Toast - Why Obama Will Lose and the Political Analysts Will Be Destroyed
seanmaelstrom.wordpress.com ^ | Nov 3, 2008 | seanmalstrom

Posted on 11/03/2008 10:27:02 PM PST by LibertyUSAmerica

I’ve checked my email, and I have over a hundred new messages. And I can’t get to anything resorting to ‘Sean Malstrom’ due to real life situations. Luckily I changed my career gears long ago. But my old profession of political analysis is going to be absolutely destroyed. I still think McCain will win the election and do so by a larger margin than Bush did in 2004. When this happens, a hurricane of outrage will be unleashed at the political analysis business, mostly the pollsters. People will demand to know how they could be so off. In other words, the future of the political analysis business will be destroyed as their reputation will become destroyed in the upcoming days.

Best analysis I've ever read that approaches politics from the human as opposed to the analytical, mathematical aspects. After all, it concerns people. The author made two comments that I thought stood out: that Obama is this cold person who is indifferent to his own family and on the other hand, you have people who under different circumstances would never work together, meeting across lines to defeat him. His lack of "warmth" and the enemies he has made doom him. Obama spent close to a billion dollars yet never established a rapport with the American people. Its turning both into a referendum on him and into a referendum on his leftist socialist views. If America doesn't like his views, then neither will they trust him. We will see tonight what the country decides about Obama and his vision for its future.

Very impressive. Indeed, the content seems so good that the lack of proofreading becomes wholly unimportant. A look at the rest of his site shows he’s no schlump.

So, we’ll remember his name if he’s right, won’t we?

Seems like a clear-thinking person — and a very smart one.

I do hope, as we all do, that he’s right.

Thanks for posting this.

"every single pro-Maccain post is either a vanity, blog or no name pundit"

you didn't even read it did you?

Because the media is so slanted, and refuses to say anything positive about our candidate, vanities are ok by me:......they are posted along with the "Obama already elected in 2012" and "Obama winning 400 electoral votes"......as a counter balance.....

at this time , keep the good vanities coming...we can choose to read them or not....

Conservatives are that scared to death that's one reason they're coming out today, another is conservatives are angry at the MSM and want to teach it a lesson and conservatives just like Sarah Palin that they want to vote for her. All those reasons will fuel an explosive conservative turnout we haven't seen since 2004. The MSM and the pollsters are missing this development. They have focused on the Democratic story but have neglected the other half of the picture. That's why I believe the polls don't show the intensity, passion and resolve to defeat Obama that animates conservatives. That may be far more decisive than the black vote in this election.

I have had a realstic view of the polls since they turned (back then folks loved them remember?, we were ahead)

and I have had to fight nonstop with thread bullies over it.

one must simply buy the koolaid or else

our only hope is record....really record GOP tunrout

"I doubt this guy is right"

is he wrong in saying that even the pollsters report record numbers of hang ups?......is he wrong when he states that Rat numbers are given more weight due to cross over votes, Puma votes and youth votes?

Is he wrong when he says what we all feel:.....there is a strong, strong surge for McPalin not reported by the drivebys?

and is he wrong when he states that Politico and the 538 sites were set up suspiciously around the time barry started his coronation drive?

that barry is pulling the same tricks now as he did to "defeat" Hillary? ....the propaganda machine working overtime to give false impressions?

there is much right about this article.....

You know.. conservatives are just fed up. It takes a lot to get riled up but what we've seen has made us had enough. That's all that be said today. GO AND VOTE!

Heartwarming analysis...and I know how I fit into it:

From my keyboard to your words, if you aren't p*ssed off, you won't make history. What will it take to get conservatives to make history? Or are we going to leave that to the Left?

Well I”m not sure about Palin, but the MAC IS BACK! Heck, let’s take our yellow ribbons to the polls. Let us not forget what John McCain sacrificed for us to have this priveledge tomorrow.

Obama's socialism scares people. A lot of Republicans are very motivated to vote

That is the truth. I don't particularly like McCain, but he's already gotten my vote and my wife's (and a bunch of others I know) just because he isn't Obama. Literally, for the first time in my life (I'm 47) I'm scared - terrified - of a major party's candidate for POTUS. Before I merely disagreed, was disgusted, hated, loathed or tolerated them (with the exception of Reagan - him I loved and respected). At least all the rest were basically patriots, and any differences I had with them were over policy or judgment. Not so with Der Obamessiah - scariest candidate I've seen on this continent EVER.

Really interesting view. Especially his point on where Obama is campaign ie big cities...and how safe that is relative to how much McCain/Palin are going into Kerry territory and gaining huge crowds.

We’ll know soon, and I hope his view is the right one.
