It's over
Where the Presidential race stands.
"By the standards of Presidential elections since 1992, Barack Obama is far ahead. For most of this season he has been running about 50 EV ahead of where John Kerry ran at the same point in 2004, which ended in a near-tie. Currently the gap is even larger - it’s nearing Clinton v. Dole proportions. In the face of a down economy and abysmal approval ratings for the Bush Administration, a lead of this size by a Democrat is essentially insurmountable.
This is why John McCain’s tactics have become increasingly savage - it’s his last stand. It is why Obama has started to buy 30-minute blocks of time - he is shooting for a massive blowout. Conservative commentators are jumping ship, writing obituaries for the Republican Party or even coming out for Obama. The writing is on the wall. Every knowledgeable insider on either side knows it."

Waarom schrijf je niet gewoon in het Nederlands?
kzag 1 van mccains "savage" reclames... best wel triest en dom, het draagt ook bij aan het amerikaanse stereotype, dat fearmongering waar u een keer over had geschreven.
omdat ik citeer anoniem
Smartass anoniempje just got owned.
random fun facts:
Gemiddelde ratings van youtube ad videos van Obama: 4,7 sterretjes
Gemiddelde ratings van youtube ad videos van Obama: 3,3 sterretjes
Zelfs al heeft obama minder views per video, het is gewoon triest hoe enorm slecht alle videos van mccain worden gewaardeerd...
Anoniem heeft anders wél een punt: géén aanhalingstekens en géén bronvermelding...
Ik dacht even dat je een ingezonden brief had gestuurd naar de NY Times... :P
vn heeft gelijk. Ik heb het gewijzigd.
