So....................What's the "game changer" going to be?

While I don't want to claim victory too early because there is still 20+ days to go, which is considered to be a "lifetime" when it comes to politics (particularly nowadays), I just can't see how McCain/Palin are going to pull off a win.

All of McCain's stunts and "hail marys" have been epic failures so far and I just can't imagine what he (or Bush/Cheney) might pull out that will either make the race close or put him and Palin ahead of Obama/Biden. Will the corporate media be able to do anything? What, if anything, could be a possible "game changer" or will Obama simply maintain his lead into election day?

The ONLY possible "game changer" that I can think of is some MASSIVE scandal or MONUMENTAL gaffe from the Obama/Biden campaign (although given Palin's ethical problems and McCain's own issues I'm not sure there is anything that Obama could do that would make them look much better either).

What do you think the Obama/Biden campaign might be anticipating? The Ayers story has fizzled out and nobody is really taking it seriously anymore and I don't think Palin's attacks on Obama over his "radical" abortion views are going to gain traction. The last possible "card" that I think that they could play would the Wright but Palin's got her own church issues so they might actually not go there. My thinking is that something EXTERNAL would have to happen although I can't think of anything that might happen that would favor McCain/Palin.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I AM comforted by the fact that Obama has been and still is running a STELLAR campaign and I know that he's got this. I'm just wondering what's still to come............I just don't know how to calm myself down between now and the election

three days a week. Sarah would/should have to go back to AK at least for some time to tamp down this "abuse of power" thingy and get lawyers ready for a civil suit that's sure to come her way. McCain has been warned by "someone" to tamp down the rhetoric and let's face it, they have nothing else. I think after Wednesday's debate, his campaign will taper off. Tinfoily I know, but their numbers are so bad, and if her appearance in Philly tonight is any indication, she's not as popular as she thinks she is.

looking for stolen strawberries...Oh wait, that wouldn't really be a game changer for him, would it?

I think they may try to change the game the same way they did 40 years ago.

:( Oh you meant the election... I actually think they thought what they have been doing would be a game changer.

Or getting them much good press

:D

Nice to have you back Swamp Rat!!!

I don't know why people keep looking, some hoping, for a game changing Obama scandal. The first time they brought up Ayers, I knew there was no scandal material with Obama. When you reach for something as tenous as the Ayers thing, it means there's nothing else. They're scraping the barrel.

Obama will not screw up. The American people might, but not Obama. The only real game changer here is the same as it's always been: race.

Just worried and wondering what everybody else thinks. I'm not personally worried about Obama at all but just afraid of something that might not be in his control. I guess we've been worked up so much over the past 8 years eager for victory and being disappointed time after time that it's hard to believe that we stand on the cusp of a possible (large) victory.

himself. All events will rebound to his favor so long as he just keeps being in control of himself.

But as I've said elsewhere, I just can't believe that with all the effort investigators and prosecutors put on him in the investigation and the trial, that they couldn't have found something damaging to link him to Rezko, or that Rezko wouldn't have said something in order to arrange for a plea agreement prior to his conviction.


Given that the running mate has been proved guilty of corruption herself, however, it might not be the smartest path to go down.

After the 6th hail Mary pass, they have nothing else to go on.

Bush/Cheney, in the form of martial law. Have people completely forgotten what a completely vicious, amoral cabal of criminals Obama is running against? They're going to do everything possible to steal this election if there's any way at all to do it. Has everybody forgotten that this Administration—with the complicity of the Democrats in Congress—now has the legal authority to suspend the Constitution and declare martial law in response to a "national emergency" that the President gets to define? These people have been laying the groundwork for a full-on totalitarian fascist dictatorship for thirty years, and they've now brought it to within 98% of completion—do you really think they're going to just let it slip away when they're this close, and they'll probably never get another chance?

been talked about from CSPAN video's on youTube...

...like so much aluminum foil. The change will be going from a comfortable victory to a landslide for the Democrats.
