Listened to Rush’s show today and McCain and Palan are drawing huge crowds and they’re on fire. Pray and keep working. The media is trying to demoralize us with their Liberal lies!!! Go Sarah Go
MSM = Socialist traitors, IMO.
Conservatives are getting fired up. I hope they keep it going. They’re pissed and Obama and they won’t sit down and shut up.
This election will not be a blowout. It will be a 2-3 point race with decided by a couple key states. Polls overstate Obama’s current advantage, but make no mistake he is in the lead.
I agree.
It is my contention that this analysis is flawed in that Obama is not up in many of the places the polls have been twisted to put him on top.
If you really look at the polls he’s not really behind, and any comeback will be small, if Obama leads at all it’s tenuous and miniscule.
Obama will come close to firming up his base as well as Gore and Kerry, who both lost.
Obama will NOT, NOT, NOT, come close to the traditional advantage in the female vote that is part of the dem path to victory.
Both of these stories would be headline news and lead the nightly “news” broadcasts if Obama were the Republican candidate.
Their only HOPE (Obama & MSM) is to create the alternate reality where Obama is way ahead and our “inevitable” President, hoping to CHANGE the unfortunate reality that he is going to lose.
The national trends are all against McCain. One debate left. McCain has to make the most of it. A repeat of the last debate performance and McCain is done. Palin is holding up her end. Its all up to McCain now.
Correction, Obama will NOT come close to the support of the base enjoyed by Gore and Kerry.
Even Gallup themselves must think something is screwy with an ELEVEN point Obama lead in a poll. Even if you are trying to game the results, that is too big a margin to pass the smell test.
YOUBETCHA!
>Can McCain make a comeback?<
Not unless he takes these suggestions:
If he is truly for the U.S.A.:
Please come down hard on ACORN, Obama’s long association with it, and ACORN’S association with the collapse of the housing market due to pressure to make subprime loans.
Please change your plan for amnesty for illegal aliens. The American people are extremely against McCain/Kennedy.
Please announce your opposition to nationaizing the banking system.
Plase continue to expound on your opposition to earmark spending and emphasize opposition to big government. (Shame on you for voting for the bailout - NOT a maverick move.)
Please promise to keep health insurance in the private sector.
If McCain will do these things, and follow through on them, he just might make a comeback.
“Even Gallup themselves must think something is screwy with an ELEVEN point Obama lead in a poll. Even if you are trying to game the results, that is too big a margin to pass the smell test.”
Gallup might be 11 (registered, if LV-should be around 7 or 8) but the rest is more accurate...I still believe through it all....McCain will come back....we are finally getting to the core of Obama...and it is being exposed and ugly. Mainly the voter fraud is being revealed now and NOT later!
Gallup Tracking: Obama 52, McCain 41.
Rasmussen Tracking: Obama 50, McCain 45.
Hotline Tracking: Obama 47, McCain 41.
Reuters Tracking: Obama 48, McCain 44.
Battleground Tracking: Obama 48, McCain 45.
AVERAGE: Obama 49, McCain 43. (Obama +6%).
Well, the stock market has GOT to stop going into a daily lemmings-off-the-cliff mode (Dow is down 400 as of 3:31 EDT). Voters can’t separate the facts out enough to know McCain isn’t responsible for it.
Rush was rocking today just as McCain/Palin were at a rally.
If he and palin keep the fire stoked as they did today in WI the polls will move!

American voters must truly be naive and stupid.

Absolutely positively correct!!! I watched the whole rally on Fox (well, until they broke away) and it was electrifying!! THE crowd was stoked. They want Obama revealed and they/we want McCain to fight. AFTER today with ACORN in the headlines, Ayers.....we will see polls start to move back...it already has from last week moved more our way.
Important things he needs to do to ensure victory Nov. 4th:
1. Make a quick campaign run through the South, and openly court the black vote while he is there. Not as a centerpiece, but he needs to confront the racial charges being leveled at his campaign by stating very clearly that he will be the President of all people regardless of race, religion, or background, and this will be reflected in the people he chooses to appoint to his administration (without naming names.)
2. The Democrats are sitting ducks on Fannie Mae. McCain/Palin just need to close the verdict. McCain wants to be Mr. Non-partisan, but Fanniegate was a national embarrassment and people want heads to roll. Conveniently, it just happens to be all the democrats fault. This is more damaging to Obama and the Democrats in Congress than the Ayers story ever will be. The iron is hot on Fannie Mae, the time to strike is now or never.
3. Ayers and Odinga, are important side issues that speak to the character of Obama. These hot button issues are best picked up by partisan RNC advertisements. Let McCain/Palin work on FannieGate.
4. Low taxes = more revenue for Government. Quote John F. Kennedy on this subject often, and explain how lower taxes created the Reagan boom. "Do you want another Reagan economy? Vote for us!" This positions the campaign as a type of new Reagan administration instead of an old Bush administration.
5. President Bush has been mis-characterized and demonized for years, and RNC has sat on its hands and let it happen. RNC is at fault for that. RNC could possibly still help to a small degree by putting out pro-Bush ads "We thank President Bush for his leadership" with slideshow of President Bush at work in our Country. Its kind of late for that now, for which RNC leadership should be ashamed of themselves, but it may help.
And RNC should vow not to let this happen to McCain by supporting him and Palin with positive advertisments throughout the term of office to counter the negative attacks that are sure to come.
6. Cindy McCain is a secret weapon. A truly remarkable woman as we saw in the films shown at RNC convention. They need more positive advertisements... and heres a great one already made except the length. Edited down to campaign size TV ads, a quick "slideshow" of Cindy in action in a 30 second spot will help America see our new First Lady in action around the globe. (She looks really great in a flight suit, be sure to include those pics!) Obama cannot counter with anything to showoff Michelle that will match this... so this will be a good "tie-breaker" for undecideds.
