Amazing how many people I talk to still think Obama has zero chance vs. McCain - he's backtracked on so much shit in the last year he's going to get fucking pilloried for it. It's not like Bush won either time by a huge margin, and a lot of the fence sitters are going to go Obama or just stay the fuck home.

You're dreaming, this is going to be vicious. Look, McCain is an old white guy. We elect old white guys. America is in the electing old white guys business. Barack Obama is a black man -- the fact is many people will vote for ANYBODY before they'll vote for a black man. Satan could spring from the depths of hell and promise us eons of misery, but if he takes on the guise of an old white guy he'll have a crack at the popular vote.

But hey, I'll vote for Obama, you'll vote for Obama. That's two! Prove me wrong America, for the love of God. Prove me wrong.

Truth be told, it's probably impossible to run as the official Republican candidate and not sell out

Yes, but do you think there's any chance of McCain, should he get elected, magically turning back into the old McCain? If that could happen, I wouldn't be filled with nausea at the thought of him winning the election.

What? Politicians lie to get elected and then go and do what they originally wanted all along constantly. I'd be more surprised if he _didn't_ turn into ye ol' McCain if he got elected. Similarly for Clinton.

Don't tell them that. The only entertainment value of those stupid talking head shows is when they pull this kind of shit and the politicians walk into it again and again and again.

I'm looking forward to the books written by the people who suffered while working under McCain...

He'd better get crackin', cause he's running out of time.

Instead, he goes for the BUT BUT THAT'S DIFFERENT card, which isn't really a difficult one to play here, and is maybe even vaguely (vaaaaaaaaaaguely) justified, insofar as "well, we pulled out of Somalia, and look how well that went for the Somalians."

Then again, the kind of free market quasi-anarchism that's sprung up in Somalia would be right up the alley of the average Freeper, as long as it was gangs of fundamentalist christians trying to take over the resultant chaos instead of fundamentalist muslims.

Yes his composure is to call Tim Russert an idiot (basically) rather than maybe, just maybe, having the balls to admit he changed his mind. And this goes more towards the theory that McCain has a terrible, terrible temper that he only barely controls.
The last time a reporter did this to McCain with his own words, it was on board one of McCain's campaign flights which had press on board and he laid into the woman pretty fierce, completely avoided the actual issue. He was unaware it was being filmed.

boosh.
next thing you know, he'll be going up against a sicilian when death is on the line.
