US elections 2008: Assessing Obama's chances against McCain

I think Barack Obama has a great chance of beating John McCain, I mean he did bowl a 36, didn't he? That alone should attract enough total losers, you know, the type that usually are a member of the Democratic party, to beat old Johnny. Obama said he didn't want to bowl a game higher than John McCain's age, that's what it was. He said he felt sorry for the old guy , and didn't want to point out his age. What a good guy Barack is. That will be very attractive to a lot of voters, the fact that Obama was willing to make himself look like a total wimp simply because he didn't want to bowl a game higher than McCains age, so as not to make him feel bad about being so old. Shouldn't McCain he be dead by now?

But that's just a small piece of the puzzle, there are much more important reasons as to why Obama has a good chance of winning the presidential election. I mean, he has so little experience as a junior senator from Illinois, how could he possibly lose to someone with as much experience as McCain? Who the heck would vote for someone who has much more experience and is better qualified when they could vote for Obama? Are you kidding me? It's a no-brainer. Vote for the guy who looks better, and is much less experienced. Maybe Tom Cruise should run? He might even be able to beat Obama, being a scientologist and all. Not only that, Tom Cruise even has a better smile than Barack Obama. It seems impossible, but it's true. But, I digress(I hate that expression). There are other reasons to vote for Barack.

Here's a good one. He keeps himself so slim, I believe he may be anorexic. Now that shows a strong bit of character to make oneself vomit after eating. He must really want the job bad. He can probably buy his suits in the Young Men's Department. Very impressive. I think his chances of beating McCain are very good, just based on his waist size.

Also, and this is a biggie, Barack has a much better speaking voice then McCain. Presidents have to do a lot of talking, and Obama could do that easy. He could probably talk all day if he had to. But not McCain, he would need an afternnon nap, I'm quite sure of it. And than there's the hair thing. McCain is balding, and what hair he does have is all white. Obama has him beat there too, no doubt.

It comes down to this, Obama has a very good chance of beating McCain, and some of the reasons I've listed above. There are other reasons, I'm sure, but I just haven't figured them out as of yet, but I know they will come to me. I'll keep you posted.
