Dem strategists see landslide in the making - David Paul Kuhn - Politico.com

“Barring a terrorist attack,” said Maslin, “in the face of what’s happened to the United States economy, the world economy, in the last two weeks how does this trend reverse itself?”

Thoughts?

Perception of the candidates is everything. Terrorists attacks and international crisis help McCain, and economic downturns help Obama. The sad state of affairs is neither events should help one over the other. It should be about issues and where they stand on policy.

If you vote for Obama because you think he will fix the economy you are a moron, and if you vote for McCain because he can kill terrorists better you are an equal moron.

McCain won't personally kill terrorists better, but the XM25 will!

Essentially, the idea is to have a gun which shoots special, extra-big 25mm slugs - sort of a cross between a normal bullet and a 40mm launched grenade. The projectile is thus big enough to put clever stuff in it, but small enough that a weapon carried by a normal person can shoot it a long way without the recoil knocking the user flat. (Everyone loves 40mm grenades, but they are so tubby that a shoulder launcher of reasonable weight and recoil can't throw them very fast - hence not very far either).

What you put in your big fat .98-calibre** slugs is a small HE-frag warhead - but that's not the clever bit. The clever bit is the electronic precision time fuse, which is set wirelessly by the gun's systems at the moment of firing. This means that the slug will explode at exactly the distance from the muzzle you want.

although this will likely be one of those military projects an Obama administration will shelve in favor of Kumbyah Karaoke machines.

I am a Obama supporter ut I am also a realist. I think Obama wins but it wont be a landslide.

This is a divided country and the days of landslides are over.
