Why McCain Won

Yes, Americans should invest in IRONY. That stock is though the roof since hockey mom Sarah Palin started strutting her stuff in $5,000 ruby colored shoes.

And the Anchorage Daily News, Alaska's largest paper, has just endorsed Barack Obama for President.

The IRONY stocks go up, up, up!

i question the authors reason for beleiving that the only reason mr obama may loose is because of his color.
He/she seems to think that a white person not voting for him is raciest. What does that say about the black person voting for him only because he is black. I do not beleive in mr obama's views, nor do i beleive in the clinton views (oh my god they are white).

A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government strong enough to take it all away. Thomas Jefferson. Poor people have been voting for democrats for 50 years, and guess what, their still poor.

Regardless of the author's intentions, the main point of the article was that Obama lost the election because of racist americans. This is a ridiculous statement to make. For the author to assume that the only reason Obama could possibly lose is because of racism is as patently blind and partisan as it can be. If the author meant to call americans racist, then shame on him. If the author didn't intend that, then he is just a very poor writer, and shame on Newsweek for publishing the article.

That pretty much says it all. The libs must rely on "Low Information Voters" to win. Isn't "ignorant" a synonym for "LIV"? Pretty sad that they rely on out of touch voters to carry their BIGGER GOVERNMENT/HIGHER TAXES agenda.

Obama has been handpicked by the media to become our next president. The continuous attacks on the McCain-Palin camp are beyond bias, but an assurance of an Obama victory. While I agree race does play a part in voting for or against this candidate, the fact of the matter is his policies will not work on an economic or foreign policy level. The Israelis know better than we do that an Obama presidency is dangerous to their existence. This is not political bantering, but facts. Joe Biden said that Obama will be tested within 6 months, guaranteed. Apparently, they know for a fact what is ahead for us -- perhaps, WWIII, Iran against Israel, with Russia and North Korea fighting along side Iran. It's just a theory, but what else do you think Joe meant?

Talk about ignorance. The editor of this article is on stupid SOB. The only think he is correct about is that Obama probably will win. The reason only because the Left wing LIBERAL media has so avoided printing the facts of both candidates and imposed their slanted views. I and most of my family are Repulicans, I wanted to vote for Obama after hearing his speech 4 years ago. BUT he has so proven that he is Poll driven and changes positions and Friends, Church and whatever to meet the needed appearance. Being Black has nothing to do with it. His history with the ridiculous black church and Rev. Wright, Ayers and ACORN plus his unabatted arrogance have removed him from most people's support (that seek out the truth regardless of the Media hiding it). I have just lost many dollars in my 401K, not because of John McCain but because the Democrats blocked Bush's call(2001) for reform at Fannie and Freddy AND Elizbeth Dole and John McCain's bill in 2005. We don't need more of this kind of leadership and that is exactly where Barrack is!

If Obama is leading in the polls as he is today and McCain wins this white person will be in the streets rioting with many others. If this occurs our democracy is truly lost as the Republicans will have shown they can get away with murder. For those of you who say Obama is a socialist you may want to take a look at your own party members. McCain wants to bail out every homeowner who made a bad decision with their financing and Bush wants to privatize the banks. Throughout this countries history, starting with the founding fathers we have always had some form of wealth redistribution. That is what makes this country great we can find that middle ground that brings the best of capitalism with the best of socialism and everybody flourishes.

This whole article is unecessary. McCain and Failin' are done for.

It takes a Democrat to clean up after a Republinist, just like Clinton did.

We'll do it again and set things right. Republinists are just sh_t_ng their pants cause they know there's no way they can win and they will be the much deserved minority again and WE will make this couintry great again.

First step????????? Neuter all Republinists, or like they say at a Failin' rally, "Kill them."

On our high school grad blog, mostly from the late 1950's and 1960's, reflect Mr. Alter's assessemnt of Obama's poll numbers.
I'll explain quickly. Many of our high school chums now live in the Southeast, or the deep South. Our group has been engaged in ongoing debates about Obama and McCain. Many stated they won't vote for Obama because of (fill in the blanks) he's this or that. The debates never centered around any substantive issues like the economy, the war, etc.
For months, I had asked those opposed to Obama to please provide our group with reasons why any of us should vote for McCain. There were no takers on that challenge.
I lcall myself a progressive, have been all of my life, my father worked for the Henry Wallace campaing in 1948, those are my political roots.
Mr. Alter is correct, I believe, about why and how the pre-election numbers are shifting around as they have. I also agree that the American people will demonstrate to the world that we are a better nation than G.W. has shown.
Being a progressive, I'm alway optimistic that the voters will do the right thing.

How can any American regardless of race political affiliation read this and not feel uneasy. I from this point forward will never read an article published by newsweek, I hope it has an affect.

LOL - once again, the lib. media can't fathom that their candidate can lose. It would be great that, if the 'Fairness Doctrine' is, God forbid, ever reinstituded, it also applie to rags such as Newsweek, Time, NY Times, LA Times, etc.

Guess what Newsweek: not all of us want Socialism in the U.S.; not all of us believe in this grand 'income redistribution' scheme of Obama's. And yes, some of us do believe that who you associate with does matter. (Ayers, Wright, etc.)

MSN, MSNBC, AND NEWSWEEK ARE TRUE JERKS. ALWAYS PLAYING THE RACE CARD. THEY ARE ALREADY MAKING EXCUSES AND LOOKING FOR WAYS TO EXPLAIN THIER LOSS ON NOV.4 THE REASON THEY WILL LOSE IS THAT THEY ARE RUNNING A CANIDATE THAT IS A LIAR,ASSOCIAYES WITH UNREPENTANT TERRORISTS,CROOKS LIKE RESKO AND CAN'T SPEAK A SENTENCE UGH UGH. HE HASN'T PROVEN HE IS A CITIZEN,NO LEGITIMATE BIRTH CERTIFICATE HAS BEEN PRODUCE. WHAT IS HE HIDING????? GET REAL AMERICA VOTE MCCAIN/PALIN

Oh and "spread the wealth?" Memo: It's not YOUR money!!!! What a thought!
