McCain-Palin Closing In... Obama's Lead Shrinks to 2.8 Points

Gateway Pundit ^ | 10/27/08 | staff

[pissant]

This is why the hysterical divas in the MSM are trying mightily to blur reality.

[Signalman]

Never Give Up!

[Ciexyz]

Please, God.

[lonestar67]

The lag time is about right for these national changes to start impacting state races. We will see state and electoral movement by the weekend.

[RaiderRose]

I finally got polled today...said I was undecided. Screw ‘em.

Saul Alinsky on "Change"...

From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."[2]

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

Must see video of Farrakhan's Obama endorsement at the above 'annual Saviours' Day celebration in Chicago, Feb. 25, 2008'. Hear him call Obama "The Messiah"! And speak of "universal change":

Everyone feels good, now go read Iowahawks excellent posting a few minutes ago about “balls and urns” and the statistical errors inherent in political polls. Then Get Out the Vote!

[mockingbyrd]

Yeah, but that 80% voter turnout in Ohio is going to involve a lot of fraud. One stolen state and it’s all over.

[Darkwolf377]

I can hear the LOUD television from my upstairs neighbor's apartment, and he had CNN on tonight. (I think--they all sound the same to me.) It sounded like Anderson Cooper. He and a democrat were talking about Obama's impending "landslide" and how the race was basically over.

It was very demoralizing. It's uncanny how the MSM are all following the same polls, not telling their viewers the most basic facts about polls, not explaining the samples.

I have to confess that I don't know if we'll still be calling this the most accurate poll after election day, but it's really startling how the MSM are so CONFIDENT that they have the election called. Anyone denying that the MSM are in the tank for Obama has no contact with reality, none at all.

[pissant]

Almost every poll has tightened. But instead of saying that, they pretend the opposite. Methinks it won’t work.

[roses of sharon]

Remember how proud the MSM were that they wrote the scripts for Katrina and Iraq, ie, the destruction of GWB?

Well, now they are campaigning outright for Hussein, with impunity. And they are not hiding it anymore...because they know it works better on the American people this way.

The MSM are laughing at our complaints about them.

They know they have won. Again.

[pissant]

A winning strategy would be for McCain and Palin to start calling the media the leftist Obama campaigners that they are.

[ROTB]

Even if Obama wins, and goes so far as FORCING Christian churches to marry homosexuals or lose their tax-exempt status, and taxes away your wealth, faith in Jesus Christ provides you with forgiveness of sins (so you get to miss hellfire), and you experience God’s love through his Word.

Here are the under-reported reasons I have collected visiting FR way too much.

1) “Polls” that show Obama ahead tell a different story when internals are studied. Please see http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/14/an-eeyore-free-zone for a primer on how polls are cooked. UPDATE: Rasmussen saying McCain ahead in Florida and Ohio.

And now, a brief history lesson of ACTUAL ELECTION RESULTS:

1980: Reagan 50.75%, Carter 41%, (+9.75 Reagan) Reagan won 45 states.
1984: Regan 58.77%, Mondale 40.56% (+18.21 Regan) Reagan won 49 states.
1988: Bush 53.37%, Dukakis 45.65% (+7.72 Bush) Bush won 42 states.
1992: Clinton 43.01%, Bush 37.45%, Perot 18.91% (+5.66% Clinton) Clinton won 30 states.
1996: Clinton 49.23%, Dole 40.72%, Perot 8.40% (+8.49% Clinton) Clinton won 31 states.
2000: Bush 47.87%, Gore 48.38% (Gore +0.49%) Bush won 30 states.
2004: Bush 50.73%, Kerry 48.27% (Bush +2.46%) Bush won 31 states.

NO WAY is Obama up 14 points!

2) Hillary and Bill are not acting like they want Obama to win, since she wants to run again in 2012, despite what she alludes to. Notice Hillary has not gotten Berg to cut it out with his “birth certificate” lawsuit.

3) “Hussein” being Obama’s middle name is still news to most people.

4) A picture of Obama dressed as a Muslim (there are at least three) is still worth 1000 words (3000 in this case). Man your email station! Post bills!

5) The PUMAs who know the hows and whys of Hillary getting cheated, will vote Palin, and will pull others. Check out http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=33711&page=3 and http://democrats-against-obama.org. Freeper lonestar67 says, “Surveys have suggested that as many as 20-30% of Democrats may vote for McCain based on the rejection of Hillary. If even fractions of these claims are true, Obama would be hard pressed to win the election— especially in key states such as Pennsylvania and Ohio.”

6) “[Bitter Clingers] to [Religion and Guns]”, will vote McCain, so much so that 22K of the 45K in Grand Junction, Colorado came out to see her http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2110920/posts.

7) The Palins ARE America and the conservative base. America and the conservative base will vote accordingly. According to http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2106836/posts parts of the country that were not fired up about the election, are working for Palin. She draws THOUSANDS at every campaign stop.

