If you’ve been checking the internals of the media’s polls, you know why.

So if you figure that in a National Poll what percentage of any poll is that 2 to 3&. So if a Poll is 47 to 44 is a dead heat.
HELLS YEAH!
GONNA HAPPEN BABY!
FIGHT!
They are wrorried about Pa, Ohio and Missouri.
Not a bad place to be in considering the national tracking polls.
The MSM has been working overtime to suppress anti-Obama voters (both GOP leaning and Dem leaning). We can NOT let them win. Hubby just got home from work and said a Republican coworker said “why should I vote....Obama’s gonna win, it’s all over the TeeVee”. My hubby told him he’s stupid if he falls for that “spin crap” LOL!
Uh hello MSM?? This is the same John McCain that was left for dead in a POW camp. Same guy who was taking commercial flights and carrying his own luggage in the primaries before coming back and kicking all our butts. Can’t count him out!!
My Gosh! I hope Mac wins!!!
I can remember when he got off a plane in NH and only two press guys were there to meet him.The media joked and laughed about McCain. He stood tall, he fought and kept fighting on his own. THIS IS A GOOD DESCENT MAN! MAY GOD BLESS US, WITH MAC AS OUR NEW PRESIDENT!!
I saw him today in Indianapolis. This is not trumped up, last minute enthusiasm to energize voters. He was genuinely happy today, as was the entire entourage. They clearly were enjoying themselves.
The media does’nt think republicans are excited enough to vote. I heard Chuck Todd say it earlier,then later I heard Ferraro say the same on Fox.
I told my friend that their would be many who will see it. So here is what I posted for him.
As a Deacon at my church I have had the privilege to be involved with a limited assisted retirement center in my town. I teach a Bible study class on Monday nights, and on Sunday afternoons I give a sermon in their activities room. I have been having probably 20% of the residents come to hear my studies and sermons in the last 3 years. I also offer one on one counseling when needed. I guess you can say I have gotten to know more then a few of the residents at WindChime.
In the three years since I have been serving the Lord there, I have heard many different opinions when it comes to the political leanings of the residents. I would be lying if I failed to admit my consternation with some of them, as to their political leanings.
I am proud to say that probably 70% of the ladies I deal with are, like me, loyal conservative republicans. Of the other 30%, I would guess they are democrats with a few independents, and one or two who do not vote and probably never have.
To make my point for which I am writing this, and I do have a point, I will deal specifically with the ladies who lean democrat and independent.
I have often seen the way their eyes light up when Hillary Clinton’s name is mentioned. I have also noticed how they would avert their eyes, and lower their head just slightly, whenever I would compare modern day politicians like Hillary to bad behavior in the Bible. It was almost the same reaction I would get when I mentioned either George Bush or John McCain’s name.
In the past year I have overheard quite a few conversations about the elections. They were noticeably energetic with a certain twinkle in their eyes when Hillary was expected to be the democrat nominee earlier in the year. Then when it looked like she was in a fight for it with Obama, they spoke less and less about the process.
When it became inevitable that Obama would be the democrat nominee for President, they began speaking about the process again. This time however, I started hearing them talk of not wanting to vote for the first time in their lives.
Then one Monday evening before our Bible Study started, I had an interesting talk with one lady I knew to be a Hillary supporter. She looked at me and asked,
“Do you think Obama will pick Hillary as his running mate?”
I thought about the best way to answer her question, then I put my hand on hers, and as soothingly as I could, I told her,
“I do not believe Hillary would accept it in my opinion. I think Hillary and Bill want to be in control again.”
Then she said something that totally caught me off guard. She smiled and said,
“Good, I don’t want him as president. So if he does not pick her, I do not have to vote for him.”
I smiled and shook my head slightly and decided to leave it at that. A couple of days later is when we found out that he chose Biden as his running mate. I have not heard anything more from her since that day, at least about politics.
When the news broke that McCain had picked Sarah Palin as his running mate, I for one was instantly charged and ready to donate money to his election for the first time. I was particularly curious as to what the reaction amongst the ladies would be.
That following Sunday while I was getting the activity room ready for my message, and the ladies started trickling in, I asked what they all thought about Sarah Palin. The conservative women all chimed in about how charming and beautiful she was, and everyone one of them liked McCain’s pick. It even seemed to me that they had an extra bounce in their step.
As the discussion of Sarah continued, I looked around the room and noticed that even the ladies who liked Hillary were a little more spirited then usual. Most the of the ladies I deal with at WindChime, including most of the republican women, were not all that enamoured with John McCain just a week earlier, but now they liked him.
The woman who asked me if Obama would pick Hillary as his VP also seemed a bit spirited, with a certain twinkle in her eyes again. That same twinkle I had seen earlier in the year, when she believed Hillary was guaranteed the nomination.
As I said, my calling is to win their soul for Christ and usher them on home to God when He calls them. However, I must admit that when it is appropriate, and in line with the Scriptures I am speaking on, I slip and share with them my opinions on politics. As I gave my message that afternoon, I was especially lax in my separation of church and state business.
Now I admit that this is all antidotal evidence, but if you understand the way the democrats expect to get 90% of the retirement age vote, you can sense big troubles for Obama this November.
As long as I am allowed to share the truth with them, I will share the truth on everything I feel is pertinent to their well being. In my opinion, the less power the democrats have the less chance these women will be taken for granted.

I remember Bush (41) in 1992 and Dole in 1996. The last 2 days you could see the energy drained from them. They could tell it was over. Both Bush and Dole were roughly the same age as McCain.
I think that by now, both campaigns have a good feel on how things are going. If it was bad news for McCain, he would be subdued and shifting back to his senatorial mode. Especially considering his age. At 72, he would slow down if he knew it was over. Yet, he is happy and giddy.....almost like he knows something but can’t you you yet. If it is that obvious, both campaigns maybe sensing a convincing win for McCain.
I think we will see a Dewey defeats Truman tomorrow night.
The way McCain looked today, I would actually be enthusiastic to vote for MCCAIN, not just Palin, but MCCAIN himself.
He was energized, fired up.....alive.
He made you want to be alive and fight.
I just wish he was that way a month ago.....I think it would be even better for him. I am not going to snipe at him if he loses tomorrow, as I really don’t think there is anything else he could have done to win. Maybe get tougher in some things, mention this or that more, change the focus slightly, but if he does lose tomorrow, it was the political environment that led to the loss.
if he wins, it will be due to us getting everyone we know to the polls!
And boy, the way he is almost GIDDY and EXCITED today makes you want to be that way also.
I was at the Palin rally in Dubuque, IA today. It was awesome. I didn’t want to leave. Few others left until Sarah left the building and then people lined the street to see her motorcade off. I drove 2 hrs back directly to the phone center to start making calls.
