Here's to hoping the mic he speaks with at the convention doesn't give off the impression he's screaming. :p

Interesting,so does this mean you have someone else planned to be the Democratic nominee in 2012? Or will Obama not be seen as a traitor of sorts by the Democratic Party?

MCCAIN PULLS STUNNER CHOOSES ROMNEY AS VP PICK


In a move of unity John McCain chose Mitt Romney runner up of the Republican primaries as his running mate.

The pick was made hoping that it would unite the party for November's general.
 
No, Obama will pick Lieberman as his running mate and help to deadlock the EC and the Senate will pick Lieberman and the House will pick McCain:p:p
 
September 5th 2008:
FIRST POLLS RELEASED CLINTON LEADS BY a point with Obama at 8%

A new CNN poll came out today showing the Clinton/Dean ticket leading the McCain/Romney ticket 38% to 37% and with the Indpendent ticket of Obama/Lieberman at 8%

If Obama can get 10% or more he can get into the the 4 Presidental debates this fall.

MCCAIN: I WILL DISTRACT FROM THE PRESIDENT ON THIS CAMPAIGN.

In a campaign rally in Reno Nevada a key bellweather state John McCain took a pledge saying that he would run his campaign without the help of President Bush or any other of the current adminstarion.

"I want to tell people that I am not the same from President Bush and that I am different from my oppenent Senator Clinton and Obama!"
 
SEPTEMBER 28th 2008:
FIRST PRESIDENTAL DEBATE IN THE BOOKS. VIEWER's RESPONCE IS A DRAW:

Senator McCain, Clinton and Obama squared off in the first Presidental debate.

The main topic being the financial crisis going on. Senator McCain while in the primaries saying he would keep the Bush Tax Cuts is now criticizing it calling out his opponent Clinton for supporting it. Even though fact checking sites have shown they both did.

Obama the Indpendent candidate gave his view which differed from the other two.

Obama also called out the McCain and Clinton saying that if they where to be elected that they would cling on to their Wall Street buddies like what's with President Bush.

Another topic was foreign policy.

McCain and Obama agreed to try to find a end for the Iraq War ASAP while calling out senator Clinton for wanting to continue the war and with Obama criticizing McCain and Clinton for wanting to invade Iran.

The debate in a NBC poll was seen mostly as a draw with the current national polling also being tied.

OBAMA DECLARES INDPENDENT RUN.

Runner up of the Democratic primaries Barack Obama senator from Illinois has declared a self funded Indpendent run after saying he was cheated out of the nommination.

Not in a million years. Leaving aside the problems of getting on the ballot as an independent when you decide that late, this would just make Obama seen as a "spoiler" and "traitor to the party"--especially since he didn't really have any great ideological differences with HRC. (Yes, he was against the Iraq war earlier--but how can he take advantage of that if he names a super-hawk like Lieberman as running mate?) He is still young enough that he can easily run for president in 2012 if HRC loses in 2008 (which must have seemed a fairly good possibility before the fall of Lehman Brothers) or even 2016 if she wins. Meanwhile he has a safe Senate seat. As of September 1, McCain would seem certain to win a three-way race--all he needs is the GOP base vote. (In fact, that would be enough for him even after the financial crisis began.) So Obama is going into a race where the odds are heavily against him, and which will make him hated by his party and probably destroy his political future? It just makes no sense--whatever else may be said of him, he is not a reckless gambler.
