Now that Barack Obama has opted out of public financing...the dogs of war have been unleashed in the field of campaign finance. With shades of Bob Dole, the McCain campaign so far is not exactly lighting fires and Republicans big hope now is for 527's (independent expenditures) to come indirectly to McCain's rescue. There are only a handful of people in the country who are in a position to put up the kind of money needed to overcome the Obama money Juggernaut and save the country from a slide into a far left abyss, possibly for many years to come. The implications of an Obama victory are potentially stunning, assuming that he will govern as he promised in the primary as opposed to the predictable lurch to the center that he will make for the general. My guess is that he will govern to the left of where he was even in the primary if his personal history and long-time associations are any indication. Too much is at stake. Obama will raise five hundred million and surely others will contribute indirectly to put this campaign over one billion. Likely a first in campaign history.
McCain's vanity is not helping matters with his wasting valuable TV time on silly issues like "Global Warming". His 'no drilling in ANWAR' policy when Americans are paying over $4 dollars a gallon at the pump is also embarrassing. If McCain is to win, it seems, it will likely be despite McCain not because of him.
Indeed, if McCain is to win, it will likely be because people like Adelson decided that the matter is too important to be left up to McCain's vanity, and will take the matter into their own hands and commit the resources needed for victory in what will surely become an all out brawl for the leadership of what is still the Free World.
Below is the Messiah breaking his word to Tim Russert on his commitment to public financing. He then proceeded to lie about "sitting down with John McCain." WOW! The man can just straight out lie not be held accountable. Truly amazing:
Unfortunately, McCain is politically brain dead. And just to prove he's "maverick," given the opportunity he'll turn SCOTUS into a virtual Marxist cell.
