If Obama came even close to any of these bumbling, confused,, clueless, dishonest performances, he would not only no longer be a candidate for president, he would probably be forced to resign from his senate seat. This is a disgrace.
I'd be content with a minor stroke, just enough to slur his speech and make him droopier. I think that would be enough to convince some people not to vote for him. Maybe not to vote fr Obama, but to just abstain from voting.
Part of me is still very concerned. It seems like this is less a discussion about John McCain at this point, and more a referendum on Obama... and there are a lot of people that have their own reasons why they don't like the guy. (Most of which are quite stupid...)
Of course, if you look at state-by-state polling, Obama is actually eating McCain's lunch:
Yeah, for how completely inadequate the McCain campaign has been, they have done a good job of turning Obama's positives into negatives or at least question marks. Just a question of whether their ploys work, like making a world tour that McCain challenged him to take into a damning show of hubris, and taking huge event attendance and trivializing it into "celebrity worship". The media's eating it up, even as they refute McCain's outright lies, because finally they have some red meat to gnash on, some real aggressive conflicts between the campaigns. Hopefully (and if the site you linked to is right, then it's more than just hope), people aren't buying what McCain's pushing.
Oh, la Merkin. She just LOVES air pollution and landfills, I guess. That's how conservatives should be talked about. Pro-air pollution and pro-garbage dumps. They should name the floating continent of garbage in the Pacific after the Republican party. Paradisa Republicana?
It's interesting in a way... criticizing a candidate because he's so gosh darn LIKABLE. And hopeful! I mean, who wants a candidate that's young and hopeful, when we have one that is crotchety and so old he probably farts dust?
But after provoking conservatives on some of the local right-wing blogs (which is fun, and I'd really recommend it), I've realized that these douchebags really wouldn't mind if pollution and landfills really were the order of the day. As long as they get theirs, the rest of the world be damned. Until, of course, they get fired and are on unemployment, or they retire and get Social Security, or they get sick and squawk about the role of the FDA in food safety, or whatever.

Actually, I wish more people would be subject to mandatory sterilization, which is why it's a good thing nobody listens to me about such things. :)
