Wow, these Ayers attacks are really taking a toll on Obama. Clearly they're working. Americans need to hear more./ Republican stupidity

Keep up with the Ayers attack McCain, you reprehensible smear peddling bastard - your rhetoric my inspire cross burnings and mid-rally circle jerks to Mein Kampf, but you will get your diaper-wearing ass handed to you on Nov 4th because of it motherfucker. Oh Cindy, that "Chill" you felt up your spine, its called "withdrawal" baby.

Do we have any poli-sci profs on here already working on their spring semester class "How NOT to Save Your Failing Campaign"?

Short of withdrawing now, is there anything McCain could be doing to tarnish his campaign and image more?

For those who are "scared" or are thinking of buying a gun because of the thuggishness of the McCain/Palin mob, please grow a pair and realize:

THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE SCARED!

Scared of losing.

They were promised a permanent Republican majority. But they saw their president fall to the depths of unpopularity. They are seeing their candidate struggling to find some way to beat this upstart. They react with misplaced anger (guided by the ones they should be angry at).

Quit your crying. Stand up, fight for a landslide.

That sound you hear is the feet of millions of independent voters who, appalled at McCain's tactics and, are now running away from him as fast as they can.

have they no direction? This from Rick Davis:

"There’s very little a candidate for president can say and very little the president can say about what’s happening in the stock markets except hope that they correct themselves," Davis said, adding that McCain's mortgage plan could be an "elixir" for the financial crisis.

"I can’t imagine a situation where on a daily basis the campaign would put out a statement about what the market was doing," he said. "It doesn’t meant that we don’t care and aren’t trying to do something about it."

For the first time in this entire election cycle, I'm now feeling some confidence that Obama will win this thing; these poll numbers are sigh-of-relief inducing.

Time, perhaps, to start thinking more carefully about exactly what kind of Presidency Obama's will be, and one of the underplayed, yet quite relevant variables is generational. As numerous experts have pointed out, Obama (and Palin) are members of Generation Jones--born 1954 to 1965, between the Boomers and Xers.

I strongly recommend a new video which has a ton of top pundits (e.g. Clarence Page, David Brooks, Karen Tumulty, Howard Wolfson, Michael Barone, Dick Morris, etc.) discussing the fact that Obama is a Joneser, and the surprisingly large role of GenJones in this election...the video is 5 minutes and at the top of this page:

We're very close to the "Bozo and the Ozone Man" moment, when McCain finally loses it, and the fatal words come out of his mouth, in a public setting, on tape. Then you can stick a fork in that turkey, 'cause he'll be done.

What matters is the poll. If the poll of all polls show double digit, which seems to be likely as we near the election day, that will only end McCain's evil path and dream of grabbing power through violence. Will he then remain unrepentant for choosing the road of violence like he claims Ayers to be? Or, will he suffer the guilt silently until he is burned in hell?

As a Minnesotan I couldn't help but notice that the McCain's are so out of touch that they let Cindy wear Viking purple at a Wisconsin event. That's why the rubes were yelling treason.

Americans (particularly independent/moderate Americans) LOVE negative attacks. It makes it easier for them to decide who they're going to VOTE AGAINST. McCain is a fool, and he has fools running his campaign, and they're all going to be fools AND losers soon enough.

John McCain and Sarah Palin '08--FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!

Triumph

John Kerry's letter to supporters:

"John McCain has shown a stunning failure of leadership. His campaign, in a time of economic crisis and foreign policy drift, has degenerated into a negative and nasty campaign of smears.

The reports are piling up of ugliness at the campaign rallies of John McCain and Sarah Palin. Audience members hurl insults and racial epithets, call out "Kill Him!" and "Off With His Head," and yell "treason" when Senator Obama's name is mentioned. I strongly condemn language like this which can only be described as hate-filled.

According to reports, every ad paid for by the John McCain campaign is now a negative ad -- every single one! McCain allows his running mate to make outrageous charges that only a few years ago would have disqualified someone from serious consideration for national office.

We cannot stand by and allow this to happen. We need to fight back, spread the word about what kind of low campaign he's running, and make sure people know the truth."

Same John Kerry who considered making McCain his running mate in 2004. What a fall from grace. By the time this is over, they'll be a special hallway closet that McCain and Liebermann participate in the senate from.

Congressional Republicans won't touch McCain's economic plan either. McCain has become like kryptonite. What a leader.

Obama opens a double-digit lead in new NEWSWEEK poll

. . . Barack Obama now leads John McCain by double digits, 52 percent to 41 percent among likely voters—a marked shift from the last Newsweek poll, conducted one month ago, when the two candidates were tied at 46 percent.

(We've known this for awhile, but it is nice to have this poll as an added confirmation.)
