As I mentioned last week… 75,000 turned out to see Obama in Portland.
Different story for McCain as he has just cancelled his fund raising event with President Bush at the Pheonix Convention Center scheduled for Tuesday because of poor ticket sales and a fear that war protesters would out number convention attendees.
The McCain campaign feared a media disaster. Rightly so.

McCain, unlike Bush II, apparently finally came to his senses and realized that Hagee and Parlsey are dangerously insane, I would speculate possibly with some help from Lieberman.
Any God that claims the holocaust as part of his plan reflects on the moral character of his worshippers.
Word around Phoenix has it that the order to change venues didn’t originate from the McCain side and that the “no press just a private party” thing is a load. Instead, the White House decided to bail because of a severe lack of mojo.

The Republicans are in much more of a panic than FoxNews would have anyone realize. The pure number of voters in the Democratic primary compared to the Republican primary (even when both were horse races) are so completely lopsided for the Democrats that the RNC has given up on the independents and have started whipping up the base.
McCain won’t concede the center just yet, but when the campaign of attrition ends for Obama, his polling numbers will start to climb. At that point we’ll see McCain draping his arm over Pat Robertson or some other darling of the evangelical right in an attempt to get the old base involved. Like William said, McCain doesn’t inspire much of anything out of anyone except to sit on the couch come election day.
I’ve done my due diligence on Obama, and I don’t care about his youth (or “inexperience”), it’s his domestic policies. McCain is no better on foreign policy and national security. Hillary will say anything if it gets her into the Oval Office, even if she has to take the GOP Vice-Presidential bid and shoot McCain January 21st.
I’m not a single issue voter, so what are those like me to do come election day when our ideals are split between the tickets? I can’t just be about the excitement around the candidate can it?
