And we still have over 2 weeks. McCain can flip it to +2 for McCain.

What's to flip? Oh, you actually believe the numbers?

Nobody will be punished for the destruction of these cities either.

Of course not. Who do you think is running this outfit, normal, decent, fairminded people?

Whoever they are, decent or indecent, they're certainly not the people I know who work hard, pay taxes, and obey the rules while trying to make this a live-able country to leave to their kids and grandkids.

Let me say it again. Forget about the polls. Pray and work. Get out there and get out the vote. Forget the polls!

If/When McCain wins, will we see the ‘America is racist’ cry from the media like we heard the ‘Bush stole the election’ crap?

Who cares? We win. Don't let a bunch of crybabies get you down.

That sign would be considered by the left as a “hate crime”.

I have one of those 18 x 24 sheet metal carports close to my house and my little backhoe is parked under it. I have had thoughts lately of using the backhoe to dig a large hole under there in case I need a good foxhole from which to defend my property. We have some food stocks built up which is good because if McCain wins I don’t want to go to town for at least a month.

BHO has revealed his true colors, that's for sho.

Not all of his true colors, that's also fo sho. He still claims to be Christian although his actions over the last decade or so have shown him to be still heavily under the influence of his early schooling in an Indonesian Islamic Madrasa and his Muslim relatives and associates in Kenya.

His cousin is Raila Odinga, a communist trained in East Germany who urged his Muslim supporters to riot and burn Kenya's towns and cities after losing the Kenya presidential election last year. B. HUSSEIN Obama campaigned for his cousin Odinga, and after his defeat he advised him to challenge the election results. The disputed results incited violence by his Muslim supporters against the Kenya Christian community which had backed his opponent. Hundreds of Kenyans were killed in the violence that ensued, including 50 Christians who died when they were locked in their church building and burned alive after Odinga's Muslim supporters set it on fire.

The following is an excerpt from an article on another website:

In a letter received from American missionaries who have spent the last twelve years living and serving in Africa, the Agent of Change comes into focus. The letter opens with "Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were behind the recent [2007] Presidential election chaos here. Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence (over 350,000) and I don't know the last count of the dead." The letter goes on, "Obama, under "friends of Obama" gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in East Germany. He has been trying to bring Kenya down for years and the last president threw him in prison for trying to subvert this country!" Then the missionaries make their biggest statement, "What we would like you to know is what the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a Muslim and he is a racist and this is a fulfillment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true Muslim way." This message comes from American missionaries who have been working among Muslim groups for the last twenty years, the last twelve among Obama's tribe (family) in Kenya.

I’m thinking that the big Halloween Costume this year might be: A PLUMMER’s Uniform! Here’s an idea - we all dress as Joe the Plummer, or Sarah the Hockey Mom and pass out Halloween treats with photos of Obama with the Acorn on his head and a list of his connections to ACORN on the back of every photo!

I've said it before. I'll say it again. Ignore the polls--even the good news ones.

Fight like we're 1% behind and work for every single vote.

Thanks. Good news! These polls are closing. Titans pinged this one for us in a polling roundup.

I think it is possible for McCain to win with a -6.
They over poll the rats and the military does not get polled.

Clarify for me—this has nothing to do with the debate, yes? Because from what I understand, the poll results are taken several days before they are released??

If so, yahooooooo!!

Pikachu, that’s assured, as they have basically said as much.

I feel a sort of “Truman-like win” coming on for McCain/Palin—it’d be great for McCain to stand up there, with say a copy of the L.A. Times with the banner headline: “Obama wins”, as he, McCain, thanks the USA for his 52-48 win over Obama. Let’s hope!

My husband and I met some friends to watch a football game this evening. As we were walking to our car in the parking lot, a car filled with some African American ladies slowly drove past and they shouted out, “m-f-ing Obama!” (you can obviously get the word they said.) Other people in the parking lot were audibly shocked and commented on how strange it was. I commented that I was truly concerned on how some of his supporters might react if he wins.
