I will be really surprised.

Ed Rollins is one of the great strategic minds of the Republican party and he sees the writing on the wall:

Fifty-six times Americans have gone to the polls to select our presidents. This is the first time two sitting U.S. senators are facing off against each other. It is the first time since 1928 a sitting president or vice president is not a candidate. But two presidents, the incumbent and his immediate predecessor, cast giant shadows over this election season.

The biggest shadow of course is that of President Bush. Our 43rd president's goal in life was to surpass his father, 41, whom he admired but felt was weak.

Guided by his political guru, Karl Rove, it was Bush II's ambition to make the Republican Party the majority party for decades to come. He and Karl wanted to create a political realignment that would marginalize Democrats for at least a generation and maybe more.

Not satisfied to change only American politics, Bush and his neo-con advisers, led by Dick Cheney, wanted to use American military might to spread democracy to places that had been led only by tribal councils and ruthless dictators.

If Bush had accomplished these goals, he truly would have been a historic president much like his newfound hero Harry Truman. But his failures were unimaginable. W will go down in history, all right.

He will leave office with the lowest approval ratings of any president in modern times and will be judged as a catastrophic failure who destroyed his party, left his successor with two unpopular, unfinished wars and left the country in the worst economic condition in nearly eight decades. That's not even counting the Bush administration's inadequate response to Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.

By comparison, his father's failed presidency looks pretty good. Barack Obama has very effectively tied John McCain to Bush and tried to convince voters that electing McCain means four more years of Bush's failed policies...

...

I will vote for McCain, but I do so knowing he has run one of the weakest presidential campaigns in modern times and is probably going to lose big.

I support him because I think he is a courageous man, a tested leader and a man who can direct this country through the tough times ahead. I also believe in what he stands for, even though he has not articulated it as well as I might have liked.

But unless some unforeseen event occurs, I believe McCain's quest comes to an end in a week.

Ad our morally and intellectually bankrupt friends on the Right continue to grasp at Straws...

Jay, a couple of points.

Micky Mouse can not vote.

And when you talk Morality, you need to closely examin your guy ditching his cripple wife for a Barbie Doll Heiress, or Ms. Palin using the power of her office to try and chastise her ex brother in law.

Do you REALLY believe that Obama is a Socialist?
That he is not an American Citizen?
That he is a closet Muslim?
That he is a terrorist sympathizer?

Those arguments stink of a corrupt, sick, Party/Philosophy first attitude that has led to the analysis Rollins speaks of above! Your kind have poisoned political discourse in our country. The blame for the hatred and anger in our country rest squarely on your shoulders. Snake? You people are the snakes. Have you ever seen Anacondas mating ball? A big slimy ball of rutting predators? That is YOU, the Michelle Malkins, Powerlines and other Wingnuts out there who JUST CANT BEAR the idea of losing....

Its not like you dont know that Palin is not qualified. Yeah you know that. You knew it the first time that she sat down for an interview. But then you voted for an idiot two times, so what was the big deal about voting for another one.

You know that McCain does not have a CLUE about how to fix the economy, but that matters less than letting the Lefties run the show.

You claim not to be racist, and yet you secretly wink when that overblown GASBAG Limbaugh claims that Collin Powell's support of Obama is a "black thing."

You guys have lost, try to show a little bit of decency and respect, instead of going out like a bunch of By-ach-es! I dont expect any of you to show class. The only ones on your side with Class, like The Commissar and John Cole, left you a long time ago. Now all that is left is a bunch of bitter losers, and the rancid corpse of your party.
