Way to keep up the spirits!
I said months ago here McCain would win fairly handily. I stand by that, despite being VERY worried lately. It’s been said, but check the sampling numbers here. If a poll with 57% Democrats yields Obama a lead of 2%, he’s in serious trouble. The only reason all the polls rose in Obama’s favor seems to be the across-the-board oversampling of Dems and African-Americans. Both began at the same time.
Don’t underestimate the ACORN stories. This will seriously upset anyone who puts country, democracy and fairness above party and race. Which gives us about 55% of the electorate.
I have never argued that the ACORN crap should not be pointed out and people should not be prosecuted for it, but I am not convinced remotely that the registration crap is going to turn into waves of illegal voting, any more than any other election.
As a person who lives right by OHIO and in a state that has become more and more likely to turn every election I’ve seen fraud.. and I don’t see anything going on in this election that hasn’t been going on for several election cycles, other than the fact the press is paying attention to it this time.
I don’t see it swinging elections. Its serious and needs to be addressed and folks need to go to jail for their roles in it, but the idea that these massive registraion things are going to turn into massive actual voting fraud beyond what has happened in every election up to this point is a huge jump not based on logic.
Exactly the point I've been trying to make. Many self-proclaimed pundits are spouting that the negative stuff about Obama has been worn out. I'd like to see the name-identification polls to prove that. I'd bet there is a majority of adult Americans who still couldn't place ACORN, Ayers, Rezko, and the like. If a sizable amount of people in Harlem don't even know that Joe Biden is Obama's running mate and not Sarah Palin, that proves there's millions of adults who are still ignorant about Obama's past. McCain has to keep drilling this home.
