		<description>I&#039;m sure McCain and his advisors have no illusions that she is the most qualified person for the job; this selection is obviously an attempt to appeal to both ersatz Hilary supporters and the religious base of the Republican party. Analysts on the left and the right can agree on this. It could work brilliantly or it could blow up in their faces. It&#039;s too early to tell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But this is what troubles me... I know it&#039;s off-message for the Obama campaign to question a candidate&#039;s motives, but the McCain camp is clearly putting their ambitions against the country&#039;s interests. Here&#039;s a 72 year old man with a repeated history of cancer, and he chooses this clearly unqualified person to be one heartbeat away from the Presidency, from Commander in Chief? Just to win an election? After his disingenuous, misleading claims that Obama would &quot;rather lose a war than a campaign&quot;? It&#039;s mind boggling.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Sure he has. He was leading against Jack Ryan even before it came out that Ryan made his wife Jeri have sex with him a la &quot;Eyes wide Open.&quot; Then, he trounced Alan Keyes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you call that running against a republican.  That was a lucky hand he was dealt.  That hardly constitutes a campaign against a republican, if the republican drops out and the second string team plays the last two minutes of the game.   But yes technically he has run against a republican, sort of. </description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;...but he has never run against a republican.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That would require him to be partisan, and if there&#039;s one thing Barack Obama doesn&#039;t do...oh shit.</description>

		<description>I wouldn&#039;t say he&#039;s peaked.  There&#039;s plenty of room for both candidates stock to increase in value over the next two+ months.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;But that&#039;s something that should be built in to the price of the stock at this point when talking about the race big-picture. Keeping with the stock market terms, I would say a realistic analyst would have to expect Obama to come thru the conventions getting a bigger bump than McCain (what are these guys, pregnant? bumps) and be somewhere around a 5-point lead 10 days from now. Anything else either way would signal momentum.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oboma&#039;s stock has peaked.  Not everyone buys into a rock concert as a reason to vote for Oboma.  He has his hard core supports and they have made up their minds, the independents are still on the fence and they are going to be the ones to determine the outcome of the election.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Oboma looks good against a democratic Challenger but he has never run against a republican.  He is a machine politician that rallies the party fateful but not everyone drinks the same color cool aid.    </description>

		<description>Oh.  Since they&#039;ll probably have to deal with a Democrat Congress I&#039;d hope John talks to his good buddy Tim about how to effectively wield the veto pen.  And that the outgoing president introduces the vice president to his friends Misty and Kerri.  </description>
