So if Obama takes it in '08, which he has a very good chance of doing, since McCain is cutting his own throat by butt****ing his Conservative base, what will you say?
1.) Conservatives will vote for McCain who's pro-life and anti Gay Marriage before they'll vote for liberal obama.(Especially if he adds Huckabee as his VP)
2.) McCain has TONS of experience on foreign diplomacy and lawmaking. Obama has none.
3.) McCain was right about the troop surge, and although continuing the Iraq war sucks and is his worst campaign policy, he's tough on terror and people will respond to that.
4.) Obama has won lots of states, true. But just those states Dems. Many of those states are pretty assured to go Republican in the general election.
5.) The side issues (Obama's pastor, his wife's remarks, friendship with terrorist William Ayers) are kinda silly to me, but many will not vote for him over John McCain, the war hero maverick who's often reached across the isle and defied the prez and conservatives.
6.) I expect Obama to get owned in the debates. Really, I do. McCain will be less flowery and speak slower, but he'll have some substance behind what he says.
In the end, you'll have a repeat of this:
