RACE

Inexperience

6. Isn't that code for liberal though? You know, Latte drinking liberal elitist.
BTW This hard working white Democrat has never drank a Latte. Can any of my fellow liberals tell me what I am missing?

I take my coffee black.

5. Guilt by association. Obama will be held responsible for the words
of any radical that he has ever been in the same room with. Meanwhile, McCain could become best friends with Fred Phelps and we wouldn't hear a word about it.

8. they won't NEED 'race'
Alll they need to do is wait for ONE TEENSY comment they can blow out of proportion like they did with Dean and he'll be toast.

9. They'll try to keep the Rev. Wright thing alive...
... "he sat in the pews for twenty years", and they'll claim that rolling back some of Bush's tax giveaways to the wealthiest taxpayers is going to be "the biggest tax increase in history".

I don't think it will work all that well. Put Obama and McCain next to each other, or even just their photos. Compare and contrast. A youthful, vibrant candidate vs. a guy in his 70s. I'm not trying to be ageist, or claim that a 72 year old is incapable of leading because of how old he is. I'm just pointing out the obvious.

It's something that could be used against McCain, if done carefully & subtly. I know this is fiction, but I'm reminded of the Doctor Who episode where The Doctor ruins Harriet Jones' political career with only six words: "Don't you think she looks tired?"

10. Race, Islam, Liberalism, Ayers, Wright, Inexperience, Hamas
All of that and more. But Barack is ready to kick some elephant ass.

11. LOL, I hear that. Hopefully the American people are getting tired of this shit. Especially since
most of us are broke now, can't affort to go to the doctor when we are sick, and are paying damn near 4 dollars a gallon for gasoline.

People amaze me most of the time.

The one thing in life I know for sure is this: The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing the same way and expect a different result.

I pray like hell this country has had enough already.
