McCain starts general election phase at decided disadvantage
Obviously, it’s early March. We’re nowhere near knowing who the Democratic nominee is going to be, and the candidates have barely begun trying to destroy one another. The Republican Attack Machine is still sharpening its fangs. The Republican nominee is just now starting to consolidate his party’s various factions.
But with all of those caveats in mind, John McCain nevertheless starts the general election phase of the campaign at a decided disadvantage.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) kicks off his general-election campaign trailing both potential Democratic nominees in hypothetical matchups, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) leads McCain, who captured the delegates needed to claim the Republican nomination Tuesday night, by 12 percentage points among all adults in the poll; Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) holds a six-point lead over the GOP nominee. Both Democrats are buoyed by moderates and independents when going head to head with McCain and benefit from sustained negative public assessments of President Bush and the war in Iraq.
A lot can and will change over the next eight months, but this national poll points to a landscape that isn’t favorable to McCain at all. Americans are deeply unsatisfied with the war in Iraq and a faltering economy — and the GOP candidate is on the wrong side of both.
And then there’s the awkward subject of McCain’s age.
It hasn’t really drawn too much interest in the campaign, at least not yet, but McCain, at age 72, would be the oldest president ever elected. Americans don’t seem to love the idea. For example, poll respondents were told that Hillary Clinton would be the first female president. 20% said that makes them more enthusiastic about her candidacy, while 11% said less. They were told that Barack Obama would be the first African-American president. 16% said that makes them more enthusiastic about his candidacy, while 11% said less. And when told about McCain’s age, 4% said that makes them more enthusiastic about his candidacy, while 27% said less.
Certain fundamentals in this campaign can shift in the coming months, but McCain isn’t going to get any younger.
McCain also appears to have an ideological problem: “McCain is losing three in 10 conservatives to either Obama or Clinton, far more than he likely could stand to see slip away. Democratic presidential candidates since 1988 have won 15 to 20 percent of conservatives, not 30 percent.”
On a related note, 56% of Americans said Obama is “about right” ideologically, while only 41% said the same of McCain.
As for the Dems, the fight over electability will surely continue unabated. In general, most recent polling shows Clinton and Obama leading McCain in general-election match-ups, and in nearly every instance, Obama enjoys a stronger margin. The WaPo/ABC poll is no exception — Clinton beats McCain by six; Obama beats McCain by 12. Make of this what you will.
Bottom line: assuming Dems play it smart in the coming months, the party has to be considered the favorite to win the White House. Of course, the likelihood of these guys playing it smart is remote, so I’ll keep my optimism in check.
First, you whores
If Democrats lose this election, we deserve to lose.
I'm sure that a press release will be put out by the McCain campaign stating that he is now using Dick Cheney's doctor.
Perhaps the GOP will schedule a televised full medical exam of McCain on FOX News, including up close and personal segments of his hernia and prostate examinations.
Hillary or Barack will beat McCain.
If they wind up being running mates so much the better.
Maybe the Republicans are fully embracing McCain's age, just wanting a mannequin who won't be too actively involved... he's some kind of Reagan/Bush hybrid. And yes, deezus is absolutely right. If McCain wins, the Democratic party should just dissolve itself totally.
Still, when it comes down to gut time in the booth, how many will abandon the polite demeanor shown to the pollsters and vote for the white war hero guy?
Liberal AND Proud @ 3:
And they can do a companion piece on GW Bush based on the Pretzelnit's DNA sample taken from McCain's ass.
Like Bill Maher said....
If its Obama vs McCain....
"Then its youtube vs feeding tube"....
mr.ed @ 6:
It's a known fact that in a general election black candidates receive roughly 8% less votes than what was predicted by the polls.
I'm not sure how women fair, but I'm sure they probably score less than polls also.
Remember America, complacency is very dangerous.
Go to the polls, make you vote count.
Liberal AND Proud @ 9:
Still, Obama wins by 4 points.
1992 ... "It's the economy stupid !"
2008 ... "It's IRAQ you moron !"
Bangkok Bob ☻ @ 10:
Dems are showing up at the primaries at rates 2 or even THREE times as many as Republicans.
It's over.
