Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin will win the election on November 4, 2008 – a date of defeat that will sear itself into the Democratic Party’s collective consciousness.
Ultimately, John McCain will defeat Barack Obama, not because he is Ronald Reagan (for sure he isn’t even close), but because a majority of likely American voters don’t believe or trust Obama.
Personally, I think John McCain is going to win, and I’m not talking about a hanging-chad squeakeroo. No, I think it will be a blow-out for McCain.
Is McCain destined to win a lonely victory at the political pinnacle, while other Republicans sink further into minority status in lesser competitions? The answer, to be blunt about it, is probably “yes.”
Conservatives are anything but excited about our candidate. He has a list too long to bother with on why Conservatives don’t care for him. The reason he will beat Obama has everything to do with how radical Obama is.
Amid dire reports about the toxic political environment for Republican candidates and the challenges facing John McCain, many top GOP strategists believe he can defeat Barack Obama — and by a margin exceeding President Bush’s Electoral College victory in 2004.
Talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh says that Sen. John McCain will score a stunning upset over Sen. Barack Obama and win the presidency on Nov. 4.
In an interview with London Telegraph correspondent Nigel Farndale published Friday, Limbaugh said the mainstream media has been pushing Obama’s candidacy because “They want to be able to say they did it if Obama wins.”
To which Farndale countered, “Well, he is going to win, isn’t he?”
Limbaugh’s response: “No, I don’t see it Nigel. I think [Obama has] been dead in the water since the primaries."
Still wrong about everything.

Have fun, shows all front pages (lot of them)
Hey,BT, look’s like you’ve got an extra “‘ve” in your title (We’ve should’ve). Unless you’re being colloquial or something.
Otherwise, nice post.
FunnyDiva
Happy Schadenfreude Day!
There, RedState, fixed it for ya. Asshole.
You’re right, Diva - thanks.
Damn, typed the R word. Now I gotta go wash my hands.
Thanks BT
The Fascists forcast like our local weather forcasters..they use the wrong models.
Thanks to everyone here for helping to keep me from looking like an IDIOT for the next year or so:

Enjoy.
Good thing those fools aren’t forecasting the weather.
FOX website commenter wants to assassinate Obama
wonderful! i love em
Didn’t want to register to read it but this bozo just won a free visit from the Secret Service. It’s not like they can’t retrieve this clown’s IP address or anything. Sheesh.
The Republics should be celebrating today. They have effectively achieved their dream of becoming a regional party from the South. Mission Accomplished!
2,978?
Yeah, that’s probably low.
The wingnuts quoted are truly crazy. Did they pay any attention to the polls?
Anyone here have any insight into the Alaska senate race? Stevens was trailing by up to 20 points after his conviction and now leads- sounds suspicious to me.
crooks & liars has it
Shouldn’t it be Chapter MMVIII? 2008?
Call me touchy, but here’s something I do not want to hear again:
A caller to the local talk radio station asking the electoral college expert “what happens if the winner passes away before the inauguration…”
Or Rush Limpballs signing off his show with a toss-off to his dittoheads that if they’re fearful, do what they gotta do…as he did Friday.
What are they thinking?!
I also don’t want to hear pundits saying now Obama’s going to have to appease this or that demographic constituency.
And, y’know, I don’t need anybody else to tell me he’s the first black president. I know. I voted for him. I also voted for him because he was the first post-Vietnam president candidate. We need to move on, and now we can.
In addition to end-running Washington lobbyists, would it be too much to say that we also have had enough of the same ol’ same ol’ punditocracy. There’s a whole lotta people who oughta be run outa Washington beyond the Rethug wing and Big Anything lobbyists.
Let’s clean the whole cesspool out so we can make this fresh start uninfected.
What are they saying today?
You are assuming that some of these clowns are capable of logical or rational thought.
No, it’s not a year. It’s a chapter, as in a long ass book of wingnuttia.
Polls, based on empirical data and analysis, have a liberal bias.
The Wizard of Washington
Okay. 2008 chapters of batshit crazy wingnutz is plenty…
Hmmmm…let’s see here, Nobel Prize for Economics. Professor at Princeton. Ph.D from MIT. Could someone’s “qualifications” be any better for Treasury Sec or Fed Chair?

If we get a bunch of Clinton re-treads again in his Cabinet, Obama will be limping out of the gates.
Reality seems to have a liberal bias, too.
Yeah, what was I thinking?
I love the smell of (political) napalm in the morning. It smells like victory!
So let me get this straight. NC voting in a Democratic Governor, Bev Perdue, a Democratic Representative, Larry Kissell, and a Democratic Senator, Kay Hagan constitutes a Republic celebration? I don’t think so!
Dream on.
The come back kid was a day late and a couple of hundred million dollars short.
What little is leaking out of Obamaville is that we can expect a few of the best and brightest from Clintonville, but lots of fresh faces and bipartisanship.
I was asking these questions about Mc$hame’s health as well.
The answer at this point is that the party would choose the new nominee. After Jan 20, it would certainly be Biden.
Re Fox and the e-mailer who suggested assassination - the AGs and the Secret Service can no longer ignore these threats. Obama is the president now and to threaten is a federal crime.
Er, Obama is not the president now, but I’m sure the feds will go after the culprit.
and while we’re piling on:
The thing that bothers Republics the most today is the realization that they never finished getting images of Roosevelt and Kennedy off of dimes and half dollars.
President Elect will be his title until Jan 20, 75 days but who is counting
Yes, guess it just seems the same to me. Nevertheless, it is a crime and they have to take it more seriously now. By the way, has anyone seen our has-been prez today or is he continuing to hide in the WH?
OMFG.. who are these doofuses. Go away, rethugs. You managed somehow to accommplish the impossible and lose Indiana, Virginia and probably North Carolina ’cause your corrupt machine drove the country into the ground and Joe the Tinker, Joe the Tailor, Joe the Soldier and Joe the Spy all want to nail your venal excuse of a political party to the wall and unload their plentiful firearms into it. Enjoy the wilderness, and don’t even try to come back.
How do we go about lobbying Obama to make sure he picks someone like Robert Reich for the top economic spot rather than the neo-liberals like Rubin?
The NetRoots played a HUGE role in his campaign, it’s time to exert our influence.
We should find a handful of key cabinet positions we consider absolutely crucial to have a genuine progressive and start applying pressure immediately.
W made an actually pretty decent congratulations statement.
These GOPers spent the whole campaign sitting around staring at portraits of Ronald Reagan and wishing he was still alive. He is dead, will stay dead, and so is their party.
Podesta, who was here at FDL a few weeks ago, is running the transition team. Is he accessible?
So much fun to read those! Thanks! hhahahahhahahahahahaha

Has anyone on this thread who can read this thing reported it to the Secret Service?
LOL!
pj med should just go back to bed!
*giggggggle*
And did you think a little ol election would stop them??
The Dish is reporting Malkin
is alreadyat it..is a nothing without attacking the Left.And to prove the GOP doesn’t think it was their style that screwed them, they’ve already began new attack ads. The National Review just aired one going after the “new liberal majority” AND the ‘liberal Republicans’ who help them.
Is that why Luger was the first out of the chute this morning with “I don’t want no stinking appointments in an Obama Administration!”
Soo, it’s war is it??
i assume crooks & liars did. i got it from them
I break lurk status to say schadenfreude fkna
For a few minutes anyhow..eight fucking years of bullshit gives me that right eh hosers
Back to my corner with great thanks to all here, you/we worked hard for this moment in history and I am eternally grateful, we were all a party to it- and goddamn that makes me proud.

Also Bill Richardson.
