I see the democratic party as being in disarray.

they won congress last time and promised "change"
nothing happened.
the last election was PATHETIC. The media had setup Bush as the worst possible candidate, Kerry received record POSITIVE coverage. How the hell could Kerry NOT have won in 2004?

polls show the democratic candidates as having a slight advantage over McCain. This is of course before the dirty smear process has happened. The whole pastor incident, and Obamas inexperience - a 2 year political career in which most of it was spent campaigning, will be his downfall. Clinton isn't exactly the most favored of people either. Immagine the "if you can't control your husband how will you control a nation" smearing. Or let's not forget the whole illegal campaign issue with peter paul. You think the republicans won't be on that, the largest campaign fraud issue in American history?

McCain on the other hand only really has one flaw - he is a closet democrat. He panders to the left. The guy has threatened to switch over to the democratic side MULTIPLE times and that's a turn off for much of the right wing. But those right wingers sure as HELL won't be voting left of the already too liberal McCain.
