Let me be clear, we are without a doubt behind in this race. The odds are definitely against us, but then again with the right/wrong numbers the way they have been and presidential approval numbers very low, we knew this for over a year. I believe the same party has held the white house three elections in a row only twice the last 100 years.
But taking all those things into account, along with the fact that we have BEEN OUTSPENT 3 TO 1. That is about to change, with the RNC committing to about 7.5 million a day along with the 527's(Obama has been spending 3 million a day). Obama should be 15 points ahead, and I mean in legitimate polls with properly weighed samples. He's not because voters have serious doubts about his character.
The point is, we have taken there best shots and are still standing. So everybody go rent the move "Miracle" about the US 1980 Olympic Hockey Team, watch my Tampa Bay Rays go to the world series Thursday(Hopefully!!), and keep the faith. We have approximately 200,000 more absentee ballot requests in Florida than the dems so far.
NEVER GIVE UP!
We are going to win this race.
If you read my post, you’ll see my opinion is that we are only a few points behind.
Again, the internal poll numbers suggest that it is a 3-5 point race now. I don’t see either winning in a landslide.
I’m not as involved as I was in 2004, but I know we have been doing precinct walks while they did not start last time until two weeks out. I was called by a campaign staffer asking if I would be voting for McCain, even though I have a cell phone, so their records are pretty updated. The precinct walks are mapped with a question list, which they did not have last time. And at the rally McCain had in Tampa, staffers were passing out cards asking for us to text our cell phone numbers to a certain number if we are willing to vounteer. All of these things are new and were not done in 2004.
That is good to hear, especially with the two weeks to go time frame.
I obviously read your post. I quoted you, or did you miss that detail?
And I’ll quote you again, “Let me be clear, we are without a doubt behind in this race.”
Well, that would depend on the polls and “few points” you’re referring to. The emphases is on your emphases.
