Gore won the popular vote and lost by a few hundred votes in FL, which would have given him the election. Kerry barely lost in the electoral vote with Ohio being the deciding state. To say that Obama can't win ignores political reality.
Other factors that can change the results are the rapidly changing demographics of this country due to immigration and an Hispanic birth rate that is double the general population, and a weak, flawed Rep nominee who will have a hard time winning a significant portion of his base. McCain favors amnesty and believes in manmade global warming and the need to address it thru legislation, i.e., cap and trade. How Left wing are those ideas?
Here’s a sad thought...
I actually READ a transcipt of McCain’s speech from Tuesday night.... it was a pretty decent speech. Some really good things in there. Unfortunately, NO ONE heard it.. because, NO ONE could stomach watching that creepy-looking guy for more than 5 minutes.
MEANWHILE.... Normally solid fiscal consveratives gave rapt attention to the “new messiah” as he proclaimed “this moment” as the time when the nation began to care for the elderly, gave good-paying jobs to the job-less, and healed the planet. Man... who doesn’t like that?
The visuals in this election are KILLING us. When it’s this bad, it simply does not matter what the candidates say.
PS> 9:17 am EST... looking out my window, and birds are still flying. No BOOM! I’m convinced... even if there is a tape, it won’t matter. After all, Michelle is not running.
