The problems for McCain go even deeper than the economy of which is not his strong point at all.

McCain looks weak and fragile and instead of picking a VP we could all feel good with, he chose a radical VP in Sara Palin. Noone can feel secure knowing she may be president. Sure she looks good but that is only a plus in a beauty contest, not on the presidential campaign trail.

McCain cannot get out from under his idolizing of Bush throughout these last 7 years.

He brings up Obama's associations but he has some skeletons in his closet that Obama has been a better man than bring out.

McCain tries to go on his record but it is not in his favor. He is not for women's rights and would over turn the rights they have fought for and Palin will too. He has voted against his brethren vets on many occasions, 23 I believe. He is a part of the party that has been in control the last 8 years and LOOK WHERE WE ARE NOW!

And most important for me, he is pro more war. I want the troops out of Iraq, finish up in Afghan and we need them home.

So now you know why he is the underdog. The only reason he will win is if we have more racists in this country than normal folks. My opinion of course.

My dad was never a racist and I am not either. One of the reasons I split with the Ex was as that she is a racist.

My dad used to say about African Americans that they have to be 10 times better than the whites to get the equal job. And he was so sad about that fact.

Lets give democrats a lead of +10 points over and above the polling error to get them there to sort out the mess.

I don't do politics just a humble memory of my dad

I felt a little chill the other day when I heard McCain say something along the lines of you never know what might happen between now and election day.

Why do I feel like something really awful might happen?

An attack on the U.S. perhaps?

I truly hope no matter what the election does happen and that we as a country can move forward no matter what the result.

Your dad was very right. Because racism still exists here in this country black folks are subjected to it more often than any white person can ever imagine.

You see it at the McCain/Palin rallies. It is the anger and hatred that resonates there.

If we have an attack now after 7 years of none, we will all know it is a set up. That is for sure.

McCain is simply not presidential. His debate performance is an embarrassment.

"The McCain campaign, once merely problematic, is now close to being out-and-out dysfunctional. Its combination of strategic incoherence and operational incompetence has become toxic."
