Why McCain Won

What happened to an unbiased media?? If McCain wins the election he deserves it - because he is honorable, intelligent and a proven leader - not that America is indecent and racist. If Obama were a republican I would be voting for him.

Not funny. Do not write it, terrible. How about what would happend after McCain/Palin gets in the White House? Disaster, end of the world -war- and the great, great depression. Maybe even the reinstitution of slavery.

Are reporters attempting to compensate for their earlier failures by campaigning for the Democrats? They're peddling the same crap to us -- it's just wrapped up in a blue ribbon this time. Did it ease the author's conscience to imply that an Obama loss would mean that our nation is full of racists? Perhaps we should slap a scarlet "R" on anyone who votes for McCain; it can stand for both "Republican" and "Racist" (what's the difference, right?). I've despised the GOP throughout my entire adulthood, but the Democrats are working hard to catch up. Both parties are full of hypocrites who manipulate their alleged ideals to score points in the Hate Game. They vilify every American who dares to disagree with them, and then they lament our lack of unity. ... Who wins?

And this from his lap dogs? Come on now, Nobama's astroturfing aside. Read this article and then Mr. Boomer, tell me you are comfortable with him.

I agree!
It is disgusting Mr. Alter made such racial statements. Let???s discuss Mr. Alter???s accusation about Obama???s skin color being an excuse for his losing the election. Mr. Alter provides no source material backing up any of his statements so it is my belief Mr. Alter is attempting to provide a racially biased excuse, ahead of time, for Obama???s possibly losing the election. Mr. Alter refuses to accept the fact Obama might lose because of his back grounds and beliefs. Skin color is no reason to elect or to not elect a person to office. Mr. Alter apparently believes it does or he wouldn???t have authored such a racist article. Mr. Alter cited the NEWSWEEK article about whether America is ready for a black president.
It is my firm belief America is ready to elect a president of any color when one is placed before the America electorate who is qualified for the job and deserves it. I would have voted for the Rev. Alan Keys, Colin Powell, or Condalisa Rice if any of them had been placed on the ticket. So I say to Mr. Alter ??? if the idiotic political parties of this country would place honest decent candidates before the electorate we will elect - black, brown, or any other color - the person we deem best for the job. We won???t however be intimidated into voting for someone because a bunch of pin head liberal journalist wants to accuse of us being racist.
Mr. Alter, by the content of this article, seems determined to have Obama elected solely because of his skin color.
I noticed Mr. Alter didn???t discuss other reasons why Obama might not be elected. Mr. Alter didn???t want to elaborate on those other reasons. There is fact ???Obama is anti-white and I site the fact of Obama's attending the Rev. Wright's church for over twenty years as proof of that. He listened to that vile hate speech and denies it has affected his philosophy or thinking. There was no mention of Obama???s dealings with some of the shadiest characters in the country. What about his anti American philosophy? What about Obama???s denial that he is or has ever been a Muslim? What about those things is Mr. Alter afraid to discuss? Has Mr. Alter ever asked any real questions about Obama???s character? I doubt it because it is my opinion, from the content of this article that all Mr. Alter can see is Obama???s skin color.
Exactly what point was Mr. Alter trying to make when he said ??? They assume that the original sin of American history???enshrined in our Constitution???cannot be transcended. ??? My question to him is, was that the sin of irresponsible journalist expounding about the journalist constitutionally guaranteed right of freedom of speech to call we the public racist because we refuse to vote the way they want us to? What about our freedom to express our beliefs? Mr. Alter was way out of line with this article and if what Mr. Imus said on the air was wrong and deserving of his termination then Mr. Alter is way out of line and should be terminated also.

In 2004, Mr. Obama gained sudden fame and fortune: his convention speech drew a nationwide standing ovation, he won a Senate seat, and he signed a multimillion-dollar book contract. Flush with cash for the first time, he made two financial decisions that cast doubt on his reputation as an anti-corruption crusader. He set up a blind trust for his investments, but sloppily so, managing to put thousands of dollars into a biotech company that was developing a drug to treat avian flu just as he pushed for federal financing to battle the disease.

The only time Mr. Obama slips from ???his normal cool self,??? said Marty Nesbitt, a close friend, is ???when something surprises him.???

Well he should not expect many surprises as President.

I agree this scenario is possible. I think Obama needs to paint a picture of what it would be like to have McCain and Palin in office just like they are trying to paint a picture of Obama in the white house. I also think we might see the Bradley effect come into play. On the street talking to white folks they are resistent to voting for a black candidate for president especially the 55 an up group. We can only hope that the younger voters turn out, but as stated in the article it hasn't happened in the past. All we can do is hope it goes well for Obama and hope that the polls are correct.

This is what I believe a McCain/Palin victory would look like: Like the George W. Bush/Dick Cheney government has looked like for the past 8 years.

Strong arming to get their way.
Religious intolerance.
Greed and graft in a big way.
Government contractors getting very rich on our tax money.
Not enough money for education.
Warring with every country that doesn't agree with us.
Lying to the American public.
Spying on the American public.
Changing or ignoring laws that don't agree with what they want to do.
Calling everyone who doesn't agree with them a traitor.

I could go on and on--but...... Anyway, I hope that we, as a people, are smarter than that, but sometimes I doubt it.

Just vote, but vote responsibly.

Blah Blah blah....wow another article laying the foundation for if Obama loses it is because of race, not because of socialism, not because of his associates, not because of the fact that Americans cannot trust someone who is not honest about himself...No..it has to be race. Whatever!

I certainly agree with PAtoTN comments. Fannie & Freddie had to loan home mortgages to everyone and anyone, regardless. I never got that break. Yes, I am a bit concerned that it is "all Bush's fault". That is so ridiculous.

So, get a GED!

In response to Ariziowa, a similar percentage of African Americans voted for Kerry, Clinton and Gore and you didn't accuse them of racism then. Maybe they are just smart for not voting for Bush.

By the way, Mr. Alter, how many black "LIV's" as opposed to white voters? Of course, Obama has more money that God, and so HE will make certain they will vote (early & often)

After electing an incompetent President Bush TWICE, I wonder if the Americans can be trusted with a full fledged democracy. One should take voting responsibility seriously and not just vote for someone that looks and sounds like them. I want a President smarter than me, and one who can think rationally and dwelve several layers into complcated issues. That doesn't make me feel comfortable with Palin / McCain. The level of intellectualism coming from their camp reminds me of the current administration.
