Based upon a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being a certantcy. What do you believe is Obama's chance of being elected to the presidency?

I think I will ditto that, but the odds will be in a big state of flux until November, and will depend on a whole host of factors, the economy, the war, and the unpredictability of Obama.

But Obama could have more shoes to drop, and right now he is getting all the publicity. As we near the election, McCain will again get his face time, and everyone knows at least McCain loves the country.

It hinges on turnout, both Republican for McCain, and for all the young people that are now oohing and ahing over Obama. Will his celebrity status translate into votes in the general? And will most of the Clinton supporters hold their nose to vote Democratic or McCain.

Everyone knows Obama loves his country as well.

Some people may, but not everyone as in McCain's case. This is not a snide remark, just a valid observation in regard to degree of certainty.

Jeez

You forget that about 10% of the Republican party is going to vote for... Mr. Ron Paul.

8.5?

All the talking smack you do daily and 8.5 is the best you can do?

You hold your ground with all the tenacity of the offspring of a cross between a rabid bulldog and Roxxxanne... and are so sure of all your info, blah blah blah...and and have repeatedly asserted Obama's win and you post a 8.5?

You spineless worm.

Yup, 8.5.

Certainly much closer to the truth then someone's 'zero'

I still maintain that you, Brand X, are afraid Obama's going to win. You know in your heart that he's going to beat McCain.

This was a weak weak weak deflection you made.

BTW, what should I be afraid of if Obama should win...I mean being that you insist I'm afraid and all. Also show me where I've thrown my support to McGaffe.

No, I think I got it pretty much right the first time about you. You don't post on here for months and months, and once Obama was assured to win the nomination, come back and start talking trash about him in every thread ya can; that's not a sign of confidence. Nope.

Now, I'm not personally sure what you're afraid of, considering what a fine president he would make; but you're displaying the signs of fear, and trying to hide it under a thin veneer of snark. Not fooling anyone though.
