“Obama is going to get crushed, there is a mountain of ammo to use against Barack Hussein Obama. There will never be a President Barack Hussein Obama.”

You’re a-whistlin’ past the graveyard, Bob.

I predict this will be one of the closest elections in history, right up there with 2000. I don’t think McCain can win the popular vote - if he wins, it will be through the electoral college, as did G.W. Bush in 2000. And this time, we may see not just one, but two or three state outcomes challenged by the ‘rats.

So long as neither candidate could claim a majority in the polls, I saw the race as close or at least still contested. But when you see either candidate start “breaking 50” (percent, that is) in the polls (state or national), it’s getting close to over.

Obama seems to be getting uncomfortably close to that threshhold. Uncomfortable for _us_, that is.

This doesn’t mean a turnaround could yet be possible. Some thoughts:
- A significant win by Palin vs. Biden could inject new fire into the race, at least among conservatives. But, if Palin stumbles, that may be the beginning of the end.
- There are still two debates left for McCain vs. Obama. Obama just needs to hold his own against McCain to keep his momentum. McCain, on the other hand, needs a knockout to put himself back into serious contention.
- And of course, there could be the “October Surprise” - coming to a televsion set near you (I don’t own a television).

I hope my pessimism is proven wrong. But if there is a “mountain of ammo” to use against Obama, why ain’t they a-usin’ it?

- John

So for the months leading up to the election I’ll be optimistic and happy and you’ll be pessimistic. I’ve already won a significant victory, my mental health. ; )

I trust my instincts, they’re almost always right, even when I betray them (damn, she was hot though). I’m not one prone to hyperbole, nor was I predicting big victories the past 2 elections for President.

Everything I do I research, I don’t like being mediocre at anything, and I wouldn’t be putting myself out there calling a landslide on some flight of fancy. I’m locked in on what’s happening this election.

No way in hell Obama wins, or even comes remotely close, I don’t care if Wall St. crashes tomorrow and every headline and news story is: 2nd Great Depression: Everyone Agrees It’s the Republicans Fault.

I have no blinders on, my eyes and ears are wide open. The MSM is doing NOTHING NEW, I wish it wouldn’t depress so many people here, NEVER let those bastards win THAT battle with your mental health, don’t waste any time feeling gloomy, you never get those days back.
