Obama's got money and the press in his pocket.

McCain is fighting a weak economy and he supports a war that is subject to criticism.

0bama's got spending issues, and now his lead in states he should have easily won are slipping away. That means he's going to have to spend his hard earned cash in more states just to stay competitive. Also- he's still having to raise money- he has a fundraiser tonight. That's less time schmoozing voters. Also- the DNC is hurting for money and at some point, the big donors are going to turn the spigot off.

McCain, on the other hand, is gaining in states he shouldn't be gaining in. WA is close, NJ is close, NY is close, PA is tied, MN is tied. Meanwhile- the RNC is in the dough, and McCain gets his publicly matched funds while having all the time he wants to schmooze voters.... and we haven't even mentioned the power of Palin yet.

Look at the trend lines (charts) in these toss up states- trending down for 0bama, up for McCain. I mean- if NY is within 5 and MN (which hasn't gone red since Nixon) is tied- 0bama ain't doing so good.

Need some technical help
I just got a laptop, well, a couple of months ago.
Unfortunately, it has vista.

It won't shut down properly, and I don't know why

Also, for some reason, SpySweeper quit working, no clue why.

It keeps telling me to find a a"definitions" file, but when I try to open Spy Sweeper, I get just a blank window.

Is it time to just toss the whole mess and get a Mac? Young Reine just got one and I really like it. What do I do with my brand new Dell?

re: #73 DeafDog

The obvious reasons...

Obama's got money and the press in his pocket.

McCain is fighting a weak economy and he supports a war that is subject to criticism.

It's not a good formula for success on Nov. 4. Johnny Mac (aka Mac the knife) has performed better than expected so far, but the race is still too close for my liking.

And to mine - Johnny Mac needs to regain his momentum, fast!
The time for jubilation and gloating starts on Nov 5th - until then its slog it out and ffs, take the gloves off, McCain - no more Mr Nice Guy!

Anything more than 7+1 and you start to pay a price for the weight of the piece. It may no longer fall within the parameters of concealable, and will take longer to draw and aim. I like agile.

Can someone please explain to me how government-sponsored entities can be allowed to make millions of dollars in political donations? I don't care if the beneficiary had a D or ad R after their names, this is totally corrupt.

re: #15 gonecamping

So when Biden gets thrown under the bus, how will it be done surreptitiously.
1. Medical emergency requires he leave
2. Yet another dumb comment and he steps down for the sake of the party
3. He gets in a big scandal and has to disappear from public life
or
4 Neither, Obama will never admit he made a mistake and keeps Biden on till the bitter end

I say 1 or 4. Since the MSM coves so much up, it would have to be a really, really, really, really big scandal or comment.

re: #110 lawhawk

HA! I remember when there wasn't an Internet. When there was a time before the Internet known as you know it. No WWW. Just Gopher. Telnet. BBS. No Internet Explorer. No Firefox. And out of that formless text based system we discovered Mosaic. And all was good. Until MSFT got into the game.

It was still "the internet" back then, it just wasn't "the web". Back in the day when my only access was a unix shell account, I still called it the internet. But the abUsenet was a wonderful creation. By the time the web came along, flame wars, trolls, and all the other things we associate with internet "social graces" had already been created and refined in the newsgroup trenches, ready to be unleashed on the forums and blogs.

20 point swing to McCain by white women votes. McCain leads with seniors and rural Americans too. Those are three key voting blocks, and I don't think 0bama's going to be able to woo them back.

That's true, but not the reason for the 10 rd limit. It's supposed to limit a shooters ability to conduct a mass shooting. But anyone who practices swapping mags it barely interrupts firing. We used to do drills; 2 mags, 2 rds each, draw, fire 2, swap, fire 2 in (IIRC) 4 secs.

It's like the "assault" weapons bans, what hey picked as "defining characteristics" are all cosmetic not functional.

Besides, when a criminal illegally obtains a gun how much attention is he gonna' pay to mag limits?

Legal restrictions on mag capacity is pure sophistry.

The most over-quoted line from a film. And not even that film's best. To me, it doesn't get much better than "Anyone can tell I didn't do that to him... Because he looks too damn good."
