This is one of my reasons for wanting Biden as the candidate...
The media will elect McCain and Obama as our candidates to run against each other. Our blind electorate, both Democrats and Republicans have taken the bait. They have already attacked Obamas foreign policy experience. Between now and next year a small terrorist attack will take place, and there you have it President McCain!

People don’t pick Presidents anymore,the media does. The whole thing is a set up, and everyone is just going along and buying it! They made sure they got rid of Biden and Dodd so that their Maverick can be the candidate. After all of the dirty tricks we have seen over the years by these crooks I don't see how some cannot see what they are doing. This is not the time to be taking chances. Remember " Fool me once, can't get fooled again"

4. You are just one of a very small number of people in this country who
wanted Biden anywhere near the White House. He couldn't prevent shit.

All old Joe was capable of was giving Citibank and the other credit card companies a chokehold around the throats of the American people.

5. I was also a Biden supporter...
but I have no sour grapes. Nor was it strictly in the hands of the media. People don't want the level of candor that Joe was offering.

But that's no reason to be so pessimistic. If Obama is our candidate, even if there is another terror attack, I think he could beat McCain or any other Repuke. Even with Diebold . Gotta have faith and hope. Otherwise, we might just as well crawl into a hole.

6. I do have a concern that if McCain does get the Rep nom, and we do have
another "attack" -- or even the threat of Pakistan -- that out of fear, many people might go to McCain because of his experience in this area. Scares the living bejesus out of me.
