I don't think Palin was the downfall. I just didn't like all the mudslinging ads they let air about Obama. If you think you're the better candidate, why not concentrate on what you yourself would do, instead of implying your opponent is a terrorist?

Because the McCain campaign is in real trouble.
The only way to pull the election out is to scare
the crap out of people.

Historical observation: US voters have elected three sitting members of Congress to serve as their president: Garfield, Harding, and Kennedy. None lived to complete his term with two being assassinated. Harding had what most historians agree as the most corrupt presidency ever. History does not suggest that either McCain or Obama will offer great leadership and, therefore, will serve only one term.

history also suggests they may be assassinated also which would be much worse for them then losing the election in 2012

this is unbelievably weak logic.

obama may serve 1 term but if that occurs it will have everything to do with events in the future and nothing to do with this nonsensical voodoo.

he has 5 letters in his last name like nixon. i guess that means he'll probably have to resign to avoid impeachment.

This is why the CIA is ready to go into action.

So McCain dies of old age, Palin is taken out by the CIA, and we end up with Pelosi?????

Or Obama dies from lung cancer (he is a smoker) or is killed in office, Biden dies from old age, and we end up with Pelosi?????
