What ACORN is doing is messing with the polls.

What pollsters do is determine what percentage of registered voters are actually going to vote.

Say 70 percent of each party including independents are going to vote. They take 70 percent of the registered voters of republicans, democrats and those that do not select a party and add those results together. That gives them the total number of registered voters who will vote.

Then they figure the percentage of the total vote for each party. That is how they come up with 42 percent of the voters will be Democrats. They then count the way the Democrats are going to vote represents 42 percent of the total vote.

That makes their results off by the number of fake names that ACORN has registered. When in fact the turn out even in 2006 (a bad republican year) was 38 percent Democrats to 35 percent Republicans and 27 percent independents.

But this is not 2006 and due to the low approval rating of the Demorat controlled congres it is likely to be 35 percent Democrats to 35 percent Republicans and 30 percent Independents. McCain is getting a significant vote from white working class Democrats over their fear of what Obama will do with affirmative action. McCain can win if he can just split the Independent vote with Obama. But it looks like McCain is wining the independent vote.

So if the media is not able to discourage Conservative voters enough so they won’t vote for McCain, then McCain has a very good chance of wining.

There are some conservative who beleive that if RINO McCain loses to very LEFTIST Obama they can take the Republican party back. That has never in our history worked. Look at what the FDR wins did to the Republican party. They ran RINOS in 1936, 1940 1944 1948 and finally elected one in 1952.

In fact Harry Truman had offered to help Ike get the Demoratic nomination in 1952 but Ike turned him down. Not on ideology but on the fact that he did not think one party should hold the presidency for more than 20 years.

Losing parties always move in the direction of the winner. DUH!!! Party leaders aways reason that to get a majority of the voters they have to move in the same direction of a majority of voters.

If the majority of voters moved left, then their next candidate needs to be more to the left. If a Republican wins the Demorcrats reason they need to move more to the right. That pushed the Republican party to the right so as to oppose the Democrats.

The more republicans win the more it pushes the party to the right. And the more it causes the Democrats to move more to the right. The more the Democrats win the more it pushes them to the left and the Republicans follow to the left.

Elect an IKE and a NIXON and the next thing you know you have a REAGAN running for office and wining.

If McCain loses and the mostly conservative Bush is terribly unpopular, the Republicans will go far left in 2012.

Sarah will not get the nomination in 2012 or 2016 if McCain is defeated. Losing VP candidates never get the nomination the next times out. The only losing VP to become president was FDR. He lost as VP in 1920 but had to win the governorship of new york and wait 12 years for the losing VP candidate image to wear off.
