Beks, have you every considered producing some facts to back up your opinions, or is tossing out gratuitous insults the extent of your conversational ability? In advance this is not an ad hominem attack, its called a question.
The Republicans WILL get back in! An October Surprise is coming!

Both parties are capable of, and experienced at, political lies and October 'surprises'.
Just take a look at the most recent ads by both sides. One would be remiss to find a shred of contextual fact in most of that. Stay tuned for more of the same. T-minus 30 days and counting....

Jeff I find it.........amusing/ironic/tiresome, that you choose to admonish me for being insulting. Telling someone to wake up and get reading, that someone having called another a dufus. Yes it's me you find insulting. Typical. Telling.

Wait, I'm confused.
I thought the conspiracy theory du jour was that Bin Laden, al Qaeda, et. al., preferred for Obama to win. After all, Obama is a Muslim terrorist in training to be the anti-Christ, right?
So why would there be a terrorist "October surprise" trying to get McCain into office?
Somebody give me a scorecard! I can't keep these conspiracy theories straight any more!

CoonDawg - That's a great article. It should have its own thread.
From the first page: "In its broad strokes, McCain's life story is oddly similar to that of the current occupant of the White House. John Sidney McCain III and George Walker Bush both represent the third generation of American dynasties. Both were born into positions of privilege against which they rebelled into mediocrity. Both developed an uncanny social intelligence that allowed them to skate by with a minimum of mental exertion. Both struggled with booze and loutish behavior. At each step, with the aid of their fathers' powerful friends, both failed upward. And both shed their skins as Episcopalian members of the Washington elite to build political careers as self-styled, ranch-inhabiting Westerners who pray to Jesus in their wives' evangelical churches. In one vital respect, however, the comparison is deeply unfair to the current president: George W. Bush was a much better pilot."

This "October Surprise" prognostication sounds more like fear than prediction.
People have already made up their mind which candidate they desire in office. The "swing" vote about independants is hyperbolic.
Those who hate Republicans/Bush would elect a Socialist domestic terrorist.
Conservatives who fear Socialism would even vote for McCain. (Republicans hate McCain.)
I, personally, would not want the BEST man in office for the next 4 years.
Why?
He is doomed to failure.
Here is how it plays out.
The economy is tattered in ruins. There is no money (it is all spent, borrowed and promised for the next several generations of taxpayers.)
Taxes will necessarily go up (to cover these expenditures and debts.)
Higher taxes will kill the remaining walking corpse of business and unemployment will skyrocket. World markets will teeter on the brink of extinction.
Whomever is President will take the blame NO MATTER WHAT!
Why saddle the "best" man with such failure?
Better to let the "worst" man take the fall and usher in the best man 4 years later.
Obama's entire approach requires an enormous sized government and stinging tax burdens.
McCain's entire approach depends on ousting spenders and ideologues.
Neither policy can work under present circumstances.
Government has failed. Utterly. The majority is Democratic in Congress and they have done nothing beneficial. Bush had his majority the first 6 years and he did nothing (beneficial.)
Neither side has anything to offer but MORE OF THE SAME.
Politics doesn't work.
Where does that leave us?
We have to dig ourselves out from under ideology first and rework our premises.
Government is a false premise.
Hide and watch.

The non-surprise may be that next administration voting policies may get nullified by an ever present and burdensome debt
which will shelve many of the promises they put forth.
One positive note is perhaps the next President will be able to speak coherently and not make himself look like a babbling fool before the population.
