Post your optimism here. No whining aloud.
We all agree there is at the very least a slight skew in the polls for Obama. Therefore all states in which RCP poll averages show McCain in the lead or tied should go to McCain.
All McCain needs to do is win:
VA (within 4 in latest Fox/Rassm)
FL (Mac Up 1 in latest Fox/Rassm)
CO (within 4 in latest Fox/Rassm)
OH (Tied in latest Fox/Rassm)
This creates a 269-269 tie.
Maine’s 2nd district gives its 1 EC vote to McCain.
McCain wins. No PA, No NV, No NH needed.
MN will go Red this year!!! (thats optimistic, isn’t it?)
;-)
I am optimistic I will vote tomorrow for McCain/Palin!
Great idea!
McCain is going to win because America still has doubts about Obama. The undecided numbers are high, especially considering the way THE ONE has been shoved down our throats. In the political climate, running against a “Messiah”, Obama should be up by 20.
The polls are WAY off due to oversampling, coupled with a failure to quantify PUMA voters or Operation Chaos Republicans who are still registered as Dems. The party turnout numbers will be close.
Sarah Palin! She has given this party new life, no matter what the result is tomorrow. She has helped the GOP rinse itself of the limp wristed losers like David Brooks. Good riddence! Palin will usher in a new conservative/libertarian coalition that will be a force. (And she will keep an eye on McCain, who is guaranteed to drive us nuts for four years as POTUS).
Finally, we have a loving God who will make sure that the sun rises and sets as it always does, no matter who is President. That is all we really need.
The pollsters will be reevaluating their weighting methods after tomorrow...and the MSM will have to rethink how to wage war on America...if we GOTV!
The MSM, Hollywood and the pollsters will not prevent the American people of voting with their hearts. I strongly believe McCain will prevail in the end.
I’m in Fla. There have been McCain signs springing up like crazy over the last week.
I think we’re gonna do it. I pray everyday that this will happen. I think it will be close, but McCain/Palin will do it.
As Rush says, “DRAG them over the finish line!!”
Sarah Palin will carry McCain on her back across the finish line to victory even though the Mac is kicking and screaming.
I’m one of those who hang up on all pollsters (and all telemarketers)
I had the following exchange with a Freeper who had joined within the last six months. He was despondent, said McCain didn’t have a chance, and that we were screwed. When I asked why he saw things that way, he responded and instead asked ME what I saw that was different from the “prevailing view”. This was my response:
*************************************************
How old are you?
How long have you followed American politics?
How long have you been a conservative?
Where do you live?
I ask these questions because I wonder what YOU are seeing. Do you read the newspaper? If so, how much of it do you believe? Do you watch television? If so, do you think they display an obvious bias?
I live in Massachusetts. This is as blue a state as there is. The politics here simply suck. I live amongst liberals, they are everywhere here. I carry the stigma of living in a state that has produced some of the most heinous, partisan and anti-American groups of politicians ever sent to Washington.
For years I had to get my news from the Boston Globe. I had to watch PBS and Boston news stations to get my news.
I have been following politics closely since I was nine years old, and I have been a conservative since then.
I have served in the US military during the Carter years, one of the worst administrations this country has ever seen, and I voted for the losing candidate in my first election. Carter didn’t destroy this country, though he tried damned hard.
I have a 12 year old nephew with a learning disability. He is extremely intelligent for his age. His disability is that he can barely read. His disability prevents him from being able to visually assimilate and process the written word. So he gets nearly ALL of his input on everything from what he sees on television.
And the kicker is, of all things he could be interested in, there are two that have his attention.
Politics and History.
The problem here is that, being a resident of Massachusetts, participating in the school systems of this state and taking in what he sees on television, he has a twisted view of history and an even more twisted adherence to liberal politics.
This in a 12 year old boy. So, when I see him, he wants to talk politics with me. He has no idea about the concepts of conservatism.
He is a 12 year old idiot savant socialist, Marxist, liberal.
His parents are church going and devout, but he does not believe in God and is not afraid to say so. This child is a walking caricature of liberals, what you would see if you went to Democratic Underground. He has all the derogatory, nasty and mean stereotypes of conservatives imprinted in his 12 year old brain, and has no idea that he has been programmed, and does not understand how hateful and ignorant those stereotypes are.
The reason I describe him to you is this: I spoke with him last week, and he is all agog about Barack Obama. Thinks he is the best thing since sliced bread, wants to see complete redistribution of wealth. He said to me:
“Uncle Bob...what are you going to do if John McCain loses?”
You know what I told him? I said:
“Sam, if that happens, I am going to go on with my life. I am going to get up and go to work each day, and do everything I can to make myself successful and be the best person I can be. You don’t want to make the mistake of emotionally investing yourself in something like politics. Politics is important, but it isn’t what life is all about. I can’t tell you what is important in life, you are going to have to find that out for yourself.”
I have enough faith in our country to believe it can survive a Obama Presidency, even though the tenets of that Presidency would strike directly at the heart of what makes America great, which is our engine of capitalism, the rising tide that lifts all boats. Freedom is our gift to the world, but the American form of capitalism is our Bread we give them. Capitalism has done more good for more people than any other force in history. I think it is a boat that will right itself.
You need faith in what is good. Wars are a series of battles, not one event. We will win. We may or may not win this battle, and even if we lose and wander in the political and social wilderness for the next 20 years trying to overcome the damage people like Barack Obama and his ilk will try to inflict on our country...we will win.
We will win, not because we are right (not just policially) but because OUR side does what works.
THAT is what I see.
Amen! I feel a real spiritual awakening here now. And if God be for us, who can be against us?

