		<description>RE: response #2. 
We&#039;re not going to go to war with Russia.  
Georgia is an ally, but they are NOT in NATO. 
So, we&#039;re not going to war with Russia. 
Come on people.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s it exactly.  If the Dems had put someone like Evan Bayh up for president or, even better, someone like Bill Richardson with gubernatorial experience...cakewalk.  That&#039;s all that needs to be said, cakewalk.

I am a pretty politics savvy person and I&#039;m even getting tired of hearing about this b.s.  Let&#039;s get onto the debates.  I can&#039;t wait until this stupid election is finally over.  I really feel that 90% of Americans already know who they&#039;re going to vote for.</description>

		<description>Obama is too far left to win the general election.  In a year when the Democrats should have been able to run a yellow dog and win, they nominated an inexperienced radical... marxist even who&#039;s a product of the old style Chicago dirty political machine. 

The numbers will not allow an extremist from either party to get elected when facing a moderate from the other party.

Until the Democrats realize they have to nominate a moderate Dem to appeal to all the voters in the center of the bell curve, they are destined to scratch their heads and wonder how they let the White House get away.

The more people know about Obama the less they like him.  As long as they are able to project their own hopes and dreams onto his ephemeral eloquence, they support him... but when they begin to see his dreams don&#039;t really match theirs BHO&#039;s popularity will plummet... it&#039;s already starting and no change in tactics will help.

The lesson Democrats learn from this election is the really important bit that needs to be answered.  But this election was lost in February when the press decided they wanted to crown him without doing a proper job vetting him.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s truly amazing how polarizing this election is.  True Obama fans see it one way and the true McCain fans believe he&#039;s the answer.  I&#039;ve always found politics extremely interesting, but you can sure see the hackles rise on people when you talk Obama vs McCain.</description>

		<description>Do we even know Obama?  The campaign and media machine spent more time over the past two weeks digging up dirt on Palin than they did exposing the obvious dirt on Obama over the last nearly 24 months.  If someone&#039;s past, associations, and influence needs to remain secret in order to be electable, what does that say?  Red flag!  Red flag!  Dishonesty!  No truths!  

Politics should not be about image and fluff as much as it should be about the issues and leadership on these issues.  Ted, please stick to your marketing wisdom in business and leave the political leadership to the people who lead on principle in that &quot;arena&quot; ... not on image, marketing, and polls please.

Obama is the wrong man in the wrong time for the wrong job.  God help the USA and the world if this man is elected.

What do you see in this guy and why are you in the tank for him?</description>

		<description>Heres a stratagy for the Democrats. Lie, Spin, and rederick. It works great in this country. We go to war over it. McCain is doing great and the polls keep rising lie after lie. It makes me sad to know that we are a people atleast half made up of uninformed lazy sound bite feeding followers that have moved there blind faith in god to politics. Once again the republicans have turned an election into a joke. Obama talks about the issues every day on the campaign trail but the media wont play that part. They just want to play the 20 second responce to the poop the other side was shoveling yesturday. Its our job to look past the poop and find the truth cause its part of the game and they aint never gonna stop shovelin it.</description>

		<description>First and foremost, the Obamessiah is in trouble because for the first time in his political career, he&#039;s actually having to run against a Republican and he doesn&#039;t know what to do.  Sorry, Alan Keyes does not count.  Add in the fact that he&#039;s trying to reach out to the middle while continuing to satisfy a nutroot base that backed him in the first place and it is no wonder he&#039;s all over the map.

And can we give credit where credit is due?  John McCain has run an outstanding campaign thus far.  He neutralized the much ballyhooed &quot;$$$$$&quot; advantage of the Obamessiah by McCain&#039;s excellent use of &quot;new media&quot; by posting ads on YouTube for free and letting the &quot;unbiased&quot; MSM run them for him.  I&#039;m surprised you missed this one Ted.

But while the &quot;unbiased&quot; media&#039;s despicable actions in this race have certainly made it harder for the Democrats, they&#039;ve done most of the damage to themselves.  They&#039;ve been running on &quot;we&#039;re not Bush&quot; since 2002 and it only finally worked for them in 2006. But they continue to lack an agenda other than &quot;we&#039;re not Bush.&quot;  Bush is history, campaigns are about the future and the Dems can&#039;t get over 1998 and 2000.

It is downright laughable for the Obamessiah to attempt to tie McCain to Bush.  Anybody who has been even the slightest bit of attention for the last 8 years knows that McCain has been a thorn in the side of Bush more than he&#039;s been a rubber stamp.  The Obamessiah trots out his 90% line while hoping people don&#039;t notice that he himself &quot;voted with Bush&quot; 40% of time.  Only the most partisan of Democrats believes that everything Bush does is wrong (Bush Derangement Syndrome) and everybody else realizes that the Bush administration is coming to an end no matter who wins.  There&#039;s a reason why Bush has higher approval ratings than the Democrat led Congress.

Finally, change is not synonymous with improvement.</description>
