I'm sorry, does McCain not also believe we should stay in Iraq until we've beaten the “Terrorists”? There is no reason to stay there at this point. We are only delaying the inevitable.

While perhaps Romney would have been a much better fit for the Bush Reloaded we've got McCain. At least McCain doesn't believe in torture, and he might do something about the influence of lobbyists, both huge on my agenda, so will Obama. PLUS he intends to get us the hell out of Iraq, the sooner the better. Let that country go thru its final spasms of violence, and then we deal with whats left. Then we can go about trying to clean the stain on our country that was the unnecessary invasion of Iraq.

DLS, it would be easier to believe you are “smarter” than any of them if you didn't stoop to calling them “idiots” in your post. Your point would much more relevant if you didn't have to demean your opposition while claiming the high road.

The hyperventilating over the state of the election This Hour, Minute, or Second is tiresome.

Only idiots believe the nonsense that McCain (often acting more like a Dem than a Republican) is a Bush clone or seeks continuation of the Bush years. Guess who they'll be voting for instead.

I'm smarter than any of them merely by imagining myself as another Mark Helprin ("Let Dole Lead") and stooping to cobble together words that don't belong in any political ad, article in the Wall Street Journal, or read by Rush Limbaugh, but even if so, would be better than the stupid Bush-bashing.

Glad Obama supporters really hold on to that whole “change” rhetoric with jabs like Bush Reloaded and McSame.

Yep, I think any polling at this time is pretty meaningless. We've got a whole summer ahead of us, & we have not even seen Barack & McSame really start to tangle mano-y-mano yet.

Wait till November. Obama just got out of the hardest fought primary in recent memory. After America gets to see him standing next to Bush Reloaded on stage for a few months its not going to be a dead heat for long.

I'm impressed by how swiftly top Clinton supporters have backed Obama. Judging by the pro-Hillary bloggers at MyDD, it looks like many rank-and-file supporters are moving to Obama too; those HRC supporters at MyDD were hardcore too.

It will be interesting to see the language Clinton uses to back Obama on Saturday. Her letter to her own backers shows she is unambiguous about her endorsement. Let's see what that looks like on Saturday.
