Ok, not really. And to think, the neo-cons had the gall to call John Kerry a flip-flopper. LOL!!!

That was hard to watch. Almost feel sorry for the guy. I wonder when Obama's video will come out.
Seems like it is very hard for politicians too keep their lies straight.

Short of Johnny McC...pulling off an October Surprise,....Or his Naming of a HEAVY HITTER for VP,.....He is going to get BEAT(in Nov/08)...Like a "Red Headed Step-Child" !
Forget a Mandate,......who here can Spell....LANDSLIDE
Though they will Never admit it, I honestly believe that the RNC is more concerned about winning a precious few US House seats, or holding on to the minority that they presently have.
EL-CHIMPO(Bush) has DONE MORE for the Democrat party, than a CA$H infusion of a $$ Billion dollars
THANK YOU....EL-CHIMPO,.....We (the Democratic Party) will NEVER forget you, and will ALWAYS be GRATEFUL for your ... BRUTAL INCOMPETANCY :blink: :blink: :blink: :eye: :wacko: :wacko:
Maybe this should be merged with the "McCain Speaks" Thread already being discussed here.

Hurry up, quick, call Gallup right now and tell them you have it on good authority that their poll is all wrong!

Gallup Daily: Obama-McCain Race Reverts to Virtual Tie
Percentage undecided now 15%, highest of the year
PRINCETON, NJ -- Voters are closely divided between Barack Obama and John McCain in Gallup Poll Daily tracking conducted June 12-14, with 44% of national registered voters favoring Obama for president and 42% backing McCain.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/107854/Gallup-D...irtual-Tie.aspx
Of the major polling organizations, only Gallup and Diageo/Hotline show a 2 percent margin. The others show Obama leading by as many as 6 points.

The RealClearPolitics (RCP) average for the General Election has Obama with a 3.7 percent lead. The average margin of error is 3.1 percent. The race is a statistical tie. The undecided vote is at it’s highest at 15%.
Obama has a staff of over 700 workers and is running the most expensive general election campaign in election history. I think it is reasonable to expect Obama to run the country as he has ran his campaign. McCain has a staff of approximately 100 workers and is being outspent by the Obama campaign 5 to 1.
These stats have to be disconcerting to the Obama campaign. Monetary contributions to the Obama campaign are running low as contributors have donated as much as the law allows. Expect the undecided vote percentage to climb as more Obama supporters start to question his blank slate promises of hope, change and unity.
That is decidedly untrue. 45% of the $265 million Obama has raised came from donors who contributed $200 or less. Only a third came from those who contributed $2,300 or more. Don't forget that individuals can donate the maximum of $2,300 each for the primaries and the general election for a total of $4,600.

If all those who donated to Obama thus far were to increase their donations to the legal maximum, the Obama campaign will raise another $630 million and that is without taking into consideration new donors.

Stop for a moment and take a look at the numbers you’ve presented.
The number of people who have donated $200 or less to his campaign has not been established. Is it 596,250 people giving $200 or is it 1.5 million who have given $109 each (taken from Obama’s website)? Either way, the math used to estimate a $630 million election war chest doesn’t work and grossly underestimated.
I think you are mistaken with this accretion;
“If all those who donated to Obama thus far were to increase their donations to the legal maximum, the Obama campaign will raise another $630 million and that is without taking into consideration new donors.â€
According to the link you provided from The Hill this is their estimate;
"If those new donors give amounts similar to what Obama supporters have given so far this election cycle, Obama could raise another $630 million for his campaign. He raised $272 million through the end of April from about 1.5 million donors."
I may have misread The Hill article, however, the Obama campaign is nowhere near running out of steam due to contributors having already donated as much as permitted by law, as you have wrongly asserted.
It is very easy to check all individual contributions by names, dates and amounts given by going to the FEC Contributor Data Download site.
Assuming for a moment that all who have given $200 and under, whose contributions totaled $122,000,647 as reported by the Federal Election Commission, actually gave $200, we have at least 600,000 contributors who by law are each permitted give $2,100 to $2,300 more (depending if their earlier contribution was for the primaries or the general election). That adds up to minimum potential of well over a billion dollars available to be raised just from prior small donors. Granted, a billion is unlikely, but hundreds of millions will be raised from both old and new contributors including many of Hillary's supporters.

I find it reprehensible that close to $1 billion (including all 527's, candidates who have dropped out ... etc) will have been spent on buying the office of POTUS for 2008. Who knows how many tens of millions of dollars will be spent on Congress.
New Orleans is still in shambles, the mid-west is drowning, children are going hungry but we have money to waste on these clowns.
