Reply #47: Well, I wouldn't say that I'm THAT pessimistic

McSame/Palin is not running as good of a campaign as Bush/Cheney did in 2000 and 2004 and, frankly, I believe that 2004 was probably just not going to be our year no matter what due to the general proximity of 9/11 and the start of the Iraq war/occupation. Plus, Bush had the power of incumbency at his disposal and the economy hadn't started melting down yet. Frankly, with all of the advantages that Bush enjoyed, Kerry still came rather close to winning (or DID win depending on whether or not you believe the vote counting in Ohio was fraudulent).

It will definitely be interesting to see how Obama/Biden handle the debates but they haven't disappointed me so far so I expect that they will have some kind of strategy for neutralizing McSame/Palin. For the moment, it seems like McSame/Palin are losing credibility even among our corrupt corporate media fast and they seem to have spent whatever sympathy and goodwill that might still have had they not started bashing the media. Who knows how much will be left of them by the time the debates roll around??? Heck, Palin can't even handle a "softball" interview with a sympathetic journalist like Gibson!

Keep the faith! It's not over yet!!!
