Hmm, then maybe Obama will stop staying that McCain is just an extension of Bush. Maybe not.

Well, why would he? Bush flunkies suggested that McCain's adopted Bengali child was the love child of a little interracial mingling. McCain should have punched him.

McCain will be much more successful at bringing conservative Republicans back into the fold then Obama will be with Hillary supporters. For one thing, neither McCain or his supoorters treat conservatives as unfit pariahs who had better follow him because they don't have anyplace else to go.
Republicans know how to win presidential elections; Democrats, with the exception of the Clintons, do not. They think that any beer track voter who won't come running to Obama is a redneck, Bible brandishing, gun toting racist. They think any women who support Hillary are just doing so because she's a woman and will come flocking to Obama. They think that Hispanics don't matter. They think that patriotism is an outdated concept and that people offended by Rev. Wright are a bunch of ignorant racists.
So when large numbers of these groups go to McCain, Barr or stay home in the GE and some of the young people who have been fueling the Obama campaign find something else in the fall that's more "cool" to get involved with, Obama will be left with the Dukakis coalition.

May 9 (Bloomberg) -- John McCain said he voted for George W. Bush twice for president, contradicting blogger Arianna Huffington's report this week that he told people at a dinner party that he didn't back Bush in 2000.

``I voted for President Bush, and I said so at the time,'' McCain said today at a press conference in Jersey City, New Jersey. ``This is hardly worth our time,'' McCain said.

I never thought I would agree with you, but here we are. I live in a hub of Obamania - a lot of multiple degreed liberals who make as many assumptions about American life as those on the right wing that they criticize. I don't think they realize that they are way, way outnumbered. I keep thinking "McGovern."
