ZOMG!
This poll proves McCain will win!

But seriously, he will. This is a silly election-year. McCain selecting Palin sealed the deal. He has the senior vote, the female vote, the black vote, and the WASP vote.
As the economy continues to suffer through the coming months he will gain more votes.
I predict that after the election, and the critical "first hundred days" he will fail to gain popular support because he is not a fiscal conservative. The economy will continue to suffer from government spending and the inevtiable fall of consumer confidence that follows it. Unless it doesn't, and it might not.:hmm: There might be another economic bubble to prop it up for a bit, but whatever, the economy will eventually fail anyways.
I do trust Washington to displace the fiscal crisis for a bit, at least until the next congressional election. That is what they do best. But economic collapse will eventually occur. Every single great state that has ever existed has died because of economic failure, largely because of the state. Some of them have died more than once.
History repeats itself, and there is a reason for that.
The elite will always be here, no matter what system you choose. Best to make sure that they have as little power as possible.
