At the risk of being seen as “not helping” John McCain and “giving up,” allow me to take you on a little tour of the electoral battlefield today.
If there are any sharp objects within reach, I suggest you move them. Better yet, put them under lock and key. I am about to crack open the gates of hell and give you a peek at what’s inside.
As “The Dead March from Saul” plays on my headphones, I am forced to report that John McCain is approaching “Dead Parrot” status in the race for the presidency. The campaign is trying to convince us that John McCain is actually alive and still breathing while all other signs point to him being an ex-presidential candidate.
Don’t trust the polls? I wouldn’t either. In fact, a good case can be made that almost all the polls are undercounting Obama’s support and the Illinois senator is even further ahead than the polls indicate. (Read this piece by conservative political guru Michael Barone on polls.) This is because there seems to be a truly remarkable and historic dynamic at work in America. Early voting in states like NC, FL, and Ohio have shown extraordinary turnout among African Americans and the young, voting for Obama by huge margins (Pew has this early voting 58-34 for Obama while Zogby gives Obama a 21 point lead nationwide among early voters.)

and you are going to post it.
I want to hear feedback on it, that’s why. It isn’t helpful to shut off all contrary views.
Opinions are like -—holes. Everyone’s got one. This is Morans take.
Why am I not surprised this poster would find such a negative article?
Pessimistic and absurd. Our friend Chet is posting the same narrative from 2004 about early voting. The polls are already over-tweaked for a giant Democratic turnout. McCain has to close well, but this is extremely winnable.
“Warning: This is a very pessimistic take. “
So is every news broadcast and AP article.
Rick Moran is a full Freeper and full time McCain hater form way back.
This needs to posted as a Blog and a bad one
seriously, WTH are wrong with these people?
Did they all think 2006 was going to come out great and got shell-shocked when many conservatives decided to stay home and they don’t want that to happen again?
Well I got news for these guys, the vast majority of the 2006 people who stayed home are coming out for McPalin. Why they haven’t caught onto this, I have no clue.
9/30/08 Looks a little green to me.
He is a d**khead who doesn’t like Palin.
I think a LOT of folks will hold their nose and vote for McCain / Palin... but will not openly admit it.... I think that number is very UNDER reported. .
my 2 cents worth
OMG! I’m so depressed. In fact, your post depressed me so much, I may not bother to vote....or maybe I will anyway.
he joined 9/30/2008
Maybe a little Blue to me!
Well, thank you. I hadn’t seen any similar story to this posted at any point in the last two weeks. Thank you so much for posting this singular contrary view.
PhiKapMom, always good to see you.
This is an Axelrod run campaign. Works well it would seem on some local and highly liberal state levels. Will it work nationwide? I doubt that.
Of course they also build in pre-planned, unprecedented voter fraud. Interesting times.
St Louis Conservative strikes again!
You are absolutely a troll, but since you stick it out there, let’s deal with it.
1. Gallup has already told us today that there is NO DIFFERENCE in the proportion of new voters in this election to 2004.
2. Every African American in america can show up at the polls, but it is still only 12% of the population of the United States.
3. Many GOP vote by Absentee instead of Early Voting. Abstentees aren’t included in the EV total.
4. The African American enthusiasm is understandable and I believe it easily explains the margin for Zero in the early vote. I myself didn’t early vote until yesterday, so rick moron will need to sharpen up his numbers.
5. St Louis conservative, trolls, and Mr. Moron are the ones who should avoid sharp objects so they don’t stab themselves in the eyes while mccain makes his victory speech Nov 4th.
I’ve been hearing this for every election cycle since I can remember. The Democrat never do as well as they poll and there is no big third-party challenger in this election cycle to help, which is how Bill Clinton won his two terms. Remember, there was no way that Bush could beat Kerry in 2004, yet he did.
