Pretty soon McCain will realize that Palin, while awesome at solidifying conservatives behind the most far-right major party ticket since Goldwater, isn't doing a great job of wooing independents and Democrats. And if McCain doesn't significantly cut into Obama's numbers with indies and dems, he's screwed.

Bush won in 2004 without Democrats and Indies. Bush 2004 and McCain 2008 are all about turning out the fundie base.

I guess people like the economy.

McCain being a third Bush term is simply a false statement.  I mean, even if he tried to be a third Bush term, he couldn't be one, just because of the large majority the Democrats will have in congress.  If he truly was another Bush term, I don't think I would be able to support him.

You mean the ones that have completely failed to stand up to Bush? I'm sure they'll stand up to a more popular McCain when he pushes for the same extreme agenda.

He's been a deficit hawk his entire career and has never requested any type of wasteful spending. Yet, you believe that he will be the same big spender like Bush. Why? Do you just watch the Democrat talking points and believe them?

The war in Iraq is costing $10 billion a month.

Yes, he proposes more tax cuts for all Americans. The rich pay the most taxes, so yes, they'll get the most back. I guess if you believe in redistributing the wealth, you'd disagree with this policy. Besides, with Democrat majorities, he won't be able to get this done. Obama has said he won't be rolling back the tax cuts either until the economy turns around, so it's moot.

Obama has more tax cuts for most Americans, and yet, unlike McCain's tax cut, it will have little impact on the national debt.

LOL. You think Obama will reduce the debt when he proposes billions in new spending? The truth is neither side will reduce the deficit.

You just called McCain a deficit hawk.

It was Bush's fault that Enron and Worldcom went bankrupt? Those things were going on during Clinton's final years and broke a year after Bush took office. High regulation on industries will just hinder growth. There's a reason why other nations are outpacing us in economic growth.

Stupidity lead to the current crisis. People making $50,000 a year shouldn't be buying $800,000 homes. Maybe put some warning in there, but it isn't Bush's fault that this stuff happened. Ban ARM's if we need to.

I hope not.

Reagan is to blame for deregulating these things. We had the same sort of problems back when McCain was having his Keating Five scandal. Hmm, who is going to do more to fix the problem, Obama or Mr. Keating Five?

For some reason I was thinking of the same.

What a comeback by McCain, to be down double digits.
