Maybe the Obama oversaturation will backfire against him, though I wouldn't count on it. I think we should all buckle our seat belts for the full blown liberalism experiment, especially if they get 60 in the senate. If they screw it up enough, the pendulum may swing back in 2010 and 2012.<BR/><BR/>While I've always been a free-market thinker, can this really be good for elections? <BR/><BR/><BR/>Absolutely absurdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-69741815852814054322008-10-11T17:57:00.000-04:002008-10-11T17:57:00.000-04:00@rae:Here is why you (might) care.Lengthy, but wor...@rae:<BR/>Here is why you (might) <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaE98w1KZ-c" REL="nofollow">care</A>.<BR/>Lengthy, but worth it.<BR/>Had I ludicrous money to burn, I should pay to have that on national TV the day after we receive the post-modernist steamer from a certain Senator.smitty1ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559464300318848169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-45552401949695279972008-10-11T13:06:00.000-04:002008-10-11T13:06:00.000-04:00But here's what I don't understand.

Af the beginning of September, the outlook was that McCain + RNC (including the $84 mil federal funds) was roughly equivalent to Obama + DNC + what Obama could still raise (- the cost of raising it). Even if McCain couldn't match Obama 1:1, he would have enough to fight. What was wrong with that analysis? Is the gap apparent from Sept. 28 - Oct. 4 going to last until the election, or is McCain/RNC holding something back?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-21586208226713426772008-10-11T10:45:00.000-04:002008-10-11T10:45:00.000-04:00You know, I've found myself not caring at all anym...You know, I've found myself not caring at all anymore. Not that I intended on voting for either of them, but I really didn't want Obama.<BR/><BR/>But at this point, I can hardly tell the difference between them. (Big Government vs. Bigger Government.) McCain could have won this thing had he campaigned against the No Banker Left Behind Bailout, but <I>noooo</I>.<BR/><BR/>So let Barry have it, I say. The neocons deserve the punishment. Besides, you'd have to be insane to want to be president with this economy. <BR/><BR/>BO's presidency will be a disaster.<BR/><BR/>At this point, the GOP really should give up on McCain and put all its resources into the Congressional races, because Congress is far more important than the presidency. <BR/><BR/>And since McCain is a lost cause, I hope all conservatives and libertarians will join me in sending a strong message to the GOP by voting for <A HREF="http://www.bobbarr2008.com/home/skip/?s=0618" REL="nofollow">Bob Barr</A>. (<--Please donate!)<BR/><BR/>Besides, the election will be such a drubbing for McCain, it'll make it look better for conservatism/libertarianism if Barr takes double digits, and it won't look like Obama won such a mandate.<BR/><BR/>(And WTH didn't C. Buckley endorse Barr, I ask ya? Some "libertarian" he is. He's pinning it all on the Hope that Barry won't make the Changes he claims? Was he adopted, or dropped on his head as a baby, or something?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
