On Racism: I don't think it will be this. He doesn't manifest enough to even draw the extreme white supremecist vote in the extreme right wing population.

On another war; If the current wars are so unpopular, how could another war, completing the region, make him more popular?

Lastly, on a Terrorist Event; Whoever is in office will benefit from a Terrorist Event given that they proceed through it properly, and will suffer from it if they fail to do so. Unless the voting populace are mere moronic sheep, and nothing more, ever.

Lastly; Since the current administration's party power base has not had so many inroads with McCain over 7 of the last 8 years, what makes it so likely to about face and espouse him, much less him wanting them after the same bitter period of combative political co-rivalry?

Maybe people open their eyes about Obama being a one-trick-pony. That statement is just as valid as any you just made.

What's it like living in your world where everything is so cut and dry?

@Carl

Fair enough. I just can't think of a better way to say, "probably" fact, but I can't tell you for sure.

"borderlining on fact" is not exactly high praise for the theory.

The Pearl Harbor thing is a fairly major theory, borderlining on fact. I've read about it several places and the History channel has done a number of pieces on it. Check it out.

There's nothing to say that the Democrat will be ahead in the polls leading up to the election. We'll have to see what happens.

But ... I've never heard this claim made about Pearl Harbor. Perhaps there is actual evidence for this, but surely you're not a conspiracy theorist willing to buy into anything a website puts out there.
