We are not running against John McCain. We are running against Roger Ailes and Karl Rove
I posted this in response to another post, but wanted to emphasize a point:

Whereas many think that running against McCain is a cinch, it won't be.
If it were only McCain, it would be a cinch, but it isn't just McCain.

There's no harm in some optimistic exuberance, but most posts with cold
rational analysis show an acute awareness that polls and common sense
are not enough to win this election. I have first-hand knowledge that
top Democrats (Howard Dean first and foremost) are only too well aware
that the Republicans will pull every dirty trick in the book, and no
doubt some new ones, to get McCain in. They are extremely apprehensive
that there will be another "surprise Republican upset victory," courtesy
of tried and proven methods of electoral fraud that worked so well for
them in the past. They know that we know, so there will surely be others,
as well.

There is one thing Republicans fear more than oil at $300, more than
a meteor wiping out Wall Street, more than global warming inundating
Miami and Key West, and more than an earthquake dropping half of
California into the Pacific. And that is................

The next Democratic Attorney General. Do you realize how many of the
ones now in power are looking at serious jail time if Obama appoints
an aggressive, dedicated Attorney General? They will do ANYTHING to
prevent that from happening. Anyone who thinks they are not already
planning stuff so evil, we can't even imagine it, is dreaming.

1. Judging by the content of this forum, I thought we were running against Obama.

3. You'd be surprised how fast kids outgrow diapers. It'll happen here, too.
Only the trolls will be left.

6. Hell, we are running against the GOP, the Corporate Media, and
ourselves.

Obama's got his work cut out for him.

But I've got faith....cause that is what it is going to take. Faith and some action anyways.
