McCain/Obama

Oddsmakers --yes, there are odds published on even elections-- had Obama a 3 to 1 favorite going into tonight's debate. That's not a slight edge or advantage, that's a landslide. So the question is will anything change in tomorrow's polls.

The answer, sadly, is no. America, unbelievably, is absolutely going to elect a liberal extremist as our next President. Not just an extremist, but an extremist among extremists. Obama absolutely looks more Presidential than McCain. He's younger, more dynamic, BS's better, ala Clinton, and also wants to sit down with Iran and talk. Wants to raise taxes in the worst of all possible times to raise taxes. Avoids questions about whether the U.S. would defend Israel if attacked by Iran. Wow. The answer, Senator Obama, is yes. Yes, you would defend Israel if they were attacked. Yes. Yes. Yes. The answer is Yes. Obama couldn't run far enough from that question. Scary.

And McCain is no conservative. No cookie-cutter republican. He's a moderate. Yet next to Obama, he actually looks conservative. And older. Less vibrant. Less TV-electable. What a shame that we have become so appearance-focused. Obama's like the beautiful girl who always smiled and knows she's beautiful. She is so physiclaly appealing that you just can't help but pursue her. Then, when it's too late, the smiles fade and you get to know her. And you realize how stupid and shallow you were.
