GOP Leaders Worried McCain Headed For Defeat

New York Times:

After a turbulent week that included new disclosures about Gov. Sarah Palin and signs that Senator John McCain was struggling to strike the right tone for his campaign, Republican leaders said Saturday they were worried that Mr. McCain was heading for defeat unless he brought stability to his presidential candidacy and settled on a clear message to counter Senator Barack Obama.

Again and again, party leaders said in interviews that while they still believed that Mr. McCain could win over voters in the next 30 days, they were concerned that he and his advisers seemed to be adrift in dealing with an extraordinarily challenging political battleground and a crisis on Wall Street.

Grumps said earlier today the he learned his histry lessons, or something to the effect. Point being made. Since sarah bell and Obama are close in age, and her superwoman abilities with regards to vision.....is it not possible when she was young she saw Obama right down the road in Hawaii and surely recalls any terroristic events that were surely going on at the playground.

.......MY FRIENDS......I am suspending my campaign so that I can devote my undivided attention to the Economic Crisis that is griping this country.......

OH, I've done that already ?

We can't take anything for granted. Even though BO is ahead in the polls - you never know how people will vote when they get into the voting booth. There's the danger that they are saying one thing and will do another when it comes time to voting.

I just used a combination of websites to see what Obama's Electoral votes might be.

The range is from 350 to 410 and he needs 270 so that is good!

But to get that ALL DEMOCRATS MUST VOTE on or before Nov 4!

America and Americans can Recover and Thrive!

And every independent you can stir up. This is no time for complacency.

[PT6]

Yes, Work until the last vote on Nov 4!

Who is Hal Turner?

* In my opinion, based on my first hand experience, I believe Sean Hannity is, in fact, a Hal Turner sort of guy. It seems to me that a big difference between Sean and me is that I am willing to say publicly what I think about savage Black criminals, diseased, uneducated illegal aliens and the grotesque cultural destruction wrought by s-a-t-a-n-i-c j-e-w-s while Sean and many others keep quiet to protect their paychecks.

* On Wednesday, March 19, Malik Zulu Shaba-z-z of the New Black Panther Party appeared as a guest on "Hannity & Colmes" to discuss the Obama / Reverend Wright controversy. During that appearance, Sean Hannity asked Shaba-z-z if Barak Obama shouldn"t be judged by his past affiliations with Reverend Wright, to which Shabazz replied by asking Sean Hannity "Should you be judged by your past association with Hal Turner, a neo-N-a-z-i?"I was quite disappointed when Sean Hannity at first tried to say he didn"t know me and then went on to say that I ran some senate campaign in New Jersey. In fact, Sean Hannity does know me and we were quite friendly a number of years ago.

* I can tell you from my firsthand, personal experience that Sean Hannity does, in fact, agree with many of my political and social views.

The GOP leaders have good cause to worry. The McSame campaign is toxic and the political careers of all those connected with this camp of pain is sinking faster than the Titanic.

They need to move the Clintons-Bidens show now onto small town Ohio and Florida.

[Mildmannered]

And if things are looking really good -- move it onto Indiana, Missouri and West Virginia

The republicans in DC would be doing a great service to their country by coming out telling people NOT to vote for MCCain. That would be a change for the better.

McCain's "message" essentially is more of the same, four more years of Bush. With the economy spiraling down and foreign policy (e.g., Afghanistan) spiraling down, it is no surprise that the "message" is not connecting.
