John McCain

[ZzzzDad]

quite right - I stand corrected.
Then again , he will be 80 and a few months lol. - and at that age, do 9 months either way make much difference? (blame the ABC lady who said he'd just had a birthday - and had turned 73)

Hey, who knows, he might have introduced stop-loss for politicians by then

Ha! Ha!

I am on record predicting and hoping he will only serve one term, and then step down and leave it for the new generation in 2012. I think he plans to go to Washingon and really shake it up, and then retire.

Of course, some of you guys are still under the delusion that Obama will win.

I believe you are badly mistaken... Do you think that she is inferior because she's from the country? LOL

Country boys...and girls can survive!

No. Not because she is from the country.

I'd love to know what Terri Irwin and/or Ross Garnaut think of Palin (THose are two people I admire btw)

Since Palin is
a) firmly in denial about AGW - probably about GW - who knows - and
b) determined not even to take the cautious option of giving it the benefit of any doubt - despite the consequences of failure.

It would have to be a complete slap in the face to the substantial runs on the board in European efforts in carbon reduction..

PS the caption for this one reads :-

"I'm none too proud of that one, He thought I was taking his picture"

PS John
Is it too late to change your VP choice

Having said that she's currently taking on the miners in Aus and the wildlife can't spare her absence for 4 years . ..

what a lady - what a genuine heroine !!

If Obama wins, get ready for socialism at it's finest.

Why does McCain's wife look like she has glad wrap on her face?

Her nose also look like MJ's, does she like little children?

Well, at least you yanks will understand what the rest of us have to endure.

Hang on! You've already got socialism! Your wealth is being redistributed from proletariat to those poor deprived banks, while the political class lives high on the hog.

There you go 2020, you prove your bias with this one. Everyone knows that there are grey areas in war, innocent victims, etc. But the Russian response to the tensions there were way over the top. In fact, they were waiting for any little provacation to take very aggressive action.

News flash to you - the Russian government, especially Vlad the Impaler Putin are NOT good people. They are doing an ethnic cleansing in South Ossettia and Abkhazia at this moment, and apparently all you can do is blame America and the Georgians.

McCain TV Ratings Beat Obama in Preliminary Numbers
By Andrew Krukowski

Presidential candidate John McCain's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention drew more television viewers than his rival Barack Obama attracted at the Democratic party's event last week, according to preliminary ratings from Nielsen Media Research.

Across all broadcast networks Thursday, Sen. McCain’s speech ended the night with a 4.8 rating/7 share, compared to Sen. Obama’s 4.3/7 average, according to overnight numbers from metered households in 55 U.S. markets measured by Nielsen. These ratings are preliminary, however, and are subject to change.

NBC’s coverage of Sen. McCain’s speech started directly at the tail end of the opening game of NFL season, with the speech pulling in a 6.3 rating/10 share, topping Sen. Obama’s speech last week by 26%. That lead-in may have boosted audiences who last night turned out in droves to watch Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin introduce herself to the country.

ABC’s showing of the McCain speech averaged a 4.5/7, down 2% from the same night of the Democratic convention last week, while CBS’ coverage took in a 3.4/5, an increase of 3%.

I watched just about the entire Republican Love-In last night, and what a joke!

Bloody hell I hope Australia doesn't go down that path, it was a damn circus. And, I imagine an expensive one at that.

And John McCain as an orator? Geeeesh! GWB is inspirational compared to him.

Zzzzzzzzzzz.

And, how did Elaine from Seinfeld get to be his running mate?

Palin Power: Fresh Face Now More Popular Than Obama, McCain

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...fresh_face_now_more_popular_than_obama_mccain

Friday, September 05, 2008
A week ago, most Americans had never heard of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Now, following a Vice Presidential acceptance speech viewed live by more than 40 million people, Palin is viewed favorably by 58% of American voters. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% hold an unfavorable view of the self-described hockey mom.........

Perhaps most stunning is the fact that Palin’s favorable ratings are now a point higher than either man at the top of the Presidential tickets this year. As of Friday morning, Obama and McCain are each viewed favorably by 57% of voters. Biden is viewed favorably by 48%.

Hand it to McCain, he has dramatically shaken up this race, and ignited his campaign.

And the Obama coronation last week was NOT a love-in? The Democrats spent more than 3 times as much on their convention, from what I've heard. And the media ate it up. They are in the tank for him.

By the way, no one ever said McCain was a great orator, just a steady hand at the wheel.

It's all a joke.

Obama has the media, game over. Neither are inspiratational or offer any real hope of change. Time to start looking at who is behind them pulling the strings....

It is well known that George Soros is behind Obama pulling the strings. Nobody pulls John McCain's strings (George Bush is evidence of that). He really is pretty much his own man - for better or worse.

 

[ZzzzDad]

One of the big fears that John McCain has with the Palin selection is that she is going to outshine him. There is such a grassroots groundswell for Sarah, that once they separate for campaign appearance throughout the country, she will draw Obama size crowds (and more), and John McCain will draw his normal size crowds. This election will be very interestin.

Serious question ZZD.
(and although I post those bookie's odds, I find them increasingly hard to believe i.e. at the very least, those odds should be closer you'd think)

But concerning Rasmussen and Gallop Polling - their published results seem to be miles apart.

Do they have barrows to push? are they politically tainted, right and left respectively?

e.g. typical question by Rasmussen "what do you think of Sarah Palin's georgous smile? Is she prettier than your wife? Points out of 10?"

e.g. typical question by Gallop "how many moose do you think that Palin woman murderd last year? If you put lipstick on a pitbull, would you kiss it? etc?"

If you get my drift.
