I was just looking through yours - I know this one is old, but wow, I could not agree more. (And as time has passed, the arguments even get stronger, huh?) I find myself praying daily that the Bradley effect really was an artifact of personalities/circumstances/strategies, etc, and is not a reality... Cheers, rachel Hi Jonathan – thanks for the comments on my blog! I was just looking through yours – I know this one is old, but wow, I could not agree more.

I find myself praying daily that the Bradley effect really was an artifact of personalities/circumstances/strategies, etc, and is not a reality…

Cheers,

I just returned from DC where talk is ALWAYS of politics... Unfortunately McCain never looks very 'with it'. While I appreciate that this is due to circumstance, it is noticed by almost all who watch him on a podium. The entire campaign is so staged but its impossible to predict what US voters will do. Dare I say that people often are given the leaders they deserve,though perhaps this only applies to countries where voting is compulsory by law ( Like Australia) Parker looks great and its amazing how fast he is growing. Ill blog again soon. Take care, Jana Great piece of writing and it made me laugh! I just returned from DC where talk is ALWAYS of politics… Unfortunately McCain never looks very ‘with it’.

I couldn't have said it better myself! I do find it so difficult to understand why people support this duo. It must be my closed-mindedness. ;-) Perfect! I couldn’t have said it better myself!

OK, not really. I guess we'll just have to stay and fight. It makes me sad to know that there are so many people who believe this - stupidity. Thanks for your thoughtful post.

It is just crazy and downright scary to me that this team is even taken seriously by ANYONE. And the list goes on, huh?

I completely agree. I watched a few minutes of her speech last night (and then turned it off because I couldn't stomach it) and all I heard her say were snippy comments about Obama. Where is the substance??? Excellent post Jonathan! I completely agree.

I think you have just covered every thought plus a few more I've had these days about the McCain/Palin combo and how strongly I feel about it all. I think what McCain's choice of Palin did, which I do not think they anticipated, is fire a lot of us up a whole lot more than we already were. I watched the speech last night - and yelled at my TV a lot. I'm sure exactly the same thing will happen tonight. I have read more about all of this in the past week than I had probably the six months prior, and I felt I'd already been pretty obsessed. I have never felt so strongly about the outcome of an election before, and you've brilliantly outlined exactly why! Jonathan, I love you and I love this post!
