"When was the last time the ANGRY candidate won?"

Jeffrey Toobin said that tonight on CNN when asked if he thinks McCain's new strategy will work. Good point. They NEVER win.

2. Actually, the Chimp came off more as clueless than Angry....

Plus there wasn't an economic collapse going on at that point.

4. Did his events look like KKK rallies? And in the debates, I don't remember him looking angry. ..

14. I don't know what his events looked like.

They were a screened "Repukes only" audience, so I couldn't get in. Not that I wanted to. And I'm sure the KKK was there. But they were probably yelling for him to go kill some more "towel heads", not his opponent.

15. Have you been to a MCCAIN event? Neither have I, but I saw them on tv...

which is how I know that I see an anger with McCain and his supporters that I haven't seen before. And as for McCain's debates with Obama, he has looked like an angry man in both debates compared to Bush who just looked stupid.

16. It's common knowledge that Gramps has a short fuse

Even Repukes in the Senate, and from his own state party in AZ will admit to that. But the Whore Media chooses to ignore it.

As for the crowds.... they have been conditioned by 20 years of Limbaugh, 12 years of FAUX, and 8 years of Chimp to live in alternating states of hatred and fear. McCrazy & Moosealini are cashing in on both.

5. That's a good point.

I think Obama's cool, level-headed demeanor is exactly what this country needs right now and they are flocking to it in droves.
