Exactly. It couldn't get any bigger than that. Hey - turn on your TV right now - all of these shady connections have hit critical mass - and now Obama has bowed out of the race!!!I knew if we jerked in our little circle hard and long enough, we would conquer those commie moonbats! Success is ours!
Actually the press took the anger of the base and turned it around on McCain. Nevermind that the Democrat base has been rabid for the past 8 years in their unjust hatred of Bush, the story was the right being pissed about the most left-wing and most inexperienced Presidential nominee in modern times getting a free pass in the press and somehow managing to find himself leading in the polls. Was some of the BS from the right wingers stupid? Yes, and the idiot with the Curious George doll and the woman who said that Obama was an Arab come to mind, but those idiots are on both sides of the spectrum and don't reflect the group as a whole. Honestly, we do have a good reason to be pissed. After 8 years of constantly undermining our President the left is now claiming that every ill of the past eight years is the fault of the President. That is to be expected in politics, but the press is letting them get away with that distortion. Further, Obama's extremely shady ties are being whitewashed and being deemed "smears" and "lies". The mainstream right views him as worse than Carter, and I view him as a very bad choice. I have many problems with Obama myself, including but not limited to the following:1) The Supreme Court cannot afford more liberal judges, we need judges who follow the Constitution like Scalia and Roberts do. 2) Obama's healthcare plan is a good step towards socialized medicine, which is a bad idea for us all. 3) The fairness doctrine, an assault on the 1st Amendment, is likely to be passed.4) Despite his talk, I believe that Obama will work towards further violating our 2nd Amendment rights5) He promises to raise taxes, and this is a time of economic crisis6) Pelosi, Reid, Obama. If they get a filibuster-proof majority we are in trouble I could suck it up and be happy waiting another 4 years for a Republican President if the parties really were, as you say, so nearly indistinguishable from one another that it doesn't matter. But the two parties are very different and even though McCain wasn't my guy I became a supporter of his the day his nomination was secured. Even if you don't think that the Republicans are conservative enough for you, the changes that Obama is promising right now are pretty hard to reverse. So even if you don't like what either candidate is proposing... why not go for the option of a divided government where both parties must choose to either compromise or get nothing done?

The big story we're going to see in about 3 weeks is Obama winning this election.
