President Barack Obama!
 
We may have to get used to hearing those terrible words.

To me, its a scary thought, that this man could be elected President of The United States less than 9 months from now. But it's starting to look more and more likely.

Latest poll numbers have Obama leading McCain by an average of 4.5%.
Interestingly, polls show McCain beating Hillary, but losing to Obama.

I know polls can't always be relied on, but when 6 out of 7 major national polls have Obama winning, that's something we shouldn't totally ignore.

God help America if this ultra-liberal/socialist becomes president.


John McCain (R) vs. Barack Obama (D)

And lets not forget the flags of Communist hero Che Guevara in Obama's Houston campaign office.

I'm amazed the media hasn't given this story more attention. Hopefully McCain will during the campaign.

Do you still feel the same way considering the Che Guevara pictures/flags in his campaign office?

Simple fact is, there is no reason for the Dems to loose this election.

the ONLY thing that should be in Baraks way is his skin color. Or if it is Hillary, her gender.

It appears that as a nation, we might have moved past that bigotry which is a good thing.

But as it relates to this election cycle, we have never elected a president from the same party as a sitting president with an approval rating below 45%.

It simply is an insurmountable hill to climb.

It appears thatObama is about to be handed 4 years to do his deal. Lets just pray the dammage isnt too great.

Yup. I fear that 2008 with McCain is a replay of 1996 with Bob Dole. An elderly Senator who has a history of being a moderate and therefore has no wing of the party excited.

The disappointment and lack of enthusiasm for the Republican nominee is evident in the lackluster turnout among Republicans in the primaries vs. the extraordinarily high turnout for Democrats.

I believe two of the keys to the outcome of the election will be;

1. Can Obama translate the tremendous enthusiasm among young people into actually getting them to show up and vote. Every four years the Dems say so but never deliver.

2. Will enough sensible Republicans and Independents realize what a disaster Obama or Hillary would be for America and work through the malaise to make the effort to vote for McCain.

TR, while I dont know if DA is serious, I do know that Che doesnt make the rank and file democrat's stomach turn.

He is one of them. just a little more dangerous.

The the skin color thing is less and less of an issue today. But maybe his inexperience is a good reason for him to lose (not to mention his ultra liberal views being out of touch with much of middle America).

I mean, would you give the keys to your Mercedes to someone who just got their drivers license yesterday?

The regional office of a political party and it's decor is not not necessarily representative of the candidate ...

Are there pictures of Robert E. Lee in the offices of politicos in South Carolina? There are confederate flags for sure.

Or pictures of David Duke and Strom Thurman in a Republican office.

Let's be real.
