With so many polls showing Obama "ahead" you may be wondering why we should fight.
Here's why.
When you strip away the national polls and look down deep into each of the battleground states, you find that this is NOT a runaway election for Barack Obama.
In fact, the race is tied in almost ALL of the battleground states.
The Mason Dixon poll for Fla. and Virginia not only has Obama and McCain statistically tied, but up to 9% of voters in each state are still undecided.
We see the same trends in Ohio and Missouri.
For the past several weeks the media have been trumpeting every poll showing Obama ahead. Polls showing McCain-Palin's strength get shoved to the bottom of the page.
The media wants to create a "feeling" of Obama's imminent victory. It is nothing less than psychological warfare to drain you of your enthusiasm.
Don't buy into this nonsense.
We can win this!
I have been told that ever since we began airing our Obama and Rev. Wright ad in Ohio, McCain's decline stopped and he began to see a turnaround.
Right now we are pumping millions into both battleground states and into national TV ads.
Dick Morris says undecideds will swing in a big way behind McCain. But they need to be reminded how radical and risky Obama is.
We are doing that!
On Monday my ad buyer is on stand by. I will give him final instructions on buying ads Monday night and Tuesday morning.
I need your help to continue our final push.
You can help by Going Here Now.
You can see our powerful TV ads Go Here Now.
We are making a huge difference.
Thank you for standing up for our great country.
Yours for America,
Scott Wheeler Executive Director
P.S. Dick Morris said on Fox News that our TV ad exposing the Obama-Wright connection is the most powerful weapon John McCain now has. I can still place millions in new ads Monday night and Tuesday morning. Help me do this!

And...
With all due respect, that youtube video has got to be bogus. McCain down 1 in CA & up in NJ???
Saw it too. Can’t figure out what they are doing. Maybe it is reverse psychology. We sent our ballots in this weekend. All I know is not to listen to the doomsayers. Tuesday night they’ll be saying it’s all over by 6 pm PST. Don’t listen to them and go VOTE!
I've gutted animals with bigger balls....
time to change the channel...that dia-a-poll loser freak luntz is up next to discuss how big the senate and congress majorities will be.
It's for being a MARXIST and SOCIALIST, STUPID!!!
Donated...again and again.
Making calls, most uncomfortable thing I’ve done in a while. Not a salesman, private and don’t like to talk much and don’t like calls myself.
Keep the Faith!!! We WILL Win!!
Great post & encouragement! I have & will donate again! Have been urging my friends & will send another huge email s out to ask for another donation!
I read somewhere McCain has raised last few days 6? millions for ads, but not enough!
Rather pay now than pay MORE taxes later!
AND ....... Yesterday, I asked my dim neighbor if he had the sixpack I bet him if McCain wins. He has been adamant about the Bush and McCain are twins baloney. He got all upset and said he didn’t know who is voting for!
YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!
Most posters unlike you are pretty ignorant of how elections are won.
In the final days there are two thrusts made by every successful campaign. The first is to go after the undecided voters. These are the independent swing voters that often wait until the final days and hours before making up their minds.
The second prong is to run ads designed to reduce the turn out for the opponent. These are often called negative ads because they are designed to reduce the votes for an opponent not increase the votes for the candidate. The Rev. Wright ad is designed to turn Democrats against Obama. The I've always served my county ad is for the undecideds.
Independent voters, often called swing voters, sometimes vote for the left and sometimes for the right. They are not ideological at all. They vote for a candidate they can like,and trust ... one that they think will look out for their best interests. If a candidate personally does attack ads in the final days he will almost certainly lose these independent voters. If on the other hand he looks and acts like a nice person that cares for them... they will vote for that candidate. If you look at McCain's ads that show John McCain that is what they are doing.
If on the other hand you look at ads run by the Republican party or 527s, they are attack ads that portray Obama as follower of Rev Wright by showing Wright and what he has said. This is aimed at Democrats to stop them from just voting the party line with out thinking about Obama and his associates. It will Cost Obama Votes!
Those that are angry at McCain for not attacking Obama are just foolish. I am reminded of all the dummies that were totally angry with Reagan for his failure to attack Jimmy Carter in 1980. Even William F. Buckley was angry with Reagan for playing nice guy when he could have been attacking Carter. All William F proved to me was he did not know diddly about wining elections. Typical intellectual. See Peggy Noonan for this years brilliant idiot.
Had Reagan been as unknowing about running for office as William F., Jimmy Carter would have had a second term.
McCain may lose this election but his campaign has been fantastic. Many believe the media when they tell you McCain is not running a good campaign. The truth is if McCain was truly running a bad campaign the media would never mention it. Hey McCain we are doing all we can to defeat you.. so we thought we would tell you what you need to correct in order to beat Obama... RIGHT!!!
I may have missed this, but is there some indication in PA, (Amish turnout ?) that would provide an early indicator of how the state is going on Tuesday ?
Keep thinkin that. You will be in for a surprise tomorrow night. McCain has Ohio.
Put me on your list, I want to see some “Viking Kitty/ZOT’s”
thanks!
Think I found my own answer.

the trolls can’t help themselves but to come on here and make themselves look even more stupid
what did this troll say now
Anyone see these ads yet? In what states?
I’m starting to wish we had another two weeks before the election and it might really make a difference for McCain. I wonder how many of those coal miners did early voting for Obama before this story on coal was released. I agree with Fred Barnes that early voting has been a negative on the process, because people vote without knowing information that surfaces at the end.
That's the first thing you got (almost) right.

The qualifications for the VP ARE THE SAME as for President!
