That being said, I still don't see how McCain wins, it's going to be nearly impossible.

Americans are conservatives...and the Dems picked a really lousy candidate last time (Kerry). Do you think the polls would be more favorable for the Dems right now had Hillary won the primary?

Of these, about 55 million are registered Republicans. About 72 million registered Democrats.

About 42 million are registered as independents, under some other minor party or with a "No Party" designation.

So, technically there are more people who actually call themselves Democrats rather than the Republicans, but the Indies really decide.

I agree though, I'm really surprised that I'm even worried that McCain might win. I don't know what it is, the Republicans are just good at rallying their base who will vote for them no matter what the circumstances. Obama should win and it should be a blowout, but it won't be.

Sorry Jason, but I don't count those as resources for your "blood for oil" claims. Please try again.

You make a valid point, but you have to admit those were damn funny!
