I think the odds are 70-30 that Obama wins, (unfortunately)

Honestly, the Supreme Court is the biggest thing that gives me pause and makes my decision unmade at this point. Why didn't some of them retire while Bush was in office if we're so worried about that?

True enough, you did.
Now if Boanerge will weigh-in with a statement about my question ... We will know what he thinks of the negative side of these candidates.

Although I gotta admit, the SCOTUS retirement ... While possible ... Would have been met with opposition that could have possibly left the positions vacant until after the swearing in of a new President anyway ... So, I don't know if that would have helped.

If it had happened in the last two years, I agree with you. We wouldn't have gotten anywhere. One or two should've retired shortly after Bush got elected to his second term for it to be at all useful.

The truth is that Obama's financial plans (according to his website) will do MORE damage to the average American, financially, than those of McCain. His windfall profits taxation and healthcare plans are things we cannot afford...plain and simple.

The current failures and bailouts were caused by actions of members of BOTH parties. Both Rs and D's in Congress were receiveing huge campaign contrbutions from these banks and Freddie and Fannie...do some research.

Will the electorate see these truths?

I hope so...but who knows.

McCain is in serious trouble. Here is why...

RealClearPolitics - Election 2008 - Colorado: McCain vs. Obama

As I mentioned previously, Colorado will most likely be the state that decides the election. As you can see, the last two polls have Obama ahead in a traditionally red state.

However, the good thing for McCain is that the most recent New Hampshire poll has him now pulling ahead of Obama. McCain has a history of pulling off miracles in the granite state. If he does it again AND loses Colorado (assuming the other toss-up states stay where they are leaning), it will result in a TIE in the electoral college that I discussed earlier!!!

This is getting pretty interesting. The electoral college projections haven't been this close in years. Not even in 2000.

The debates are going to be VERY important this time.

THAT is your only chance to keep Obama out of the White House. McCain-Palin is close and every $$$ helps in a BIG way. So put your money where your mouth is and donate something. $20 helps. $200 helps more. $2,300 helps to the max. If you have never donated, start NOW!!

It is not too late.

That's what America's about now, the one with the most money wins. Unfortunately that means most taxpayers will lose, once again.

It doesn't have to be that way. Dig down deep and send in $$$. It's not too late.

Quite frankly it has always been about money and power. It will always be about money and power. That is the essence of politics. It is about power and money makes power.

It is like the spring thaw. Every drop of water from the melted ice contributes to the flow which as it comes to gether forms a massive flood that sweeps everything before it away.

ACT now!!

Let's see... Do I give my next house payment to some rich bastard who's gonna continue to screw me or do I make my house payment so I can keep my house? DUH! We pay those buttholes a salary, let's see them live on it the way the American people have to.

Take the screwing and keep Obama out of the White House. You'll be better off for it in the long run.

You can actually delete your own posts. I think you click on edit and then there is a checkbox for delete post.
