McCain in a landslide? Could be

SEN. Barack Obama has the lead for the time being. But three signposts point the way to a McCain landslide in November, in the unlikely event the Arizona senator has the wit to heed them.

What figures to be by far the most important issue this fall is the skyrocketing price of energy and its deleterious effect on the broader economy and national security.

Now that Sen. John McCain has flip-flopped on drilling off our coasts, there is a substantial difference between him and Mr. Obama on the issue. Mr. McCain also supports building more nuclear power plants, which Mr. Obama opposes.

...

So go to ANWR, Mr. McCain. Embrace Sarah Palin there. You'll have to eat some crow. But crow doesn't taste so bad if it's served on the White House china.

1. McCain couldn't even pull out a landslide in the last rounds of GOP primaries.

2. He may not have to worry. I have refitted
my tinfoil hat and now it is permanently attached. All sorts of scenarios run through my head. Are we just marking time until martial law is declared. Why does McCain seem so self-assured about this election? Now that all the oil companies are going to be in charge in Iraq will we be blackmailed into allowing McCain to win? Why do the "journalists" always bring up that McCain has the "safety of our country" sewed up? Is this another right wing conspiracy? Why is impeachment not on the table? Will BushCo have to kill off half this country before someone does something? Please understand all these questions are rhetorical. I am just letting off steam because that seems to be the only thing I can do.
