It’s not a popular opinion, of course, but I’ve never thought Barry could win, even with Big Media in the bag. They were in the bag for John Kerry, too. Even with the polls showing Barry ahead, a few by as much as eleven points. Most have his "lead" barely outside the margin of error. All are using other polling to weight Democrat influence ahead of Republican or Independent. Yet other results consistently show Mac ahead in the "qualified to command" and "ready to be president" categories.
The stock market is dropping like a stone, so the party in power gets the blame for economic troubles, even though unfairly. Barry will win in a landslide. Especially because Mac isn’t attacking enough, but trying to win the gentlemanly way. I still don’t believe it. If ever there was a time for people to vote for the tested, however boring, instead of a novelty act with a compelling demeanor but less experience than a certain maligned governor of Alaska, this is it. Times of great uncertainly call for the tried-and-true, not a sparkling, young neophyte of dubious background.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Sparkling? In what way?
He’s the most boring, porridge-talking lawyer on Earth. Everything he says is a soap bubble – you can’t repeat the summary after 5 minutes, however much attention you paid while listening.
It’s not him I have a very uneasy feeling about – its his handlers, those that projected him throughout all his career.
Projected, or protected? Both, I suppose. He sparkles for those who love his warm smile, and many do. But he comes backed by a corrupt big-city political machine. I don’t expect him to lose in a landslide. Just enough.
maybe the right verb is “erected’
Heh
