Liberal complacency allowed Ronald Reagan to become president and Newt Gingrich to take over Congress.

The greatest danger of an Obama administration is that after November 4 liberals will say "We won" and go back to their non-involved lives.

In fact, the remnants of the modern conservative movement are counting on it.

You're shocked there's racism in this campaign. Shocked, I tell you, shocked?

I'm shocked that so many self-professed racists are in fact going to "vote for the nigger" or "vote for the colored boy".  And if they put it in those terms they are not giving you a polite "Yes".  They are really going to vote for Obama.  I don't know how extensive that phenomenon is but I suspect it's gaining strength in union areas.

And it really is the economy and the incompetence of the Republican administrations.

Will it be enough?  The suspense of that question is enough to stop suicides or premature emigrations.

I heard about a pickup truck in North Carolina with a shotgun in a rack and a bumper sticker that read, "I love my gun but I love my job more -- Vote Obama". I understand that the former Republican Governor or Virginia is running around SW Virginia challenging white voters,"What matters more? His race? Or your job?".
The specter of Depression II is forcing white America to  make this choice. I'm glad they have McCain instead of Romney. With Romney, they could convince themselves yje he knew what to do. With McCain, they know he is hopeless. All he's got is he's white. Will it be enough? I don't know. I do know it's enough for Northern racists, but I'll never understand Southern Whites. I have a friend from Mississippi. He believes that the Civil War (or as he calls it, The War of Northern Aggression) was a noble defense of states' rights. He's a Southern White Man through and through. Yet he's totally non-racist and an Obama booster. He was raised racist, but says he learned better in the Navy.
