But right now I’m not seeing those swinging to McCain.

I see McCain in very strong position in Ohio, Missouri, Florida, Colorado, Nevada, and Virginia. If he takes them all, there is no way he loses the Presidency. McCain's stock is also rising in places like Michigan and Pennsylvania.

I will agree with you that as of this moment in time, Obama is still probably a very slight favorite, but it looks to me like all the pieces are starting to come together for a McCain victory in November.

IF Obama loses, which prospect brightens each day as he opens his mouth, the Dems and media toadies will start their own circular firing squad as they have with each recent loss. They will fall back to lifting up Hillary, which I think was the plan all along by the Clintonites.

In Obama's case, there's also the "Bradley effect:" the fact that most racist Democrats do not admit to pollsters that they'll never vote for the black guy. They'll say they will, but in the privacy of the voting booth...

That has been one of my secret thoughs also. Dems are racists. I do not believe two generations since Selma will erase it all.

Till the mid-80's, among my circle of friends (Black and White)we were convinced race relations had improved a lot. But then, it started to really decline again, and began to collect some radical overtones.

"But some will vote for Obama because they are scared of what might happen if he loses - that is, riots, crime spike, etc."

Like someone once said (paraphrase)-"better to die on your feet then live on your knees."

The unthinkable? A lot more black babies would have at least the possibility of life than they would under FOCA apostle Obama.

Don’t forget, that idiot Kanye West has already told us,

“OBAMA OR DIE!”

Your choice, rapper.

On the otherhand, Obama may not be quite as BAD as is suggested,
-OR- McLaim quite as GOOD as others(here-FR) propose..

If there be a shadow government of some kind..
They are both just figureheads anyway..

Would explain how John McLAim even became the republican candidate..
Or Kingfish the democrat one..

Indeed... the Mystic Knights of the Sea (called by other names) could be the most subversive organization in the United States.. even though Calhoun just got caught comeing out of a Hotel after a visit with his Baby Momma..

Kingfish seems to be about over getting hiself Honkified..
And may start niggardly displaying his blackness..

“The Obamination goes down in smoke and flames.”

Even though he has a big fund raising advantage and the MSM is in the tank for him for now at least . . .

This is 50 individual contests and beauty of the electoral college is the fuits and nuts on the two coasts cannot ram their boy down our throats.

Also, I think that some in the media are beginning to turn on the anointed one. JMHO

So, we will party at my house while we watch the Kumbyu crowd bark at the moon and say “It's not fair”.

More likely that Obama wins with 350% turnout in every urban voting district in the country.

What are you going to burn?

Anyone remember the Rodney King riots?

What will happen on November 5 will make those look like a block party.

Obama was NOT raised by his father. He was raised by, first, his atheist, left-leaning mom and then by over indulgent liberal grand parents. He attended ivy league universities.

He’s a Marxist, not an “African Collectivist”.

He’s not from Africa and really never knew his father.

She is finished, except as a senator.

Since the Senate was supposed to be nothing more than a stepping stone to the White House, the question becomes: If she can't have the White House, will she be content to remain in the Senate? Maybe so, since Kennedy et al. have shown that being there has its perqs.

I heard Medved talk about the history of elections - that historically the August poll numbers just before the conventions almost always reflect the November poll numbers, despite the convention bumps.

Meaning they are neck and neck now according to the polls, and so they will be in the election. It is likely to be very close, and the tension will be high. If Obama looses, your predictions could be very much accurate. Scary thought. If Obama wins on the other hand, expect him to be tested by al-Quida in the likes of 9/11, maybe worse.

Maybe so, but if it’s all the same to you, I’ll continue to push him away from the presidency with it as best I can.

Feel free to pursue any other avenue or avenues you chose to achieve the same goal.

Very good post. You’ve raised some excellent points. I hope that on election night maybe we can have a thread and all kind of huddle together through it. I know I will need to do that!

He is certain to lose. He's an empty suit, and it's becoming more obvious by the day.

The fact that McCain's Britney/Paris ad got their shorts in such a wad proves it.

My only question is, how will the Demagogues say the election was stolen this time?

Any Code Pinko or KoS Kommando who tries to get violent with this Freeper will be eating lead and meeting Jesus in that order.
I myself, as I suppose others, would never actually SAY that, or how much ammunition they have...


Oh I'm not about to indicate how many hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammo I've got squirreled away in "secure undisclosed locations", lol

But it doesn't matter in the end. :-) I just remember the Korean store owners in the LA Riots. They never said much, beyond SKS bolts being slammed.

Never mess with capitalist Korean store owners exercising their Second Amendment rights. LOL

Black folks looting their own stores and burning their own neighborhoods down? Yeah I remember that. Seems like everytime people do that kind of thing, Daddy givernment is there to fix it all and give them hand outs. For destroying their own communities. Next time they burn their own s**t down, I say let it stay that way, then bring in the bulldozers to clean up the mess. Build homeless shelters.

You forecast is a sure thing, if Obama WINS.
