to scare his socialist “voters” to go vote. he would not say it this way unless he really was worried in my mind.
This Axelrod is such a slimeball. God forgive me, but I would love to see his face when (and I believe it will happen) McCain wins.
His internals are scaring the $hit out of him.
He’s setting up for a loss.
of course everyone’s worst nightmare is the other guy winning, but, maybe he’s afraid of a 75-25 result or something, hey I can dream....
Is this the same buffoon that said odumbo now has a clear road to victory?
So many of these releases by the campaigns are psychological smoke and mirrors, you never really know what their point was. Maybe he’s trying to scare their base to boost the polls. Maybe the Dems aren’t in trouble, maybe they are.
But, personally, I think the results are going to shock Obama right down to the bottom of his trendy flip-flops, and then with a mighty roar, explode in the faces of those smug media prima donnas.
400 electoral votes was the prediction
Meh, Dave don’t sweat it...take ‘bama and go wind surfing...it’s in the bag....
Sucka!
:-)
I thought Axelrod said it was in the bag for Obama? Well, I guess I’ll go out and vote for McCain to make sure Axelrod is disappointed! Just doing my part!

You are absolutely right. I think it was on Sunday (2 days ago) that Axledork essentially said that Husseion would win in nearly EVERY battleground state.
My, what 48 hours can do to you confidence. Ya know what happened during this time?? The 2001 radio interview. I think that he realizes this interview is a silver bullit.
Consensus gave us Global Warming—and that ain’t real either.
I suppose Axelrod didn’t think this would get out since he was talking to the foreign press.
I think so as well, but AGI obviously couldn't wait to run with it.
The sad part is none of the media will ever ask him about this
The whole article:
OBAMA’S STRATEGIST, ‘’I FEAR MCCAIN COMEBACK’’
(AGI) - Rome, 28 Oct - ‘’Our nightmare is that in the end the huge consensus that Obama has gained will not transform into votes’’. In an interview with DNews a few days before the US presidential elections, David Axelrod, strategist in Barack Obama’s campaign said he feared a comeback by Republican McCain. ‘ In these last few days McCain’s disadvantage will decrease. It is the nature of presidential campaigns: it always happens that in the final rush that the gap diminishes. The worst thing we could do at this point is to think we have already won. And we are not. On the contrary, we are trying to produce a massive final effort’’. Obama’s advisor explained the strategy: ‘’Naturally we will go to the States with the biggest margins of undecideds: Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri.
We have to assure ourselves that all our supporters will vote.
This will be a highly competitive competition right to the end.
We need our people to go to work, to get friends and family to ensure everyone votes. We must put across the idea that the stakes are very high, that these are the absolutely decisive days’’.
B-b-but I thought you said that you were sweeping into victory with at least 400 electoral votes?? *snark*
And their delusional vision sees a consensus that's not there.
Delusions have consequences.
I take it as race-baiting, because the only transformational quality they point to is Obama's racial novelty.
