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.

I know what you mean and I agree.
Last night I had the TV on in the background, as usual, and zerO was at a rally. He looked like he was angry, his brow lowered and his face set and grim. As he left the stage, he seemed in a hurry to get off and he didn’t seem to want to work the crowd. I watched him do a little shuck & jive dance step to get himself off without any more engagement. He had the tiniest of meager grimaces that was almost a smile and his head was down and away from the majority of the crowd.
This was prior to him receiving the news early this morning that his grandmother had died.
Today, I saw Bob Beckel on FNC. I have detested him for all the time I have been politically aware and I am familiar with his demeanor in various public situations. He was down. He kept his gaze on his notes. He tried to downplay today’s Fox Opinion Dynamics poll and immediately segued into the internals, spinning the importance of the early voters. I just had a gut feeling that he was having premonitions of all his other losses, once again, and, of course, he has had so many (lol).
Then I saw Mac and Sarah and Cindy and they were glowing! John looked 20 years younger and full of energy, even after his whirlwind of rallies. I am not sure I could have done it and I am 7 years younger than he is and probably in better shape.
All the stars seem to be in the process of alignment.
Please, God.
