So much work, so little time
Check out this article in Bloomberg:

June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Janell Mader and Sheryl Randoll are undecided American voters, and Barack Obama has to show them he has the right stuff to lead the country.

The encouraging news for the Democratic nominee is that these two York, Pennsylvania, voters, both of whom backed President George W. Bush in 2004, are persuadable. They were among a dozen people -- mostly Hillary Clinton supporters or Republicans -- who gathered for a two-hour focus-group discussion on the election, moderated by pollster Peter Hart.

Mader and Randoll say they need to hear more about what Obama would do, and they worry about his inexperience, especially in contrast to Republican John McCain. Yet they want the senator from Illinois to provide that reassurance.
(WHAT...JOHN MCCAIN"S EXPERIENCE? I WISH THEY HAD MADE THESE TWO IMBECILES DEFINE WHAT MCCAINS "EXPERIENCE" IS! Then maybe we'd have a starting point to educate the lamebrains!)

And this IDIOT from the article! "Charles Fasano, a 56- year-old apprentice mortician, is a Democrat who can't abide Obama: ``His middle name is Hussein. I don't trust Obama.'' BUT SURE...Fasano is a 'prentice mortician.''
(AS IF he has anything to worry about in his future profession...need I say "job security" for this bastid?)

AND HERE IS THE DUZZY:
McCain Admired

It isn't that these citizens dislike McCain. When Hart asks them which of the candidates they would prefer to carry the American flag into the Beijing Olympics or to lead a lost party out of the forest, overwhelmingly they say McCain. Even partisan Democrats admire him.

They just don't identify him with any issues except the Iraq War, and his Republican Party carries a huge burden. When Bush comes up -- a majority of these people voted for him four years ago -- the contempt is palpable, with words like ``horrible'' and ``worst ever'' rolling off their tongues.
(And they think they have better judgement this time around. I think I just want to blow my brains out.)
