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.

To John McCain, the middle class is not fundamental, it is ornamental. Hillary Clinton at rally.

I bet, the Reps simply didn't expext Barack Obama would ever even come CLOSE to make it.

Therefore, they NEVER foresaw the enthusiasm ans desire for change, that is moving his base.

These people will move MOUNTAINS to change this country for the better again!

Barack Obama is of a different matter than common politicians are. Therefore, he can't be measured with common scales.

Barack Obama is a one-in-a-c­entury-pol­itician: Like 18th- century-George Washington, 19th-centu­ry-Abraham Lincoln and 20th-centu­ry-Frankli­n Delano Roosevelt were.

This election is more than a usual election.

This is a change of paradigms.

The Reps have miscalculated badly.

And very soon they'll reap what they have sown...

"David Axelrod to Rick Davis: 'You're selling lobbyists access to Senator McCain:

Axelrod: Look I think the way you root out corruption in Washington is first take on the lobbyist culture and you know what we can't have are lobbyists making millions of dollars selling access to public officials as Rick has done selling access to Sen McCain. That is not how you clean up Washington.

Is it false that you sell access to Senator McCain. Do you sell access to Sen. McCain?"

That is what I am talking about

http://www.crooksandliars.com/john-amato/david-axelrod-rick-davis-youre-selling-


Ban lobbyist access to clean up the corruption in Washingrton or there will be no change.

I had no idea that the lives of white, middle class, blue collar, working class Americans were so high on the agenda of the Chicago Political Machine, but I guess I was wrong . I'm sure that Senator Obama wouldn't be just saying these things over and over in order to curry the favor of "the silent majority" and then go back to his very very radical ways, once elected...­..........­..........­....WOULD HE?

[mrsmdressup]

I had no idea that someone with such a teeny brain could type.

[rich misty]

It is the GOP and McCain/Palin who are the radicals

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/10/10/palin_chryson/

Obama is steady, you can tell by his campaign

[KennaP]

Radical: claiming wmd when there were none and invading a country that had nothing to us.

Clinton said he's been dispatched to go into Virginia--he says the Dems are going to win the state this time.

[rich misty]

The GOP is really handicapped here... They cannot send Bush out at all
