Nail in the coffin



So if you've been paying attention to the last few days of the presidential election - you've surely heard all the drama about Gov. Palin bucking against the McCain campaign - and them calling her "a diva" in response to her rebellion on the campaign trail.

All I have to say - how is it that McCain can say that Obama is not "ready to lead" when he can't even keep his VP candidate in line. Just to be clear - that has NOTHING to do with her being a woman - but it has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that as a VP candidate she is CLEARLY second in command. What does that say about his leadership abilities?

Lets not even stop there - what about all of these prominent Republicans coming out and admitting that she was a bad choice for the VP slot. Then to top it off (as if it wasn't sweet enough already) people WITHIN the campaign are now admitting that Gov. Palin fell short of being qualified on a number of issues during the vetting process - but they were ignored. Now that probably comes as no surprised to a lot of people - what's really shocking is these campaign members feeling compelled to put it out to the mass media. Its certainly not helping their candidate - so again - if McCain can't select people to not only run a good campaign but to stay on message and loyal to it - what does that say about his ability to lead?

There is a chance that Democrats could take 60 seats in the Senate - and a solid run of the House too. So now McCain (almost waving the white flag) has moved on to saying that we should fear letting the Democrats have that much control. I say - why the hell not. Lets try something different where can get something done without sooooooo much resistance and bickering back and forth. If they mess it up - I am not above giving them the boot too. Right now the GOP should stop whining about the lack of support from the media, uneven fundraising, voter fraud, and all the other wackness they are bringing up. The simple fact is that they aren't very popular right now - they haven't done much to fight it off - and they have to deal with their own failures.

The endorsement of Gen. Colin Powell was the final nail in the coffin. The "mayday" or S.O.S - the ship is going down. Its over in my opinion. Seems like even the most radical parts of the opposition agree. Today there some neo-nazis were arrested by the FBI for plotting to kill Sen. Obama. If they didn't think he might win - I don't think we would be hearing about that. Don't you agree?

So I say - get out your hammer - your vote. Put the nail in the coffin for the GOP campaign.
