Ruh-roh:
People would rather barbecue burgers with Barack Obama than with John McCain.
While many are still deciding who should be president, by 52 percent to 45 percent they would prefer having Obama than McCain to their summer cookout, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll released Wednesday.
And we all know this is the most important factor in selecting a president.
But for some reason, people really think it is. I suppose that in a world where the average guy feels as if he can have about zero impact on policy, and the trends that buffet his life, maybe this is all we’ve got left: Who seems most like a guy you might know. Or: Who seems to value his personal faith the most. Or: Who seems to have the best character.
All of it, of course, more or less irrelevant to the job of the presidency, and all of it carefully crafted by the spinmeisters anyway. But I suppose you could say that if McCain lags behind Obama even here, it’s another sign his candidacy may be cooked.

Post your thoughts and comments about this blog post.
And when someone at the barbeque gets drunk and starts acting a fool, they'd rather have McCain around.
McCain was down at the end of the table and we were talking to the head of the guerilla group here at this end of the table and I don't know what attracted my attention," Cochran said. "But I saw some kind of quick movement at the bottom of the table and I looked down there and John had reached over and grabbed this guy by the shirt collar and had snatched him up like he was throwing him up out of the chair to tell him what he thought about him or whatever. I don't know what he was telling him but I thought, good grief, everybody around here has got guns and we were there on a diplomatic mission. I don't know what had happened to provoke John but he obviously got mad at the guy and he just reached over there and snatched him." |

Nice story but McCain can't even raise his arm to shoulder height due to injuries from whats the term extreme questioning.( can't say torture anymore) |

Possibly, becuase the reports I have heard is he can't even put his own shirt on. |
