Wouldn’t it be fun if one of the candidates just let loose and showed us what we suspect they are really like?

Like that'll ever happen!
I hate politics with a passion. It's probably because I just don't get it. Both sides sling mud at the other in hopes they can expose who they really are, all the while pushing their own looser toward the role of running the country.
I've never been the type to fall for the BS both side fabricate to make the other look bad. I don't trust what I hear on the news, and these popularity polls that claim to show "How the country feels" are no more accurate than asking the same question to a group of Kindergarten students.
With that in mind, here is my view of the 2008 race taken not from the media but from the people on the streets.
I think over confidence by the Democrats may cost them the White house in 2008. That over confidence, amusingly enough, comes from believing their own propaganda. This led them to believe the 2008 election was a shoe-in for the them, and they chose to double down the bet by wanting to be the first to put a female or black as President.
What I've found on the streets is that with all the hate-Bush tactics delivered by the left, and the media claims of the corrupt Bush administration, almost every person I've talked to says they would reelect Bush if it were an option. Actually I find myself feeling the same way.
And this claimed Americans no longer supporting the war on terror. I think the drop in support at the polls is nothing more than the Left changing their minds to boost the propaganda. You know, they were for the war before they were against it, so now that flip flop is evident in the polls. A drop in the Left's support of the war, not the Rights.
I may be wrong, but I have never felt Hillary was ever a contender. Obama just sets off the warning bells for me. Nothing more than player. A very good player, but a player none the less. I think as his sugar coating starts to melt away, and it is, people will see him for what he is.
That leaves McCain. I don't care much for McCain based solely on his past dealings with immigration. As someone else said, don't listen to the crap being said during an election but judge them on their past actions. Dennis Miller this morning on the news said "I would have never believe it, but I believe McCain just won the election as of yesterday."
