About a fifth of Clinton and Obama supporters now say they wouldn’t vote for the other candidate in the general election. Meanwhile, on the other side, voters get an unobstructed view of the Republican nominee. John McCain’s approval ratings have soared 11 points. He is now viewed positively by 67 percent of Americans.

This is exactly what chaos in the Dem party will achieve.
A GOP victory in Nov.
The really tasty thing is that they are doing it to themselves.
Pass the popcorn.

The funny thing is that this shouldn't even be a contest.
Every indication points to a Dem landslide.
The only thing preventing this are the Dems themselves.
Oh well, all that SuperDelegate thing sounded like a good idea at the time, but is proving to be a disaster...just like most of their domestic and foreign policies.

If they can't even conduct their simple primary, why should we trust them with the greatest nation on earth?

Yep, gives me a really good feeling about them taking over our $300 Billion a year Health Care Industry as well.
Sleep well, knowing that your kid's health is safe with this bunch.

Heh. My kids are insured by the State of Hawaii's foster care program.

It's MY health that is uninsured!

If the election were in May I'd be worried. But with McCain's comments about the economy and his closeness to Bush I think the Dems will come on strong come November.

If you remember, just 7 months ago Rudy was the front runner. With 7 months to go I'm not to concerned 'bout McCain. 67% by October with a fifth of Democrats not willing to vote for our candidate, then I'll worry.

It was theirs to lose, and they seem to be doing just that.

Then again, they want to lose in Iraq, so maybe they just like being losers.

Considering how our economy is losing; housing prices have lost more then in the last 30 years; our prestige around the world has lost; and Bush is approaching recorded setting losing poll numbers; well I don't think the Dems are the losers of the 21st Century.

Maybe McCain will be prosecuted for violation of federal campaign finance laws and save either of the Dem's from having to debate him.

Hey, I can dream.

*sigh* yeah, I know, it ain't gonna happen.

I really don't have a problem with it. I have a feeling the "real" shit is going to hit the fan in the next 3-5 years and those responsible for the shit should be there to mop it up.....
