Obama falling hard

The thing is, he literally can't. His fingers have lost some dexterity from his war beatings.

Good job Democrats! That's gonna blow over well.

I call bulls*** on that excuse. McCain is a guy that likes to be in control. Using email puts him under someone else's thumb to actually sit and listen to what gets sent to him. McCain has little to zero patience for anything out of his control.

It was reported 8 years ago.

McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan - Ted Williams is his hero - but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.

Six months ago, no one would have pegged McCain as the most cybersavvy of this year's crop of candidates. At 63, he is the oldest of the bunch and because of his war injuries, he is limited in his ability to wield a keyboard. But McCain's job as chairman of the Senate commerce committee forced him to learn about the Internet early on, and young Web entrepreneurs such as Jerry Yang and Jeff Bezos fascinate him.

They have specialized keyboards for people with handicaps like his, and they are affordable. If he so desired he could use the modified keypads.

For the first time, http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ , has McCain leading in the electoral vote 272 - 266. Pretty much all of the polls show Obama in decline and I don't think this is just a convention bounce.

Thanks for telling us what you thought.

This is an easy fix. All McCain has to do is end the biggest economic crisis in our country since The Great Depression, reverse record job losses, unemployment, foreclosures, cost-of-living increases, and tax-payer funded corporate parachutes.

He has 6 weeks. Plenty of time.

They're ducking the real shit falling in the wake of the financial collapse caused by the Bushwhackos criminal deregulation of the investment markets and failure to use any remaining regulations to oversee the criminals running the store and bailing with their golden parachutes while robbing the American taxpayers blind.

They're ducking further because, a few weeks ago, McCain told us econmics isn't his "strong suit," and until a couple of days ago, he was telling us the fundamentals of the American were strong, and he would continue the Bushwhacko's criminal agenda with advisors like Phil Graham.

McCain's McShame is that he really is more of McSame. :thumbsdown: :|

They're trying to figure out a catchy name for the recent polling ... something like "it's only Obama's post RNC convention bounce rebound effect" or something lame like that. They really set themselves up for failure when they pimped McCain's #s at the absolute highest possible point they could ever reach right after the convention. Nowhere to go but down. I still don't care about the national polls too much yet, but the state polls are just as, if not more, encouraging anyway.

This was despite my admonishments that the numbers were inflated, that Palin was going to become irrelevant, and that Obama had too much infrastructure in the battleground states. I repeated this to the Profjohn types a million times and they still kept posting the same junk.

There's also Dragon Naturally Speaking IIRC. Not sure how it works, but we had a lot of handicapped people in our division (municipal government). One appeared paralyzed, had her own 'aide'.

Bleeding stopped :0

Looks like Hillary is getting serious.

She'll be holding a conference call with 2,000 of her primary campaign captains from around the US to start a mobilization for Obama.

lol, yeah. This thread is pretty funny. It's still not even close to a sure thing for Obama but maybe it will stop people from embarrassing themselves saying a swing in the polls is a fundamental shift in the election.
