So who is going to win? Barack Obama and Joe Biden versus John McCain and Sarah Palin. As soon as Barack Obama got onto the national scene I knew he was going to lose. When you take all the positives and stack them up next to all the negatives it is fairly dismal for him. Positives being smart, successful, a legislator, a senator, a family man, a decent human-being and the negatives being poor judgment, inexperience, Ayers, Wright, Rezko, abortion, gun control, Iraq, energy, etc etc.
John McCain's positives are smart, successful, war hero, senator for decades, a lot of experience, moderate, Iraq, and the negatives are his age, the fact that he had cancer, a moderate, and rumors of him being a womanizer.
This is my opinion. Things could take a vastly different turn. The debates, any October surprises, world events, and the Ron Paul-Bob Bar effect, could turn this election into a win for either side. Jimmy Carter at one point had a 15 point lead on Reagan in the polls at one time. I interpret this as if Obama doesn't have a really sizable lead in the polls against McCain he doesn't have chance.
