Mr. Bush is the head coach and Mr. Cheney is assistant head coach. Mr. McCain is on the staff-there is no denying it. even if he is wide receiver coach or assistant in charge of quality control- he is on the coaching staff. So what happens in football when you are 1-15? Do you promote the wide receiver coach or linebacker coach that wants to run the same offense with a few new plays? Or do you bring in a new guy with a whole new coaching staff. In football - you bring in a whole new staff

Who would be on McCains's coaching staff and who would be on oBama's staff. The staff includes the Secretary of State and their entire staffs, Secretary of the Treasury and their staffs, Secretary of Defense and their staffs, Secretary of Energy and their staffs, Interior, DEP, Commerce, Attorney General, Justice Department, HUD, FBI, National Security Agency, SEC, Education,Supreme Court Justices. You don't just get a head coach and thats it. There are hundreds of assistant coaches that help run this country.

Is McCain going to replace all of these people that are loyal republicans? No. All of these advisors to Bush that gave him terrible advice and lead him into trouble will still be around and influencing McCain.

If Obama wins, he appoints his coaching staff. Even if people hate him- they don't think he is stupid. He is not stupid. I think that he would appoint smart people. Clinton appointed smart people. Smart people with fresh outlooks come up with the ideas to solve the problems. We need some new thinkers, new plans. The new plans won't be just a handout. Obama believes in family responsibility. We just can't continue being pissed off that unemployable people with no skills just sit on their asses. There is extreme poverty in this county that is a disgrace.

I love republicans- my wife is a republican- In my experience, republicans are the more charitable and volunteer more than Democrats, they are the salt of the earth--but the republican head coach and his staff have totally failed their fans. They really do not have the same values of their fans. They are beholding to what they perceive as the owners of the team- the top 1%.

We need a new coaching staff just as much if not more than new head coach. USA USA USA

Didn't the Patriots try this with #^&#^&#^&#^& MacPherson? How'd that work out for them?

Many people "in the KNOW " have already predicted OBAMA will win...

maybe not by a landslide .... but by a sufficient margin.

so the debates now are rather meaningless.... barring any screw-up's... of course...

oh that's right John just announced he screwed up....

Great analogy I'm thinking Obama would appoint for coaches the party that lifted him to his current position. Pelosi, Reed,Dodd, not Hillary because she's a threat. You want change your going to get change. They will change this country forever and you people that vote him in will blame someone else. It's the liberal way

Look- in 1990 Rod Rust ( kind of like W ) was 1-15. In 1991 MacPherson came in. The Patriots went 6-10- a five win increase which at that time of no free agency was one of the biggest turn-arounds in NFL history and he received consideration for coach of the year honors. Which proves that change of coaches improves the team. Only problem is that in 1992- he must have hired a bunch of republican coaches.

Wow, Republicans NEVER blame anybody....Thats news to me.

I'm pretty sure that I can gloss through some threads and find some examples if i really wanted to.

Bottom line....Its ALWAYS somebody elses fault ...has nothing to do with party Affiliation.


and If I find posts by you in other threads that show you blaming somebody else, does that make you a liberal....

The way I see it, if Bush is the coach, Cheney is assistant coach and his team is his cabinet and other high ranking advisors.. The economy and the american people are the fans watching the game.

A victory for obama means a new club all together.. so long coach, so long assistant coach and so long offensive line up who hasnt scored a touchdown since '01... you remember that play right? the one that they keep playing over and over again to rally the fans???

Three trillion $ in new spending programs, and only the top 5% are going to pay for them.
Believe that and i got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

He better start taking magician's lessons.

If Obama gets in we'll be playing football with our feet, like the Euroupeans

[justplugit]

Ya, govt. regulations will reqiure helmets and full pads paid for by the the top 5%.