McCain has a lot to contend with at this stage. The so called Conservative movement is no longer in "lock step" as the one we all saw years ago. Each faction of it if you will has become so extreme and closed minded regarding particular individual issues that they can not come together behind a single candidate like McCain. McCain's "Liberal" social views simply turn away many social Conservatives who otherwise like his stance on foreign policy. Conservative foreign policy hawks absolutely love McCain and could care less about his social views. This is why they attacked Huckabee so forcefully because he lacked any foreign policy experience.
What brought them together on mass back then was their hatred for anything Bill Clinton or Liberalism in general since during that time it was all fresh in their minds. Today, Bill Clinton and Liberalism happened 8-9 years ago and the smears they used back then to great effect to rally the Conservative base is having little to no effect today because of it. In addition, they have to contend with a whole host of Conservative failures that we have all seen these past seven years. That is a lot to overcome and I doubt McCain has the Conservative charm and charisma to win them all over come November.
That photo of bush and McCain yesterday should be all the dems need to win.
Joe O. @ 13:
When William F. Buckley Jr., the 'Father of Modern Conservatism' , recently died, we heard several references to the fact that he was no fan of George W. Bush's current policies, including the Iraq fiasco. Pretty telling no ?
The debate will rage for decades.. which did George W. Bush destroy more, the Middle East or the Republican Party ?
I think it would be a good idea for you american voters to start accentuating the positives of both candidates to voters in a pre campaign kind of way. Walk around as though one person or the other is the right candidate, and if a voter challenges you that they like one or the other better, just say I'm for both, and here's why they are both better than McCain.
pissed off patricia @ 14:
Yes, and I loved the WorldWide coverage of bush looking as stupid as possible with his little dance routine and shuffle, that went over real big here in the Ex-Pat community. A huge groan was heard.
While these polls are encouraging, we know that the popular vote doesn't always determine the winner. I like Rasmussen's electoral college update, which shows Dems with 284-229 lead (25 tossup) if the vote was held today.
This is without a presumptive nominee on the Dem side, with the candidates attacking each other daily while McCain hosts barbecue photo ops.
What's it going to look like when either Obama or Clinton start focusing on taking down McCain, and not each other?
Chico @ 15:
The lackey's of the MORON factor (28%rs) will bring back the Republicans faster than the decade or so it may take to repair the damage done to the country.
James @ 16:
Hillary has many positives, that's true.
But she has disqualified herself by running a dishonest, deceitful campaign.
So to point out her positives would be to disregard the fact that, on principle, she has disqualified herself, and plays by the same dirty rules as rove and bush.
A vote for Clinton, at this point, is a vote for the same old corrupt DC, despite her positives on policy.
If the Dems can't beat Mccain-- a crook, who deserved shame and ejection in the 90s with Keating, and has only maintained his seat in the senate because people pity him and the torture he endured-- then we deserve what we get.
and they'll only lose if they put Clinton on the ticket, or if the other half of the country (repugs) are truly insane...
In Almost Every Poll Obama Runs Better Against McCain Than Clinton, So What is Behind Her "Message Point" That She Can Better Beat McCain? Would One Dare Call Senator Clinton's Claim a "Fantasy"? Senator Clinton Will Unite One Party: The Republicans. BuzzFlash3/5
And then you have nonsense like the Canadian government sabotaging Obama's bid for Ohio. Who knows what nonsense Harper's cronies may leak in the months to come?
Texas Political Expert Wayne Slater: "No question that the effort by conservative talk radio to have Republicans cross over and vote for Hillary Clinton had some impact. Of the early vote, some voters -- perhaps 8-9 percent in some places -- were people with a history of voting in Republican primaries in the past." Limbaugh give a boost to Hillary.
ohio progressive @ 21:
My biggest problem with McSame is the vision of him first kissing Falwells ass, and now the other fat-pig bigoted and hateful Hagee. That really shows his lack of guts.
Still, an interesting report from a reader in Dallas:On the local conservative radio stations, many Republicans are calling and complaining about feeling “disenfranchised." Apparently, they didn’t realize that by implementing Rush Limbaugh’s strategy of voting for Hillary in the Primaries to prolong the Democrats fist-fight, they would not be allowed to vote for any of the Republicans on the rest of the ballot.

