Oh my.
Dreams of candy canes and tulips and lollipops wafting through the clouds.

I think a McCain breakdown is possible this week
The Obama media coverage and the ensuing poll numbers are going to make his head explode. He's been getting angrier in interviews. I think he might just blow up at a reporter sometime in the next week.

2. I second the "yes, please".
I can hardly wait until he announces his VP pick (if the stories are accurate and he indeed does this week) - and the media STILL will be all about Obama.
Like a fool, he's planning on making the "special announcement" when Obama is appearing in Berlin.
no comprendo what the gated primitive means in that last sentence; most agree that's a great move.

5. A McSame meltdown would be great.
The media no doubt would never show it. They'd be under orders not to. Just like the dead soldiers, if America doesn't see it, it doesn't exist.
If soon-to-be-born infants torn from wombs aren't shown, they must not exist either, right?

8. We do NOT want a McCain breakdown
Without McCain, the Repugs will drop an emergency candidate in place - Jeb Bush. Or they'll declare martial law and just stop the elections entirely.

12. My sentiments exactly. A mini-breakdown however, would be welcome- but not until the first debate when we know the media will have no choice but to air it since it will be live.
My idea is for someone to ask him that same question the Veteran asked him a while back which questions how, as a Viet Nam vet he could have voted repeatedly AGAINST taking care of the returning veterans?
Or perhaps someone might ask him- live and on camera- something related to geography- like- which countries border Iraq?
We do not want a complete meltdown however because they will absolutely- drop someone else in right away. I'll bet they have someone standing by right now. They could also put Romney in place as the candiate and throw Jeb in as the VP. Anything is possible- martial law included.

14. Better now than after he wins (which I don't think he will.)
Yeah, I want to see him blow up at someone big time for all the world to see. Of course the GOP will just spin it as McCain being "authentic" or "McCain being McCain". Or they will just blame the media for pissing him off.
McCain cannot think outside the box of there being a military solution for everything. Now that there seems to be a viable alternative to bombing the crap out of everyone we disagree with McCain is getting more and more testy.

17. Oh my, that is too funny
The debates should be priceless. McCain will have to get to the forum a couple of hours ahead of time and plant himself on his box behind his podium so no one really notices how much Obama towers over him.
Not that there is anything wrong with being short. Pretending you're tall is the problem.

18. No, the bantam rooster is just going to dig faster and deeper
Never mind his shovel has a rope handle, either. Enjoy the antics.
franksolich is enjoying very much the primitive antics, thank you.

Judging from the past DUchebag prediction record, it will never happen.

Do tell. Is this the SAME conservative media we read about at the DUmp all the time? Do tell.

It can't be easy for McCain or the RNC who totally believed the media would support McCain. The media created McCain and now they are destroying him but only by taking away focus from him. As bad as it is for McCain now in the media, it will be much worse when the media finally decide it is time to destroy the Messiah. McCain has at least some core substance. The Barrakstar is a totally made up media fable. Just all this fabulous attention he is getting now is enough to puncture his image
But the core lesson every Republican should take from this to never trust the media. I remember years ago writing to someone, either the Majority Leader at the time or the head of the RNC and telling them to get their members just to throw out the NY Times and not seek for favorable media coverage from them but to do what was right and what they were elected to do.
Obviously it went over like a lead balloon but still...

Obama has given himself credit for a "tour of duty" after 8 hours in Afganistan. He also anounced, profoundly with great wisdom, that Israel was a loyal ally of ISRAEL! Where would the drive by press be if anyone seeking the Pres. Nomination on the Rep. ticket be? It would be the lead story for weeks.

Do they bother to explain why Obama Hussein's poll numbers are drifting down like the floating feather during the opening credits of "Forrest Gump"?

Im fairly convinced Skinner's Inmates are beginning to fear the thought of McCain stepping aside. They have so finely honed their 'Bush's 3rd Term' mantra that if there was a pre-convention switch, their smear campaign will need to be totally retooled - they wont have time to do it - yet, all the negatives that are finally settling in about the BarackStar! are going to continue to push him earthward.

If the DUmmies want predictions, I'll make a one.
Everybody knows McCain. Everybody knows he is more or less an old curmudgeon. Everybody knows he will speak his mind. To the average American voter, McCain is not really going to be a surprise. No matter if he barks at a few reporters that richly deserve it or not. Add to this he was a fighter pilot used to thinking in the heat of the moment, and he seems to be very at ease facing even hostile questions from the public.
Obama, on the other hand, is a highly orchestrated media fabrication. Give him a speech, a few rehearsals, and a teleprompter and he looks pretty decent. Not really great but decent. Take him out of that element and he fumbles, badly. When he has faced question and answer questions there have been an awful lot uhs, uhms, and ahs. This portrays a person what really doesn't have much ability to think on his feet. Odd for a lawyer. The mere volume of these failures when facing basic questions reveals that he is not really as smart as he is portrayed either.
Obama has repeatedly avoiding town hall meetings with McCain.
Come debate time Obama isn't going to have a teleprompter. Nor will he have advanced warning of the questions that he and McCain will be asked. My prediction is this. McCain is going to make Obama look like a fool to any thinking person come debate time. Further, I think McCain ends up winning the White House.
Should McCain win, the Democrats will make sure to run a very centrist ticket in 2012

Eisenhower could talk in circles in a way that left me, as a little kid, wondering what the hell he said and being favorably impressed at the same time. JFK would get this little smile and say "Let me say this about that,..." and off he go, making sentance after sentance that told you ZERO, but without stammer one. They were the masters, you knew it was pure golden BS, but it was fun to listen to and they were, in completely different ways, great men.
Since, we've mostly had (except Reagan) story tellers who were simply unbelieveable. Why ANYONE believed a word Clinton said, for example, was completely beyond me.
But Obama's the WORST in my living memory. He just outright LIES, and is bad at it. A reporter will have a tape of yesterdays pronouncment, opposite todays, and Obama will say they are the same, then ramble disjointedly and pretend he proved his point. He's either completely and utterly delusional or he is not as "smart" as his worshipers say, indeed, he's a stupid man.
