http://market-ticker.denninger.net/archi.... I wrote this yesterday. There wasn't one queued for McCain. I really did believe he had no chance. ---------- I used to play flute; I wonder if I can play a fife?

BHO's ancestors were slaves? Really? I'd like to see him take the lead on 1) ending affirmative action, 2) ending all racial set-asides, and 3) encouraging inner-city youth to care about school instead of hip-hop. We'll see about the financial stuff; Volcker our best hope. ---------- WE SHALL CLEANSE THE WORLD 2008-11-04 23:18:53

Gen, I'm afraid chances of Obama doing the right thing is rather slim. Hope I'm wrong. TMD ---------- Since September it's just gotten colder and colder. There's less daylight now, I've noticed too.

McCain was leading in the polls 6 weeks ago coming down the home stretch. Then it was one blunder after another on part of McCain starting with the Palin VP pick. It's hard for me to believe that these ridiculous blunders were not intentional. McCain wanted to be president since he was a junior senator. He has years to plan his campaign strategy. He had the best campaign managers that money could buy. How could he make such stupid mistakes?

Christian, I was going to ask the same questions... does Barack have direct ancestors that were slaves? My guess is that KD is using the term 'ancestors' loosely here... as in meaning anyone from Africa is his ancestor? Also, #1 and #2 will be easy for him to do, but #3... how the heck would any president go about doing that? I don't see that getting done. 2008-11-04 23:34:01

Nice post Gen. We continue our year long mind-meld. I just want to add my two cents and say that McCain camp ran a terrible campaign. A politician has to seize on the issue of the day or they get killed at the polls. Not only did McCain not seize on a issue, he ran from it as fast as he could. People instinctively know there was criminality that took place over the last 8 years. However, instead of seizing on it, McCain cowered from it. So instead of tapping into the natural wrath that people feel about the corruption in the FIRE economy, he became the object of how people feel about the overall economy. McCain you made excuses for the pigmen. Now you pay the price. ---------- Bin Laden should have become an investment banker...he could have done more damage and gotten a government bailout to boot 2008-11-04 23:43:07

McCain was a dead horse out of the gate. We need to quit looking at the two party system like most do. Two wolves deciding what sheep to eat but in fact it is ONE big corporate military industrial banking world wolf that feeds on media directed emotion driven zombies. You can watch it and predict it like a script from Hollywood because thats what it is. The only chance McCain had was Romney and that showed it was nothing more than an American Idol campaign. It's disgusting to even watch. People need to realize both parties are heavily comprimised and the only way forward is to stop the divide and conquer and shift to a unite and take back our country mode. 2008-11-04 23:46:57

C-SPAN2 shows a large crowd edging towards the White House saying "Bush out, Obama in". Thanks to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for their reporting that is as neutral as they can muster. I voted for Obama. I am happy that he won. He will not be the Messiah. As long as he makes the right decisions, he will be Mr. Fix It. At this point, this is what we need and I hope he is allowed and decides to do what is right. If he doesn't, he (and us) will have the most difficult period in our history. 2008-11-04 23:48:12

Quote:People instinctively know there was criminality that took place over the last 8 years. This. Studies have shown that people shy away from risk even while their conscious mind hasn't committed to concluding that there is the risk. Specifically, there was some game (with dollar rewards) involving two differently colored decks, and one deck was stacked much worse than the other. People could choose which deck to take a card from, and people shied away from picking cards from the deck stacked against them, well before they realized that the deck was stacked. 2008-11-05 00:12:04

John had exactly one shot to really make himself the maverick that he kept claiming he was, but in the end he demonstrated that he was bought and paid for like the rest of the spineless politicians. Had he came on around the time of the first house vote and become the new Teddy Roosevelt and said unequivocally that we needed to try and prosecute all fraudulent bankster activity and that he would be sending numerous bankster rats to the big house for an extended date with Bubba, the country would have rallied around him and he would be making a victory speech tonight instead of a conciliatory speech. He should have named names and spelled out specifically how these rats were going to pay for all of this corruption and fraud and he would have kicked Obama's ass. People are real tired of this **** and want an actual leader that can lead. Obama had no details, no real plan, just a bunch of nonspecific platitudes, and Obama also voted for the $800B fraud bill so left himself open for an easy attack. McCain didn't have the balls or the intestinal fortitude to really be that maverick and lead the nation through this terrible crisis. I don't have a lot of hope for Obama. Personally, I think the bankster rats planted Biden in the administration and Obama will be facing a Kennedy or Lincoln "event" very soon. I'm sure the banksters will blame the shooting on some racist delusional hillbilly nut Like an Oswald or a McVay that just "had it in for a black president", but in the end they will be the ones to order the hit and we will have president Biden for most of the next four years, just as that rat LBJ was a plant. Sorry for the tinfoil theories here Gen, just a little ****ed off right now. ---------- "the idea that you're "entitled" to a 5 or 6 percent 30 year mortgage is horse****, and so is the housing prices that it has created." - Genesis Last modified:

Yeah, Meatpuddle, you could feel when that moment of decision had arrived for McCain. It was palpable. And so freekin unbelievable when he passed it by. ---------- I say it's spinach, and I say the hell with it. 2008-11-05 00:22:23

Popular vote count comparisons from WikiPedia 1996 Clinton:47,402,357(49.24%) Dole:39,198,755(40.71%) 2000 Bush:50,456,002(47.9%) Gore:50,999,897(48.4%) 2004 Bush:62,040,610(50.7%) Kerry:59,028,444(48.3%) 2008 Obama:46,842,635(51%) McCain(43,518,063(48%) Obama's popular-vote victory is much narrower than expected, and the turn out is much lighter than either of the last two elections, especially compared to Bush vs. Kerry. (Either that or 10% of voters picked 3rd-party candidates that the media isn't reporting.) ---------- The Politically Incorrect Guide to Politics: http://www.tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/ak.... 2008-11-05 00:25:56
