Do you think that Obama is going to win because the Republicans have such a bad candidate?
Why did John McCain make his final argument against Obama… coal?
That’s his closing argument? William Ayers, Rev. Wright, spreading the wealth, Born Alive, meeting dictators without preconditions, etc. all have to take a back seat so that McCain can go to Colorado and New Mexico to talk about coal? Does this more or less explain why he’s going to get his clock cleaned Tuesday?
Monique, a Leaf fan, originate this absolutely earnestly to believe. Now, let me regarding out that this was in no way an undertake to glory one together is more wisely than the other. It was objective a goal to glory two things.
