McCain vs Obama in a debate

Do y'all think Senator McCain would stand a chance in a debate with Senator Obama? How about against Senator Clinton? I don't think McCain stands a chance against either of them. We're headed for a Democratic President to take office in 2009.

Yes sir we are, I post my arguements against it , but for a republican to wim office after 8 yrs of a Rep, is just historicly a no go...same as when Dems are in for 8 yrs. I am putting my money in a sock, taking cash jobs, saving up for a rainy day, cause they are coming. The company I work for actually is holding back its growth this year to 18% after 5 years of 32% because they are preparing to have to pay higher taxes. That is just sad...

Dont count McCain out.

Most people didnt think he'd even get to this point. Most people were expecting Romney, Huckabee or Giuliani (remember him?) to get the nomination.

To me, Obama is like a boxer with a "glass jaw". The right punch will drop him to his knees, and expose him as being overrated. I think McCain is more than capable of getting it done.

This is the very reason that we are losing jobs, and the liberals want to blame the rich and rob them.

Many, if not most, of us are currently there bro...have been for nearly two years here. We're about to loose all we own. You'll live. Go back to school and learn some valuable skills to keep you viable in the markets. That's what I'm doing.

McCain's a phoney conservative who's only offering "Bush III". He's not even his own man. Obama would mop the floor with him.

I'll put it to you this way: I will most likely not vote for President this election. I don't like Mc Cain one bit.

So, you'd rather have 4 and maybe 8 years with a Clinton in office?

McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts simply because the cuts were not balanced out with less spending. That was his issue and he was right about that.

There is also the matter of maturity and experience. This is McCain's biggest gift to the Clinton campaign. An Obama-McCain contest would be seen as a match of inexperience against old age. Obama hopes to win this competition by invoking the spirit of John F. Kennedy. What he forgets, however, is that Kennedy was swept to power on the crest of the baby boom, when the largest group of voters was in its twenties. Today these boomers are in their sixties or seventies - and will not take kindly to the charge that Mr McCain is too old to be president. Given the high propensity to vote among the elderly, this election will not be decided by a baby boom but by a senility surge.

Voters loyal to President Bush also see in McCain a man who stood firm on the Iraq war. Voters who dislike Bush see a man who criticized the president on the conduct of that war. This is useful.