8) The NRA has “8 figures” of ads to unload in “swing” states

9) At one point, Obama was only 5 points up in New York! New York!

10) The Democrats were talking about Democratic consultants freaking out over Obama mis-managing his campaign before they settled into poll alteration.

11) The Enemedia is already spreading the meme that if Obama loses, it “is racism”. They see the tea leaves ...

12) The Media was calling the election for Kerry ELECTION MORNING in 2004, and Carter and Reagan polled evenly on election day! SOMEONE is trying to buffalo us with these polls! For more on the history of polls leaning Democrat, please see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2106669/posts Both Zogby and Mike McCurry predicted a Kerry win.

13) McCain has only started to play the Ayers card. McCain has not yet played the Tony Rezko, Odinga, ... more at http://www.barackbook.com

14) Plenty of long-time Democratic voters are unimpressed with Obama, and will not vote for him. Two midwestern transplants have volunteered to me that they know lifelong Democrats who WILL NOT vote for Obama. The 1st hand accounts here on Free Republic about lack of enthusiasm for Obama relative to Kerry similarly bodes poorly for Obama.

15) Obama has only 75% of the Jewish vote last I checked, just like Kerry (comfortable R win). Gore got 90% (close R win). Please see http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/05/obama_and_the_jewish_vote.php and http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08293/921167-470.stm

16) The Christian base that re-elected Bush in 2004, knows Sarah is more than a Sunday Christian, and is praying for her.

17) McCain opened 50 offices in California. It’s in play! It should be the bluest of the blue, and it is not.

18) Google “Bradley Effect”. Obama is getting poll votes he’ll never get on election day. PUMAs have also agreed to lie to pollsters about supporting Obama, and are encouraging others to do so.

19) Operation Chaos resulted in an overlarge quantity of Democrat registrations that will never ever vote Democratic.

20) Obama’s “spread the wealth” line to Joe the Plumber will cost him undecideds not ready to etch the current class structure in stone.

21) The Enemedia overstating Obama’s popularity will cut two ways. The lazy, and the youth, (core Democrat constituencies) will not brave traffic and lines to vote on election day, since they were lied to by the KGBMedia to believe that Obama has a gigantic lead. In fact, if I worked for the GOP, I’d make sure free beer/music parties were being held outside of every major blue city before/on election day. They’re called “raves”.

22) There is a group playing Jeremiah Wrights ads. Read more about it http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2108462/posts, and to donate visit https://www.completecampaigns.com/FR/contribute.asp?campaignid=OCDBPac.

23) The Obama crew already knows they’re going to lose. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2110803/posts and http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2103037/posts

24) Kerry won the Nickelodeon kids vote 57/43, and Obama won it 51/49! If you don’t think kids vote like their parents, then you got another thing coming! http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2110843/posts

25) Freeper lonestar67 says, “... the misogynist treatment of Palin by the media elite has provided additional elements to the coming silent backlash— especially among women.”

26) Three people over 50 (white male and two Mexican women), on two occasions, on October 25th, asked me if I know about Obama not being a citizen. My Dad knows, and he emailed all his friends also. Point being, EVERYBODY KNOWS that Obama ain’t benevolently and humbly forthcoming with his birth certificate, and thus something fishy is afoot in Camelot.

27) Polls are meant by the Enemedia, to SHAPE public opinion, not to accurately report it. Get your news here! Stop torturing yourself! We bring the liberal media lies here, and we dissect them through the lenses of Christianity and Conservatism.

Fellow Freepers, please feel free to post this list every time you see a Freeper or anyone feeling down, anywhere. No need to credit me or ping or write me.

If you do start spreading this list, it might not be bad for you to check back for updates since Freepers are always kindly giving feedback to this list.

Let me know if you have any other under-reported reasons for the coming McCain/Palin win.

Mantra: Taxes kill businesses kill jobs kill people

Please tell me if you think there are mistakes.

[roses of sharon]

A bit late for that, since they have been kissing media arse for 3 decades.

And it will get worse...Republicans will move even further towards pleasing the MSM.

If that is possible.

[Arizona Carolyn]

~LOL~ and Bill O'Reilly said he just knows McCain is down to less than a 20% chance of winning this election.

I seriously think Obama hypnotized him when they did the interview.

My husband said Larry King Live is on the "diva" story tonight. I cracked up, told him it was from a very pathetically written article in WaPo by Dana Milbank today and the body of the story showed her anything but divaish.... today headlines is everything in desperation to keep the real headlines about Obama off the air.

BTW anyone know why Palin and McCain have such a light schedule this week?

[pissant]

One of many reasons I’m not a republican.

[Chunga]

I finally got polled today...said I was undecided. Screw ‘em.

If you're for McCain that's a stupid move.

Many anti-Communists, onservatives and Republicans need the encouragement that a further uptick for McCain in the polls would mean. A pro-McCain/Palin answer from you might have added to that encouragement.

[ExGeeEye]

I like these results.

That said; what makes this pollster “the most accurate”?
