GOFFSTOWN, New Hampshire (AFP) — John McCain warned rival Barack Obama not to get cocky with his comfortable lead in the polls Wednesday as he hammered away at the Democrat's plans to "redistribute wealth."

"My opponent's looking pretty confident these days," McCain told a rally in Goffstown, New Hampshire.

"He'll be addressing the nation soon. He's got another one of those big-stadium spectacles in the works, acting like the election is over."

But McCain said the people often prove the pundits and pollsters wrong, like the surprise win he posted in the New Hampshire primary which put his flagging campaign on the path to the Republican nomination.

"I can't think of any place I'd rather be as election day draws close than running an underdog campaign in the state of New Hampshire," McCain told the cheering crowd.

1. "Spectacles." Sounds like you're shuffling around looking for yours, McCranky.

5. HA! Love it! n/t

[polichick]

2. McShame is not in a position to give Obama advice on anything.

[Endangered Specie]

29. Depends

he can give advice on that.

[babylonsister]

3. Sure. Now's the time to take advice from McBush. He's doing so well! nt

[tekisui]

4. There is a difference between and underdog and a dead dog.

[teenagebambam]

6. How long before he slips

and says "uppity", which is what he really means? I give it three days.

[Xipe Totec]

7. Or uppity...

:eyes:

[closeupready]

15. Yeah I was just gonna post that.

:rofl:

8. Obama having a big-stadium event isn't acting like the election is over...

...it's acting like an effective candidate.

[Two Sheds]

9. then schedule your own big-stadium spectacle

oh that's right. You can't draw more than 5k on a weekend in a red state. Also, if you acted like you had the election in the bag, everyone would think you had finally snapped.
Make that finally finally snapped.

[Pirate Smile]

10. The only thing that would make John McCain happier would be to be 20 points down. Let's do it!

[MoJoWorkin]

11. McLizard's jealousy is showing.

[VWolf]

12. Jeebus, is there ANYTHING this man doesn't plagarize?

Didn't Obama say only a couple days ago, also in NH, that we shouldn't get complacent???

[Nambe]

13. Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama can handle our fearless leader McCain.

[livelongandprosper]

14. It was not a surprise in NH. He was leading in every poll.

He is lying.

[hedgehog]

16. I agree with McCain. There's no place that I'd rather he be as election day

draws close than running an underdog campaign in the state of New Hampshire.

[Tempest]

17. He's lying about New Hampshire

He was leading in the polls there during the primary race.

[Indepatriot]

18. Yeah, that's the ticket.........

We've got That One right where we want him. Didn't he use that same "no place I'd rather be" line 2 weeks ago in Ohio? He's gonna have to quit hiding behind Wolfmother's skirt if they're gonna be in two places at once. Then again, he's finally pushed Cindy Stepford McPurse out on her own, and I'm sure she's drawing big crowds...........................................................................................................

[Frisbee]

19. McPOW sounds TOO confident to me...

I just hope he doesn't already know that this election is going to be stolen for him. All this talk of a Bradley effect is worrying me, not that I believe it, but it may be what they plan to use as their excuse, the lying fucks.

[Politicalboi]

20. Poor MaGoo

Obama should invite him on the half hour spectacle he's having next week. Smothers Brothers 08. :popcorn:

[Taverner]

21. For once I agree

Rachel Maddow had an excellent piece on overconfidence last night

[stillcool]

27. yup..we should thank John!

the Obama Campaign has been telling us for weeks now not to get complacent, to disregard the polls, and not to let up. I guess McCain is just reiterating the message. Plus taking a swipe at Obama is always good for a few votes.

[Taverner]

28. We should definitely thank him for Palin

And thereby, giving us the election

[truthisfreedom]

22. He was just looking for an opportunity to say "cock."

I'm just sayin'. More code words.

[lonestarnot]

23. Bwwww ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!

:rofl:

[Release The Hounds]

26. Man with hand in pocket feels cocky all day.

[goforit]

24. McCain missing the point. This race isn't about him or Obama, its about America.

[robertpaulsen]

25. Late as usual, McThuselah. Obama was on that days ago.

"Two words: New Hampshire." Remember who said that last week, McSenile?

[Posteritatis]

30. Hasn't Obama been warning Obama not to get cocky?

I mean, there's adjectives I'd be even less likely to apply to Obama, such as "radioactive" or "mauve," but "cocky" was never exactly high up on the list either. The guy's been telling his own supporters there's a ways to go yet.

[ailsagirl]

32. That is correct. McLame is psycho

:crazy:

[Solly Mack]

31. Color McCain pea green with envy
