Yes yes, Senator McCain, you’re an American hero. And yes, you’ve suffered greatly for that, but seriously. Enough already with the prisoner of war story. Do you realize that you bring it up nearly every single day, in one way or another? We’re sick and tired of it, and we want to hear a much different story from you.
That was a long time ago, Senator McCain. We don’t really care about what happened way back then, because it doesn’t have any relationship to what’s going on today. You just keep harping on it, but you don’t tell us what it is that you’ve learned from it that will make you a better President. Or why it might be relevant to today’s issues. We don’t see any of that, and its something that we’d like to know.

Electoral Vote Count
Obama
264
McCain
207
McCain has pulled closer in the Electoral Count which is the real test of the possible President. Last week Obama had a lead of 67 electoral votes, but that lead has decreased to 57 votes. The change could be based upon sentiment surrounding the latest events in Georgia. Or it could be that plus other factors within each state.
