I think there is a good chance that McCain will win, I think all those that wanted change have given up on Obama and will not bother to vote. The momentum behind Obama has gone and it doesn't matter how idiotic McCain acts people are still gona vote for him.

I wouldn't go that far. I also think McCain will win but I think the vote is going to be very close and we'll end up with it coming down to one or two battleground states, just like in 2000.
During his 45 minute speech he had to stop - several times - because it became too loud to continue speaking.
Just like Charles Barkley said ...
Much of the criticism has centered on two real estate deals involving Obama's South Side mansion. In the first, Obama paid $300,000 less than the asking price for a doctor's home, while Rezko's wife paid the doctor full price for the vacant lot next door. Then -- a few months before Rezko was indicted -- Obama bought part of that lot from Rezko's wife.
But Obama's ties with Rezko go beyond those two real estate sales and the political support, the Sun-Times found. Obama was an attorney with a small Chicago law firm -- Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland -- that helped Rezmar get more than $43 million in government funding to rehab 15 of their 30 apartment buildings for the poor
Applying the proceeds of a book deal,[145] the family moved in 2005 from a Hyde Park, Chicago condominium to their current $1.6 million house in neighboring Kenwood. The purchase of an adjacent lot and sale of part of it to Obama by the wife of developer and friend Tony Rezko attracted media attention because of Rezko's indictment and subsequent conviction on political corruption charges unrelated to Obama

Obama wants a Marxist government based on the old Russian Constitution. This poses a major problem with Russia and China as they do not want US Hemogany or a US-based NWO with the Green Energy and Investment banking companies in control the the world's money through International banks. These companies are heavily funding Obama's campaign.

The core allegation of the Keating Five affair is that Keating had made contributions of about $1.3 million to various U.S. Senators, and he called on those Senators to help him resist regulators. The regulators backed off, to later disastrous consequences.
