Actually if you consider Obama agrees with George Bush 40% of the time in his cast votes, it's easy to reason closer to the truth. We all know that Obama really agrees with Bush 0% of the time. So the 40% agreement actually represents the fluff stuff -- senses of the senate, declarations, and the usual blab both parties parade out that get unanimous or nearly unanimous votes. So, we can shave that same 40% off McCain's supposed 95% agreement, and get to a number -- 45% -- that makes a lot more sense intuitively, considering McCain actually can't stand George Bush, never has, and can't wait to lose the dead weight of his nominal friendship with the guy. The political ménage a trois last week between Hill, Bill and Obama underscores how insincere most friendships in politics are anyway. So, I think the number is closer to "half the time" rather than 95%. The idea that McCain does anything like George Bush is going to look more and more foolish throughout the campaign. Already it has been shattered, and the Dems know it. It was actually pretty dumb to put so much emphasis on that angle of attack. By the way, check out the Obama bounce: http://tinyurl.com/2u693r http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews1547.html More of a plop-plop-fizz-fizz than boing-boing. Carter, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry all had double-digit leads after their conventions. - Bob > > Hi Bob! > > I hope someone develops this idea a little more. > -- > Regards, > > Pete > http://pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
