No, this is ALL about keeping ratings up. And ad revenue from the campaigns.
ROFL. McCain is pulling into the lead. Now that voters are faced with actually making a decision on an inexperienced first term senator with a radical left wing history instead of the hypothetical ‘hey, wouldn’t a black president be cool?’ question, McCain is gaining support in the battleground states.
From what I heard when catching the tail end of the FOX “all stars”, Krauthammer was referring to the PEW Poll which shows zero with a big lead, but Mara Liason looked very concerned.
Also, earlier, Brit Hume used two polls, Rasmussen (I think) showing a tightening, and a Gallup poll of Registered voters showing Obama’s lead growing (I haven’t even seen that one). What the heck is FOX up to??
There not much backtracking going on here.
He’s saying that McCain has very little chance and that the McCain pollster was just trying to build moral and save legislature seats by putting out that memo.
The analyst community? Is that some sort of code for the gay community?
Well, we’ll see about that on November 4th Chuck. Stand up Chuck!
Won’t matter.
One methodology for stealing this election was piloted and proven in the 2004 gubernatorial election in the State of Washington. Pub wins close vote. Dim demands recount (the first recount may have been required by state law due to the margin of victory.) Pub wins recount. Dims keep recounts and finding new votes (all Dim votes, of course) until the Dem wins. When the Pub demands the sames recount that the Dim got, TRHEE TIMES, the press and governor-elect say, the people have had enough of this recount stuff, we need to move on with the business of the people. Count on it.
This election is a very close one in my view and can go either way. McCain may well lose but it ain’t in the bag the way the Probama media pretends it is and they are doing their victory laps way too early.
But there is no McCain surge. It is simply a function of the fact that the polling organizations, needing to retain their credibility for future election cycles, are finally reflecting the true state of the race.
But the damage is done.
For months now, the polling organizations, in league with their mainstream media patrons, have been telling us that an Obama victory is inevitable. This mostly likely shifted the true state of the race a good 5-10 points in Obama's favor. This is because many apolitical Americans tend to go with the perceived winner and will now vote for Obama because he is the guy that everybody says is going to win.
It may still not be enough to prevent a McCain victory. But we'll see. Suffice to say that the mainstream media failed to produce a Gore win in 2000 and a Kerry win in 2004 though they came close both times. This time, they pulled out all the stops and made no pretense whatsoever that they are neutral.
The sad fact is that if the Republicans actually nominated a real conservative, this race would have been over in early September and Obama would be playing the noble loser role of Walter Mondale or Mike Dukakis.
McCain is simply an awful choice for our party. We couldn't possibly have done worse (except maybe Mike Huckabee). He is an awful and uninspiring campaigner. He has spent most of the past 20 years masquerading as a Republican and rubbing our faces in the dirt as he usually sided with Democrats and repudiated nearly every conservative value that we hold dear as a senator. His only redeeming factor is that he does support the military and his support of the surge helped turn the tide in the Iraq war (and make it a non-issue in this campaign).
That said, John McCain is about 100 times a better candidate than the marxist, communist, socialist, American-hating, race-baiting Barack Obama.
Thus I am forced to be in a position to not only support John McCain but enthusiastically support John McCain in Tuesday's election and hope for the sake of this nation that he is able to somehow pull this out.
I think he will but I think we are in for a real nail-biter like in 2000. Make sure you go to bed early on Monday night because it looks like none of us are going to be getting any sleep at all Tuesday night.
My prediction is that John McCain is called the winner sometime around 5AM on Wednesday morning.
