I hope so! - I can't stomach McBush anymore & its only early Aug...I watched a couple minutes of a town hall meeting in Wisconsin & McBush took a question from an 18 yr. old girl, & this drama queen, Pussycat Doll wanna-be goes "Barack Obama scares me" blah blah blah....Yeah, well honey, John McBush terrifies me, & millions of others as well....

For those not up on their pop culture, Pussycat Dolls are a singing group, with the current hit "When I Grow Up"...lol

1. No wonder it's from Reuters not ron fournier's AP..
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - It really is the economy, stupid! Economic models that have correctly predicted the winner of almost all post-war U.S. presidential elections say recession fears will secure a victory for Barack Obama in November."

2. Ron Fournier's AP would never write that kind of a lead sentence. Not in a million years!

6. I'm kinda surprised at Rueters because
I remember blm posting that Reuters was being gobbled up by neo-fascist mediawhores(my words) quite a while ago.

So maybe they didn't sell out?

3. Obama will scrape by like Carter did (within 3%)
That's my prediction anyways.

5. I originally predicted that he would win in a Reagan-style sweep
But then the last couple of weeks happened and I realized that the media and the GOP would never ever let that happen.

7. Yeah, he should win like your original prediction due
to the State of our Union but fascists in power are frothing overtime to see that it won't.

Long 3 months.
