Ah, Fred. What could have been.....

I still don't see how mentioning Obama's middle name, as that sticker does, adds anything to the discussion. As soon as I see or hear that, it discredits whatever other point is being made.

My middle name is Robert.

When I run for President in a few decades I hope the Republicans don't make a big deal about it being the same name as the ringleader of the military branch of a famous secessionist/domestic terrorist group.

Hussein is the name of one of Mohammed's grandsons, so it's like a biblical name for Muslims. Telling Muslims not to name their kids Hussein because of Saddam Hussein is like telling Christians not to name their kids Timothy because of Timothy McVeigh.

A Hayes Research poll just came out giving McCain just a 3 point lead in Alaska. Definitely an outlier, but funny to look at none the less.

EDIT: by the way, the supposed Pennsylvania tightening? It tightened to a 6 or 7 point Obama lead. Moderate Republicans came home to roost for McCain and he gained independents. It's still bluer than the nation by 3 or 4%.

Obama will not win Pennsylvania by 6 points. Put it on the board.

I wouldn't be so positive of that.

It was 5% bluer than the rest of the Nation when Kerry won it. 6 isn't a stretch.

Ah, Fred. What could have been.....

I said just yesterday that I'd give the right wing (Fox/Limbaugh.Hannity, etc...) a week before they jump on the "I told you all along it shouldn't have been McCain..."

Who will they say it should have been? Romney? None of the other Republican candidates IMO could have done better than McCain.

McCain's middle name is Sidney. I'm sure you have some thoughts about that name, too.

I agree Mary.
