Polls dont' matter, cept when Mac is ahead!

My point was this: One of the reasons for justifying going into Iraq was the heinous things that Hussein did to his own countrymen, and the fact that he had the supposed WMD's. I'm saying that we didn't get involved in other equal or more horrible mass murders...........but had there been a barrel of oil or two in the mix...........

Absolutely correct...but what is your point, we need oil, we don't need the sands of africa. So what if we are trying to stabalize an area that we send 700 billion dollars to each year (for oil purchase).

"we don't need the sands of Africa"

You really meant to say 'we don't give a damn about the people of Africa'.....right?

No, but its telling that that is the first thing that came to your mind.

Neither McCain nor Obama are on the relevant committee, where the actual compromise bill will be hammered out. Until the bill is out, the only thing McCain or Obama could do in Washington on this issue is hold photo-ops.

That's right. The entire congress is just sitting by the door waiting for the committee to emerge with the bill in hand. No one could possibly be doing anything to influence what's on the bill, except the people sequestered in that room, who have no contact with the outside world, except through the sandwich waiter.

I think you're saying this seriously, aynrand--not sarcastically.

It is not exactly true about the committee being the only ones with any say in the matter. Those on the committee are for the most part, all pretty much like-minded. There are, however, a large bunch of House Republicans and supposedly, even some House Democrats who either oppose the whole idea of a "bail out" or are pushing a much milder version where the government does not put in money up front, but merely guaranteeing the mortgages in question--similar to what currently is done for VA and FHA mortgages. That sounds like a decent compromise to me. However, Dirty Harry Reid was on this morning claiming the Dems in the Senate would accept no compromise on the basic structure of the thing. Reid was blaming McCain for hardening the resolve of those dissident Republicans. Obama echoed the same line. IMO, if they are successful at associating McCain with preventing the deal--or trying to, that will HELP--not hurt--McCain.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Right Tex. It will help him.

He suspends his campaign to work on the deal...but, then he is associated with it falling apart...yep, that will help him.

How stupid will he look for continuous saying the fundamentals are good, then declaringa state of emergency that requires a bye week for him in the campaign, and then he doesn't solve the problem..after rushing to D.C. like a superhero.

It will only help him in your bizarro world.

Preventing Dirty Harry and Nanny State Nancy from ramming through the mother of all government power grabs, THAT'S what it's all about. That's the way House Republicans see it. I'm not sure whether that's where McCain is at or not.

One minute you are talking about how it will help Mac...now you switch to prevention.

The most recent Gallup poll has Obama at an 8 pt lead 50-42.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Normally I wait a week to post this, but given the VP debate tonight I'd thought I'd do a before look.

Gallup poll has it 48 to 43 Obama. McCain has shrunk the 8 pt lead from just a few days ago. Let's see if Palin can give another boost to the GOP in the polls like the RNC did.
