    What's so ridiculous is that all these McCain supporter are going on and on about how McCain is nearly even with Obama in General Election polling. What they seem to ignore is the fact that MOST people got about six months of McCain policy scrutiny (since that's about how long the Republican's had more then one person running for President).

    While the Democrats have been putting their policies out for nearly 16 months it not surprising that detractors of the Democrats policies far out number those of the Republican.

    That is going to change when 1) outside influences start taking McCain's position to task or 2) the Democrats decide on a candidate and BOTH Clinton and Obama start pointing out the flaws in a McCain Presidency or BOTH.

      The people who keep say that Clinton/Obama supports will vote for McCain before they would cross over and vote for Obama/Clinton are insane. The fact remains that the differences between the positions of Clinton and Obama amount to a tablespoon of water while the differences between the Republicans and Democrats more closely represents the Pacific Ocean.

      McCain secured the Republican Presidential nomination without buying it, he can win in Nov with the 89 million dollars in public funds he agreed to use. Obama pledged to use Public funds, but he can't keep his word on anything.

        George Soros wants to buy America, and he is close. Years ago, Soros helped create MoveOn, and now it is a major fundraiser for Barack Obama. Since Soros is a socialist that is more than troubling.

          Hired character assassin Brock makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Who pays his salary?

          Soros distributed big money to a variety of far-left outfits. And then the cash, some of it anyway, flows into Brock's organization Media Matters. Things are set up this way so Soros can say he does not directly fund the vicious media site.

          Same thing with the new Progressive Media USA outfit. Because it's a 501(c)(4) for non-profit group, donors can be kept secret. Thus, Soros can spend as much cash as he wants to smear McCain, and nobody will know about it.

          This is ultra dangerous. Most Americans have no idea who Soros or Brock are. They will only know what they see on TV, smear stuff against McCain. And the pipeline extends directly to NBC News, which will publicize every piece of slime Brock can create. Only one word describes this: despicable.
