It is far from over. I really don’t like when people use the work “yet”. zerO cannot close this deal, period. His lead is only 4-6 points. Throw in the margin of error and the tightening of the polls starting 10 days before the election, it favors McCain.
Of course.....McCain must begin to take off the gloves and show the stark contrast of him and zerO and dwell heavily on zerO’s relations and philosophies.
John, you can act “nice” to your enemies anymore.
It's pretty creepy.
But McCain has no enemies, only "Friends," doncha know.
I’m not worried. This is no time to go negative.
I still am persuaded that McCain has got it. The lameness of the polls, and the threats of what will happen if he wins suggests to me that the Dims think it’s a real possibility.
bump & a ping
It amazes me to no end the idiocy of those who buy into the whole negative campaigning is bad, and the American people want positive campaigns theme. Who tells us that this is so? The news media tells us. They want to control the negatives.
They tell us that people hate negative campaigns, and in the next second tell people about the Republican Culture of Corruption, the existence of which is extrapolated from the fact that George Bush stole the election from Al Gore, and some guy named Foley had impure thoughts about congressional pages.
We heard a lot about Foley in the 2006 election cycle, it was the lead story on every newscast. The American voter responded by electing Democrats in droves, all because the news media and the Democrats that control it ran a negative campaign. George Bush didn’t do a whole lot of negative campaigning, and he barely squeaked by against Kerry, and the media tells you that Kerry was defeated by being Swiftboated, a reference to a very effective negative campaign strategy.
But negative campaigning is bad, so honorable Republicans should really argue for their own positive ideals, and stay away from pointing out the weaknesses and inconsistencies in Democrats’ ideals. Don’t worry, the news media will make sure that everything you need to know about the mean and nasty corrupt Republicans will be revealed for all to see.
Well, guess what? It’s way past time to go negative.
BTTT!
John McLaim will not suffer he gets along with democrats quite nicely..
Those things DO NOT MATTER to over half the electorate who are “messiah blind”. The man has NO back ground on doing anything positive for the country.
So what makes him appealing to so many?
Well it's Hope and Change.
Right. Talk about sheeple.
These will only make a difference if, first, people hear about them, and, second, people care about them. No matter what we may want to think or believe, most of the electorate still gets it's information from traditional media. And of course we all know how objective the media is this election.
Then, even if people hear about these things, they'll have to decide if they matter or not. Again, whether we want to admit it to ourselves or not, the political landscape in this country has changed. The country has drifted leftward. There are large voting blocs made of of immigrants (legal and not) who will vote for 'Rats because of two words: free money. The other is a large number of younger voters who have grown up with 'Rat teachers and professors and are totally brain dead except that they know they must vote for 'Rats and against 'Pubs.
Remember what they said during Clinton's Senate trial after the House impeached him? Clinton could have raped and killed a woman in full daylight on the lawn of the White House, and the Senate would still have acquitted him. Why? Because he was Clinton, he was a 'Rat, and all they knew was that they wanted him as President. Same with Ohbutthead. No matter what comes out about him, it will sway few in the electorate who are just enthralled with their Messiah.
Khalidis
Who is this, does anybody know? I searched the keyword on FR, came up nothing.
Thanks in advance.
McCain will win easily.
Thanks, I googled Kahlidi before I posted but should’ve included the word “Obama” too. Full name is Rashid Khalidi.
I’m a C- student on internet searching.
:^)
McCain is in the lead and both McCain and Obama know it. This is obvious by the way each are campaigning, the difference in crowds, etc.
The polls are heavily over-weighted with Democrat party ID. Why? Because, well there are just so many new Democrat voter registrations this year! Haven't you heard? ACORN has registered millions of new Democrats dontchaknow... Oh wait.
Khalidi, but he put it in the plural sense, like Khalidis of the world.
Rassmusen is the only reliable poll. Don’t believe any of the others.