The fundamental question is this—which Obama will people choose? The man they hope he is—or the man they know he is?
For many—”the one” is whatever they want him to be. If they want him to be conservative that is what he is to them...if they want him to be radically left that is what he is to them...He is an empty slate and that is weirdly comforting to many voters—he can be whatever those voters want him to be.
But for others...he is what he is—he’s a extreme leftist...a socialist YES in the form of Lenin....If people went and found the news themselves and vote reality rather than idealism (not ideology) then I feel it’s a great night for McCain...if they vote for the man they hope Obama is....it will be an early night and disappointing night for us.
However, I have faith in Americans...I have faith they’ve figured out they have to find the news for themselves independent of mainstream media. I have faith that a strong majority do NOT want their utility bills “necessarily” skyrocketing. I have faith most don’t see coal as evil. The real indication early is how Indiana breaks...how Virginia, West Virgina, Ohio and Pennsylvania breaks....I believe we win all of these states and also Florida...IF we win these states then I think it’s safe to assume the rest of the nation follows and McCain wins a “comfortable” electoral college victory.
If however people collectively voted for this mystery because he was everything they “think” he will be...then it’s over....
And so too might be the country as we knew it...
But I have faith in my fellow Americans...I have faith in you Freepers....I have faith God will show us the right way and we will vote that way...
There are a lot of things happening in and around this election that cannot be polled. McCain & Palin have a lot of energy and a lot of momentum. Obama has taken a couple of serious body blows from Joe the Plumber and the coal industry. When the dust settles tomorrow, we’ll be standing.

No worries mates, McCain is going to win big! In fact I am so confident that I posted this a week ago.

I stand by the following numbers, the exclusive Phone Book Poll that I helped MikeFrancesa.com conduct:
Ohio: McCain 53, Obama 47
Florida: McCain 52, Obama 48
Pennsylvania: McCain 51, Obama 49
Virginia: McCain 52, Obama 48
Colorado: McCain 51, Obama 49
New Mexico: Obama 51, McCain 49

I remember when the MSM said Iraqi elections would never happen because Iraqis would be to afraid to vote while AQ vowed to slaughter them. Freedom and liberty trumped fear.
VOTE!!
