I don't think so. We shall see. The polls still favor Bush, as far as I have
seen.

Well, campaign finance is a HUGE one, for starters. I think the whols system
is gfarbage, and putting the government in more power to regulate it is just
totally foolish. I think there should be no limits on contributions, and
full disclosure on donors. He waffled on taxes, social security, etc. The
press also lifted him up to a god-like status, even though he is a
Republican. The press would also have more control of politics then they
already do, and for the most part, are the left/liberal mind. The refroms
Mccain wanted would have hurt Republican financing, which is both funny and
pathetic.

Well, he didn't portary himself as a reformer, he tried to portray himself
as a outsider, when he isn't. Don't misunderstand, I really respect him, but
he would have gotten balsted just as GWB is now. It doesn't matter who got
it, because the votes in November will tell.

Pitty? Putty? Silly-putty? : )
I think the independant voters thing is overblown, but we shall see.
