How Bush might swing the election for McCain.
According to a report I heard on NPR today, Obama's weakest area is perceived to be national security.
If this remains true, Bush has an opportunity to help McCain steal the presidency.

Right now domestic issues are the most pressing and they are seen as Obama's strong point.
So all Bush has to do is orchestrate a more immediate national defense emergency and it will be easy for Republicans to push McCain to the forefront.

Now I wonder how Bush might manage this? Hmmm. Any ideas?

Wait a minute! A name comes to mind. It starts with Ira-.

Ira Gershwin? Naw. He's dead.
Ira Glass? Don't think so. He's too transparent.
Couldn't be Iraq, we're already there.

What other name starts with Ira-? Hmmmm.
I wonder.

1. Sure- and after "Ira" comes our friend Marshall - spelled a bit differently -
Martial's last name? You guessed it-- LAW! Not only would this move McCain up to the head of the class, but this could delay the election until they had their agenda in order. For many of us, this is a huge concern.

11. The federal goverment can't suspend electionsq
the Federal Government doesn't hold elections.

If I believed DU, the elections in 2002, 2004 and 2006 would've been canceled. It's somehow a sign of liberal credibility to espouse the most nonsensical ideas.

3. McCain won't bomb Iran, he'll bomb Persia
Considering his recent statements about Czechoslovakia.

7. Have you ever considered the possibility
that the neocons WANT a Democrat in the WH. That is the reason McSame is the nominee. They dont want to win. They want to be able to blame the shitstorm that is coming on a Democrat.

10. You may have a point there.
And they expect things to go so horribly wrong that they will get another shot at running the country in a few years.