If the Democrats loose this election, it's because of the Diebold factor.
Bangkok Bob ☻ @ 17:
Imagine what we would think of the leader of any other country if we saw them doing what bush was doing yesterday. Imagine Putin doing something like that. We would quickly say he was either drunk or crazy. Just because bush is the most powerful man in the world doesn't cover the fact that he has no decorum at all.
Shoot my comment didn't get pasted. I just said campaing for the one you like, but be supportive of the one you don't like because McCain is worse.
enor @ 29:
I've said that for over a year. After hearing about
Presidential Directive 51, I'm convinced that the neo-cons are crazy enough to execute it in order to stay in power ( if the gap between McMoron and the Democratic candidate is too big for Diebold to rig).McCain also has a killing American citizens problem .
CheneyIsADick @ 39:
So, what's your guess?
A war with Iran? Unrest in Europe/SA? I'm guessing Pakistan.
The first thing to do is to watch and see who McCain picks as a running mate.
If it's Cheney-redeux (i.e., Tom DeLay, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, et al), if Hillary wins (or steals) the Democratic Nomination, this country is in for four more years of tyranny.
And I don't think we can afford that. Obama's doing fine, but he needs to still get his shyt together and keep it together, tight, until Denver, since the Borg Queen is clearly indicating she's going to muck up shyt until this summer.
Despite the fact if after next week, she gets stomped in the primaries and Howard Dean and Al Gore start verbally hinting to her to step down.
Terrible @ 40:
WOW! That IS Terrible.
No way should he get away with that shit!
mr.ed @ 6:
enough for diebold to get er done!
At some point McInsane is going to have to throw Bush under the bus. He hasn't yet because he's still trying to shore up support from the base. He may have to wait till after the convention -- at which point it will probably be too late, my friends.
enor @ 29:
Normally, we'd say you're a crazy conspiracy nut who thinks UFO's are hovering over your house waiting to 'examine' you. But we are not in normal times so we collectively hold our breaths instead.
I have a feeling that McCain is going to pick Lieberman as his running mate.
IgnoranceIsNotBliss @ 47:
Unfortunately, I agree. Lieberman will more than likely be one of McCain's top choices.
Wonder if that GREAT CORPORATE FART CALLED CHRIS MATTHEWS IS LISTENING AFTER PONTIFICATING YESTERDAY THAT McCain WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT
IgnoranceIsNotBliss @ 47:
He may if Hillary doesn't pick him first.
CheneyIsADick @ 36:
Touche'
But, since the Democrats have been in charge of Congress four 2 years, you'd think they could've done something about that along the way.
Bangkok Bob ☻ @ 10:
The way it looks now, go to the polls, and try to make you vote count.
What if McCain waits until the Dem contender is decided, and if Hillary loses, picks her? Not too far fetched. McCain and the Clintons are friends. They have alot in common politically. And really, Hillary is no Dem. She is DLC. Republicans in disguise.
That's not what Brit Hume said yesterday.
A different poll has got McBush ahead.
But then again, thats Faux..er, Fox News.
pendragon @ 54:
90% of polls are made up. The other 10% are guesses.
Getting back to McCain's age problem, there is also the little problem of his having melanoma, with 2 recurrances. The question needs to be asked publicly: "Mr. McCain, have any melanoma cells been discovered in any of your lymph nodes?" Because the chances of melanoma being fatal increase a lot if there is lymph node involvement.
pissed off patricia @ 14:
Here's my commercial for the dems: [Background music: Theme from The Courtship of Eddie's Father, AKA, "People Let me Tell you about my Best Friend"] Several photos of Bush and McCain, esp. with them hugging, on-screen, ending in montage; no voice-over

