OT: McCain Victory No Longer Unikely

[quote=jficquette]Partypup,

On a side note. This putting the coal industry out of business comment should hurt Obama in Penn, Ohio because they mine a lot of coal there.

John, I personally didn’t take issue with Obama’s statement based on the facts, as his position is somewhat similar to McCain’s. I think what unnerved me was the casual way in which he talked about power plants having to go bankrupt as a result of the emissions caps. Because each time a plant goes out of business, someone loses a job. And the sense I get from this guy is that, despite all his rainbows and warm and fuzzy decals, he just doesn’t care if your company goes bust. He was kind of dispassionate, almost professorial, about it, like he was commenting on a research paper. Much the same way that he casually noted that his beloved Aunt Zeituni would have to pack her bags and get going if she were in the U.S. illegally. Now, no one would expect him to excuse her crime or to make an exception for her, but a little empathy or some emotion would seem to be in order. Take a page from Biden — get choked up, wipe your eyes, do something. Get teary and bite your lower lip like Slick Willy used to. But don’t just sit there like an Ivy League robot and tell someone that their life is about to go to crap, so long, its been nice having you as an aunt and including you as a compelling character arc in my memoir. I suppose if it’s not on a teleprompter, he just doesn’t get it and can’t fake it. There’s a wee bit of sociopath in Obama that disturbs me. McCain is senile, but Obama is just creepy.

A very sad choice for any American to have to make.

Partypup,

I don’t think McCain is senile. I say that because the sense of humor is the first thing to go when senility hits and McCain has a great wit. He was very funny imitating Barbara Streisand and was funny on SNL the other nite. Maybe you did not really meant senile in the clincal sense.

He seems to have a ton of energy and showed during the debates that he is very clever and is good at finding weaknesses in his oppenent.

72 is not that old anymore. Maybe that’s because I am already 54 LOL.

Plus, his daughter claims he likes 9 inch nails (g).

What has he learned from Rove, toss everyone under the bus?

Partypup I too am fascinated by the whole PUMA thing and little it’s been covered. One of the sites actually had people donating last minute funds to run anti-messiah ads in swing states.

Very good analysis here, and I think you are correct the tightening is occuring. Also you shed on a topic I hadn’t given much thought to, and that is the massive Hillary turnout when the race was considered all but over. Why would so many waste their time? I understand a few hardcore types doing it, but pulling upset wins?

I guarantee you if for some reason O loses, he is done with national politics. Weren’t there a couple of media types questioning at the time why Hillary won some of the last couple of primaries? They never really did go into it much or I should give us any depth on the topic. It’s been a big lovefest since the nomination but very little in the way of tough questions.

If I know the media like I think I do, they’ll start to grill him some from tomorrow until the inauguration. At some point he’ll have to take some stands that will either show him to the center-right like William Jefferson (Dick Morris years), or where I think he’ll govern from… the left. Remember he has to answer to the Howard Dean/Pelosi/Reid contingency who helped “steal this from Hillary” according to the PUMAs. He’ll have majorities in Congress, and the mandate will be said to govern from the left.
