McCain should win in landslide. Obama turning out to be a lightweight.

McCain is the first GOP candidate with a mean streak and who is willing to take it to the Socialists.

He will have Obama crying before its over.

John McCain has accused Barack Obama of “cowboy diplomacy” over free trade that threatened to undermine relations with Canada and reverse the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

The Republican presidential candidate made the attack before heading to Ottawa on Friday for a speech championing the virtues of free trade.

Mr McCain said Mr Obama was wrong to have argued that Nafta had “devastating” consequences for US communities. “What truly would be devastating is to jeopardise the trade expansion of Nafta through a misguided, isolationist impulse that would inevitably and understandably alienate a key partner like Canada.”

Mr Obama acknowledged this week that the rhetoric on free trade had become “overheated and amplified” during the primaries and appeared to back away from his threat to renegotiate Nafta unilaterally. “I’m not a big believer in doing things unilaterally,” he told Fortune magazine.

In his speech to business leaders in Ottawa, Mr McCain promised to lead an “outward-looking America”.

“Demanding unilateral changes and threatening to abrogate an agreement that has increased trade and prosperity is nothing more than retreating behind protectionist walls,” he said, without mentioning Mr Obama by name.

The Arizona senator noted that Canada was the biggest US export market and that two-way trade across the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Canada was equal to all US exports to Japan. But he warned that the costs of complying with Nafta rules and regulations threatened to become the equivalent of a tariff.

Obama is an empty suit. Except for his Marxist ideals, that is.

I’ll take that bet. They’re hasn’t been a real landslide election since Reagan. But, judging by every poll I’ve seen, see:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html

…every historical comparison, see:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11090.html

…and judging by the HUGE financial advantage Obama possesses, example:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/10868.html

…I think it will be quite the opposite. There is a sea change coming in this country, and one lesson conservatives are not learning is that in times of great economic upheaval, calling candidates liberals or socialists doesn’t hurt them. It helps them.

Personally, after watching for the last decade what completlely unfettered capitalism brought us in the mortgage and financial markets, I’ll be welcoming a little socialism.

My prediction? Obama 300+ electoral win come November 4th.
