportunist whose poetic rhetoric masks inexperience and no record to back up his promise to drain US politics of partisan bile.
Naive to think that talking with people and listening to their qualms will gather information to repudiate their trepidations about their futures.
...Kenya ...the grassroots identification and adulation that has projected him.
Weak as he listens to those who are knowledgeable in their own areas of expertise instead of disregarding their qualms or solutions and implementing the pay-backs of the lobbyists and special interest groups that, historically, have perpetually bought their puppet's office.
Dangerous because the bully wants supreme power and the victim to acquiesce to their demands. We will give you aid but you will give us this in return. Obama wants win-win solutions. ...Kenya. How weak is that!
"For a young man with very little experience, he has done very well," McCain sarcastically told supporters in Florida last week.
Stressing Obama's inexperience is also a veiled way for McCain to defuse the age question -- turning 72 in January.
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Nasty.
Obama has experience where it counts.
A leader coordinates and contributes judgment and does not need to be a master of all trades.
But they do need to collaborate and conciliate and arbitrate with intelligence and fairness.

A group of Cuban dissidents has backed a call by the US presidential hopeful, Barack Obama, for direct talks with the new Cuban President, Raul Castro.
The current confrontation (with the US) is used by the authorities in Havana to justify their repression.
In one recent swipe, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds responded to Obama's idea for an easing of restrictions on contacts between Americans and Cubans as "weak" and "reckless" and reeking of "political expediency."
Incredible.
