It wasn't a scientific list of course ... just some writer/editor's idea for the front page graphic. But it reflects a reality. As long as Americans are more concerned about political unity and gov't handouts than they are about core capitalist principles and national security, men like Obama will be popular.

He promises the retraction of the oceans, the healing of the planet, freedom from risk in the market, and insulation from the business cycle. What's not to love?
Ah, I see. So THAT is the kind of poll you are wanting me to give to support my claim that the debate had an impact. All this time, non-scientific "polls" of one writer at USA Today represent the strongest evidence you can find.

Understood. I will try to find a single author at USA Today who said that the debates were important. Certainly that will convince you!

Wow. Obama=Marx and McCain=Napolean. This debate sponsored by Archaea (the captain of all hyperbole) and the letters FU.

Bush = Napoleon

McCain is closer to Napoleon than to Marx, yes. But McCain won't appease those that will do us harm.

You disagree. Fine. But get over the fact that I disagree with you.

I am over the fact that you disagree with me. If you think Obama=Marx, you aren't a person particularly worth persuading.
