Obama always seems to overpoll and underperform at the ballot box.

His campaign is all about manipulating the media and the pollsters. Tales of unprecedented enthusiasm among African-Americans and ‘the youth’ lead pollsters to weight their samples to reflect this, which, of course leads to media reports of an oncoming electoral juggernaut.

Yet, in state after state in the primary, Obama was a flop at the ballot box. It was only through the use of various hardball tactics in party caucuses, as well as the exclusion of the Michigan and Florida primaries, and the presence of the superdelegates that Obama was able to garner the nomination of the Democrat party.

Whenever Obama is exposed to middle America, middle America doesn’t like him. He needs some kind of edge, be it running in an extreme left wing area of Chicago or running in a party with caucuses dominated by the extreme left wing of his party.

Obama ran too narrow a campaign and not just ignored rural and exurban white Democrats, but he mocked them.

Anyways, The Reality Poll™ is holding steady at:

McCain 52%
Obama 47%

BTTT for that! We still MUST GOTV! This is one of many topics to share with as many as we can reach...

Obama, on audio, reading from his book saying "white man's greed" quoting Rev. Wright.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7fi8STNlxM
"Some of the common factors that effect Bosnia or Los Angeles or all kinds of places on this earth and that is the tendancy for one group to try to suppress another group in the interest of power or greed or resources."
"Whether you are a white executive living out in the suburb who doesnt want to pay taxes to inner city children for them to go to school..."
[also in full interview at 9:22 and 12:20]

New 1995 Obama video on Wright
"Wright who is my paster and he is a wonderful man".
"My own faith which is not necessarily a traditional faith".
"Rev. Wright, my pastor who I speak about in a chapter the book, represents the best of what the Black church has to offer"

I have been calling a 52% McCain victory for the last two months now — that has been what my gut has been telling me. Nice to see I’m not the only one that thinks that way.
