So are you trying to say he isnt going to do what he says? Like that is a big supprise. But on the other hand if you think Obamma is gonna do this country any good then you really are Grammstanding

think about 2000 with a popular Democratic president and good economy and a solid VP running for president. Why did they put up Bush? And why did they fight so hard? Because, you don't ever throw a game. And they're not going to throw this one.

McCain won't be the nominee.

By August, they'll have done something to try and pick away at Obama's popularity. They'll emphasis race, or whatever they can to get him to appear less than perfect. Then, they'll bring out of the woodwork a surprise candidate who can shift the story fast. With just two months before the election -- the new candidate will have little time to be 'vetted' but will be shiny and new, and will get a lot of media attention as Obama's newness will have become -- by then -- tarnished or at least no longer the surprise that it has been as he unseated Hillary.

So, who will be the Republican candidate that faces Obama in the fall?

I've spoken to a number of friends who -- when presented with this set of facts respond: "but they don't have anybody else." That's simply not the case.

Joe Trippi, campaign consultant and most notably Howard Dean's campaign manager, said of McCain dropping out: "While crazy, this may be the best shot they have."

There are a whole list of Republicans who in many ways are more likely to energize the Republican base. One thing is certain -- there are candidates that will play to the core issues in ways that McCain simply can't.

Is this supposition? Sure, but one grounded with enough history and observation to take it beyond conjecture and into the realm of the possible

What is GRAMMSTANDING??
Are you trying to say GRANDSTANDING??
If so, what candidate would not be GRANDSTANDING
at this time in the 2008 election year.

Here's Obama!

I read he was Caucasian-Arab American because of his blood-line.

But possibly made a mistake when they spelt his name.
If it's O'bama
.... then maybe he is Irish!


could be!

Cagedvoter; You don't make sense on any blog you post on.......are you talking to yourself??Geez give us all a break and figure out WHAT YOU ARE SAYING before you start typing.....you know put your brain in gear before you start your computer.

Bijou, i make great sense, I have never ever copied another blogger. It may have been me! I rant and rave, and attempt share a different message on a number of blogs. This just happens to be me on this site! So now is the time where you stop the ice cream truck and get a blow pop! Don't blame the "aims" test either!

So you want change:

Two years ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummeted;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.00 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is over 5% (a 13% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) A little over 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
7) We are now importing over 40% of the oil we need from the Middle East.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember, it's Congress that makes law not the President.
He has to work with what's handed to him.

Thank you for the CHANGE Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

You are putting me on aren't you? No wonder your "caged".

This "DO NOTHING" Congress has the lowest approval rating ever. Last I saw, it was at 12%. That's 10 percentage point (or more) lower than this president's which you obviously hate.

This Congress has given new meaning to the phrase "Witch Hunt". The darling Democrats want to investigate and/or demonize every Republican that they can. They haven't got the time for talking about constructive/positive legislation.

Their latest ideas on how to solve the high oil prices are the laughing stock of the world. I just came back from Europe and my friends and I had quite a few chuckles on our Congress' antics and ideas.

I'm glad you love the "change" that they've shown us. I, personally, am appalled by it.

If you want to defend them, fine. But please tell us what positive legislation have they passed that wasn't chock full of "pork barrel spending?"

The Economy was purring along just fine until this Congress took over. It's been downhill ever since.

Also, so you understand, I am lumping Republicans and the Independents along with the Democrats when I use the word Congress.

ps: I also am retired and living on Social Security. So don't tell me I'm too young to remember.

Very convenient to blame Bush. It's also very Left Wing.

Let's see. Gas must have been $1.00 a gallon when George W. Bush took office. That would explain a 400% increase.

Is that Accurate RD? Was gas $1.00 a gallon in January, 2001?

Fact: Gasoline averaged $1.52/gallon in January, 2001. George Bush takes office.

Fact: Gasoline averaged $2.33/ gallon in January, 2006. Democrats take control of Congress. Increase: 53.2% in 6 years or 72 months.

Fact: Gasoline now averages $4.07/gallon today. 268% increase since Jan., 2001 or 90 months. A 175% increase since Jan., 2006 or 18 months.
