No, wrong, American Pundit. What McCain has is a GW Bush role model, whom he patterned his ideology and policies after. If only he had Rove to manage his campaign. Oh, yeah, that's right, he did for a short while and dismissed that connection replacing Rove with Rove's protoge's.

Talk about your lack of good judgement. I can't help but think that this race would be very difficult to call if Obama were running against Mitt Romney. But, that wasn't in the cards due to his religious denomination affiliation. The GOP shot itself in the foot with its own cultural issues biases. You just can't trust those Republicans with a shotgun, real or metaphoric, I swear.

That's not to imply the Democrats should be trusted with anything loaded either. Obama, if he is to be a great president for his time, will have to battle his own Party in the Congress, who will view this election as a mandate to grab all the cookies from the next generation and spend them now. The national debt is now over 10.5 trillion and growing very, very fast. A Democratic Congress is going to be very tough to rein in on spending issues and force to tow their own Pay As We Go, rhetoric and promises.
