Colin Powell is "gravitas" personified.

Anyone still think McCain still stands a chance?

Not over till it's over, just remember the Dewy vs Truman election in 1948.

Black on black love.

Black on black love.

So all the white people endorsing McCain is white on white love?

Wow. Just reading around the net this morning is utterly shocking with all the blatant racism being displayed by people on the right who have lost their 'token'.

Though it shouldn't be surprising that this comes from someone who named their Screen name after a proven liar and tax evader.

You remember that..gosh, you're positively ancient.

You don't even have to go back that far. Remember Florida, 2000.

Yes, we know surprise upsets can happen, and the only poll that counts is the one on election day.

I remember it from history class, but I just turned 24.

Yep, it's not over till November 5th.

Seriously? Wow.

If McCain miraculously pulls out a victory, the MSM will explode. It will be so delicious to watch. Let's hope there aren't riots in the streets, however.

[Pilgrim]

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot there's a vast conspiracy of the MSM. Let me see, is it the secret compound in Colorado that they meet at or is it somewhere under the Vatican.

Pa,

If you do not see the bias toward Obama in the media, there really is no hope for you. How about that NYT article on Cindy McCain? How about no articles on Michelle Obama except for one on her career?

Call me when the media does to Obama what they do to McCain.

[Pilgrim]

I've ssen no shortage of crap on both sides. More on Obama around here than anything else and all well sourced from articles all over the place. If you actually think there's some deep deep media conspiracy that's ruling the universe and the government then there's no hope for you.

But you can call me anytime you want. I've got this really great bottle of scotch to share.

True enough. I'm not writing McCain off. I know he's come back when written off many times, including in the current campaign.

I'm just saying the odds don't favor it.

I'm just saying the odds don't favor it.

The odds in favor of an Obama win are so good, the bookies are paying off bets already.
