Yes I know, and I was wrong. I made the call for McCain in January, a lot transpired since then that I never could have imagined. I stuck with him to the end, not being a big believer in poll accuracy. turns out they were.

The Wall-Street-Gone-Wild-Bush-Cheney-Economic-Meltdown was the final nail in McCain's coffin.

Hell, the dem's could've thrown a DaHoss9698-Morty ticket out there and still prevailed in this election cycle. lol

So far down even your Petey ending threads won't save his sorry behind.

You should be proud that YOUR state senator has risen to the highest post in all of the world. His ascension mirrors that of the GREATEST President ever... right down to the state affiliation.

you assume way too much. your hypothetical assumption that I would vote against McCain if he were a Democrat leaves out who the Republican would be running against him. I would have no trouble voting for McCain as a Democrat if say the Republican nominee were Huckabee. I would have voted for Hillary Clinton before Huckabee. Obama vs. Huckabee would have left me no choice but to blow my brains out.

Rooting for the home team is not my style in politics. I'm in it for the principles, not to get free stuff or to say "hey, our local guy won". Are you proud of all politicians from your neck of the woods irrespective of their policies?

SportyFans....I have come to find that all know-it-nones like to throw out innocuous blabs and then say..."lol."

HELLS no. I'm a New Yorker through and through but the red tape in this state has really got me hot and bothered lately. I didn't even get to vote because of it. http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=28

I understand your discounting of Huckabee. He was too right for even the most conservative Republicans. Where does Obama fall down from a policy perspective for you? Don't tell me taxes... because I'm 100% sure you don't make enough money to have it hurt you (as do 98% of the population).

So you know, for full disclosure, I was a Hillary supporter but I would have voted for Obama (if given the chance)- the decision being made when Palin was selected as McCain's VP (which HAD to be taken into account given his age and health). McCain on a standalone basis, while I disagree with his anti-gambling policies and military stance, he'd have been a fine leader of this great country. If it was Edwards vs. McCain, McCain would have gotten my vote. Financially, he'd have made more sense for me. But Obama really reminds me of what I've read about Lincoln. Please do your best to stand behind him and not take a radical right stance against that the world is over.

Comparing Lincoln to Obama is like comparing a Ferrari to a Volkswagon

If you lived in Lincoln's time you would have been plotting his assassination.

I thought she looked SEXY in her business suit.

Actually, I was looking forward to 4 more years of Billy in the White House!

GBBob · #57 11-05-2008, 01:32 PM

I still think McCain/Romney defeats or is a lot closer vs Obama/Clinton

Romney would have been a positive from an economic background standpoint, Palin negativity would have been neutrailized and there is a lot of hatred for anything Clinton that Biden didn't have to overcome