Perhaps some pictures with Keating,Abramhoff, and some of the lobbyist on his election committee.
Help me with this please...I'm torn between a couple of options. Should it be 'This Ain't No Country For That Old Man'...or, 'This Country Ain't For That Old Man'. Either one will make the point, but I'm still torn.
Another thought...with all the noise from the right about how a prolonged campaign will hurt the Dems in the general election, when should we introduce the 'perfect squelch' of 'None of this matters because this country ain't low enough to reward the Repugs with another four years following the last eight'?
ABAR - Anybody But A Republican
DirtyDawg @ 59:
More to the point:
"No country for young people"
Who is looking out for the future of our nation?
27% of the Bush tax breaks went to 0.6% of the population
$9 trillion in debt
No viable energy alternatives
A war without an exit plan
No country for the young indeed!
The LAST time Dems won (2006) we were all really happy. Now we're all really disappointed. Nothing has changed since '06. Bush still gets anything he wants.
So let's pretend for a moment that the dems actually take the White House. Then what?
What Democrats need to win is passion. Passion is what the the repugs have used to get power for the past ten years. It's about time for Dems to use that emotion if they want to have power again.
deezus @ 2:
I agree 100%. If we can't win this year, then there's little point in trying to muster a real opposition to the GOP.

Before getting too excited with this or any other presidential preference poll, remember that the U. S. elects its president through the electoral college system rather than by the popular vote. As has happened several times in our history, most notably in 2000, the persons receiving the most votes did not become president. Only when pollsters begin providing what the outcome in the electoral college would be if the election were held today should any presidential poll be considered newsworthy.

CafeenMan @ 61:
Disappointed, yes but then again it is understandable. The Democrats hold a slim majority in the Senate and a good portion of the house and even if they could get a bill to pass both the Senate and House Bush would have just vetoed it anyway. What could change, is if we see a larger than majority of Democrats in the Senate and House along with a Democrat as President. If that happens, the Republicans will have little chance to block anything.

because my candidate, John Edwards, did not win the primary
i urge ALL democrats who did not get their first choice to win the primary to stay home Nov 4
i for one will be face down on the carpet kicking my legs and crying... if i don't get my first choice then i quit... i'm grabbing my balls and going home
is anybody picking up what i am laying down... because i am laying it down PRETTY THICK
What a bunch of CRYBABIES... both sides... accomplishing what ONLY THE GOP could pray for... cutting the number of Democrat voters in half, and allowing the "machine shaving" to push the last 5 % difference into a MEDIA CONTROLLED announcement that.... the DEMS did self destruct and that President McCain will be answering that 3a.m. call, when his military announces to him that they have successfully taken Iran.
WHAT A BUNCH OF CRYING DOLTS!!!
PLEASE STOP FOR A MOMENT AND TAKE THIS PLEDGE... GO AHEAD... NOBODY IS WATCHING...
"i" state your name "promise to support WHOEVER is the Democrat nominee, because I am smart enough to see that the STINKING GOP MEDIA is having a great time setting us against each other"
and remember to vote November 4.... because of the HIGH amount of Democrats expected, Republicans are encouraged to vote on November 5.
enor @ 41:
Well, Lieberman, who is chrmn. of the Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs committee in the Senate, recently sent out requests to most major US cities asking them provide information regarding their current emergency response plans in the event a nuclear device happens to explode in their city. So maybe their just scouting around to find the sight for the next 9/11-like "terrorist attack" to ensure the public has the bejeebies scared out of them enough to go along with cancellation of the election.
There are a number of other directives and pieces of legislation, which when considered in the aggregate, seem a little suspicious to me:
- Pres Dir 51: make the Pres responsible for "continuity of government" in the event of a "catastrophic emergency" - essentially overrides the roles of Congress and the courts
- Patriot Act II: puts Homeland Security/FEMA in the lead for handling all logistice regarding said "catastrophic emergency" - I find Chertoff to be among the smarmiest in the administration, when you know his background and how he's risen up in the ranks (but under the radar) you'll likey find him a little scary
- J. Warner Defense Act ('06, maybe '05): kinda' does away with that pesky Posse Comitatus thingy - so now the Pres has carte blanche to enlist the resources of the US military (and National Guard and Blackwater, et al) to do his bidding within the US (say, in the event of a "catastrophic emergency"?)
- Military Commission Act: this is the one that eliminated Habeus Corpus, so now "dissidents" (which likely includes the likes of us) can be hauled off (maybe to one of those lovely FEMA camps that have sprung up) and held indefinitely without the need to bother with arraignments, trials, etc. - helps to keep costs down, I guess.
- The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act: passed in the House like 400 to 10 or something, if (when) passed by the Senate and signed by Bush
(you know he will), he (the Preznit) gets to annoint a Commission to investigate Citizens who are suspected of nefarious doings - kinda' like the McCarthy era - and we know how well that turned out.
These are just a few of the provisions Chney/Bush have put into place to enable them to do their dirty deeds. I still have a hard time believing they will "leave" office without having the fun of utilizing them, for at least a little while. Call me crazy......
Big Dick Cheney @ 71:
I agree with your logic. This is the only way that it can be done. Even if your favorite candidate did not win or dropped out earlier on there is still a lot at stake especially if McCain wins. If the Democrats still hold a majority of the House and Senate we could see more gridlock like we have been seeing since 2006. To break that, the Democrats will have to take the Presidency and maintain their majorities in the House and Senate. Besides, even if one doesn't like Clinton or even Obama as a President it does not mean that either of those candidates can pass bills into law as they please. They may face Democrats who will block those bills if they do not like them. However, if you want to throw out the Repubicans and give them little chance of passing any of their insane bills you are going to have to vote. If McCain gets the Presidency he and the remaining Republicans in Congress and maybe some Democrats will block everything the Democrats want to pass. In other words, gridlock will remain and all of the crying in the world will not change that. Get out and vote. Its the only way.
Then there's that awkward issue for McCain--his brain or lack of one.

