CBS/NY Times Poll: Obama 52% - McCain 39%


The country is now desperate for a change. We are expecting to see the race tighten as the last week comes around, in fact Obama's lead might widen to a staggering landslide. It is possible, and with the market expected to tank big time today, everyone's 401K goes to 101K value.

Seriously, we've already seen a 60% reduction in some portfolios, then a lift up to 50% reduction. A repeat is possible with even steeper losses.

This will hopefully have a positive effect on the GOP in the long run. The party somehow needs to move away from its two pronged base of right wing x-tians and neo-cons. The GOP is now structured to support those that believe we are in the "end times" and those that promote war and corporate growth at all costs, witness Bush for the last 8 years.

Turns out Bush is nothing more than tissue paper on top of a boiling tea kettle. He has no authority, no governing ability, no stewardship even within the marginal constraints of a "Republican" presidency where the president is required to look the other way as often as possible. The heat has gotten so high that not only is the water boiling, the kettle is starting to melt.

Your so right about the GOP's scary base of Imperialist neo-cons and their Xian rabble friends. I know some of these types and they are indeed a scary horde of barbarians. We need to just keep ourselves focused in this "end times" ( for them.) For us hopefully it will be a new beginning.

I'd like to see the moderate educated Republicans take over their party.

Its interesting, I read on a right wing blog where someone wrote that Obama's presidency will cause a rise in the intelligent design movement.

How on earth does this make any sense. Palin herself is a non-evolutionist.

We're not seeing a whole lot of logic coming from the GOP right now, its all just potshots.
