I believe that if after the election in November, the Democrats were able to win big enough to not only control both houses but to get a filibuster majority in the Senate and Obama won, the Electoral College when it came time to cast their vote would cast it for McCain. Anyone with any common sense would realize that Obama being President with the kind of control the Democrats would have in Congress would be the most dangerous thing this country has ever faced. The Far Left would be in the position to do whatever it wanted to do. Their is two things that the Liberals will most likely push through that will be irreversible no matter how costly and damaging they are. One is amnesty for illegals and the other is middle class welfare. Most Americans are not that bright will it comes to voting. They proved that when they elected Bill Clinton to a second term. There are two things about the average voter. One he/she does not consider the long term effects of their vote and two he/she vote on what is best for them personally. Where as the right vote should be based on the long term effects and what is best for the country.

  1. 150 years ago, this would not have even gotten this far.  

    So I cannot answer this.


  2. 150 years ago Barack Obama would not, could not, have been running.  The rest of your question is right rhetorical nonsense which, among other things, ignores the Kennedy-MCCAIN immigration bill which would have what some call amnesty to illegal aliens.  

  3. 150 years ago a black man and a woman would not be allowed to be on the ticket.....

  4. You don't have to go back that far.  If you go back just before televisions became widespread, in every house, you could not have an Obama nomination, much less Presidential election.  The only way a Senator with less than a single full term under his belt, who votes "Present" more than any other person in the Senate, could get nominated is to look good on TV.