Hooray for a close race between Hillary and Obama! McCain has to basically send negative attacks in the media against a two-headed monster, all while being completely overshadowed by the Dems race. The longer this lasts, the better. Many should know the folks who are making front-page news are the people chosen to run the country, based on popularity and familiarity. I tend to be a tin-foil type guy, so I find it beneficial for the Obama campaign for this nomination process to be intentionally stretched, if he ends up getting the nomination, because it can diffuse the issue of inexperience. He could answer the issue by stating he's been through the process for months and months discussing issues with Hillary, and he won over the party, and the public will eat it up like sheep food. According to the collective memory of the public, these next few months will be all the experience a person would need. It would be all they can remember. I root for Hillary, but I love 'em both! Split the ticket with our best and brightest, either way! Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama '08

No damnit! How many times does this man have to say that he is a CHRISTIAN! For people to be afraid of Muslims is insane. Where's all that "courage" that your forefathers talked about? Why are some people soooo afraid of other cultures.
But where's Mitt? Just week ago he was saying he wanted to run some more, wasn't he? Why isn't that happening? Isn't McCain willing to play nice in this sandbox and share some of his delegates with Mittens?
How is Mittens going to keep his fit and rambo-ready sons from enlisting if their dear father is running for the presidency?
I urge McCain to do the humane thing . . . he needs to share some of his delegates with Mittens in order to save the "Mitten's Five" . . . surely McCain can relate to THAT cause . . . .

Yes, there are myraid "excuses" they can come up with/create in order to "protect" us Americans. I have done my homework, and the Internet makes it quite painless. What pains me is trying to help others see the writing on the wall.
I may be incorrect thinking that Cheney/Bush (I always put him first 'cause he's the really evil one and has been planning this crap for decades) will try something before the election to stay in office, but I'd be willing to bet (if I actaully had any money or something of value) that some kind of emergency will arise - if only to keep the Repugs (McCain)in charge. While many folks, encouraged by the media, are busy arguing about Reps vs. Dems, Hillary vs. Obama, who is McCain's VP, etc., the people in the background have already detemined who will be our next "leader," who they intend to have preside over the final gutting of the American economy and our Constitution.
So, yes I'm concerned, and I do not think it matters even a little bit who "gets elected," if there's an election. I do wish more people could focus on the forest and not the trees........

If republicans had any love for the country or the people they would not even run.
After all every problem we have today can be laid squarely at the feet of the republicans. Over the last twenty years they have put forth there insane ideology of corporate rule with out any rules or enforcement of rules, they have used enron style accounting practices in the stock markets, the banking , & housing or mortgage companies.
they have perverted the constitution, twisted the meanings and installed judges that will interpret against the people and for the corporation or the rich contributor.
The republican style of government is dictatorship by fascist and this should be the last we ever hear ofthe republican party. The Greedy old pedophile party.
However, honesty, decency, integrity, and morality, are words that can not be used to describe republicans!
