Blind Faith, or Secret Knowledge?

According to a piece in the UK Independent, Barack Obama and his team believe they can win by a landslide, and take states including Virginia, North Carolina, and yes, even Indiana. Their secret weapon? First time voters, and getting out the vote.
But if that's true, why talk about it? Just be quiet and watch the plan unfold and surprise everyone on election day. Could it be that the Obama team is using its friends in the MSM to try a little psychological warfare?
And if all of this is kosher, why is an unnamed advisor telling the reporter that Obama has more "paths to the nomination" (emphasis added) than "paths to victory"? Sounds like someone is a little confused.

There was some movement toward Obama in the polls largely due to the bailout. However Obama should be a little worried about were he is in the polls.
If Obama is below 48% in battleground state polls the last week before the election he will likely lose. The undecided vote will break towards McCain. If someone is not yet behind Obama, despite all his positive press, doubtful they will support him come Election Day. |

The whole plan for backing Giuliani or McCain this year over a Republican candidate was that these two libs would put several Blue States in play. So what has happened?
1. McCain has not only failed to put ANY blue states (states Bush lost in 2004) in play, he is actually losing in five red states, Virginia, NC, Colorado, NM, and Iowa, (states Bush won in 2004).
2. In the "toss up" states, polling is trending hard towards Obama. Two, Missourri and NC have flipped from leaning McCain to leaning Obama.
3. Obama is getting stronger across the board as McCain continues his "I can't make up my mind which side I'm on" lunacy.
Pick a side already John! How about leading YOUR party! Nobody trusts a mealy-mouthed weasel. |

How is it that Obama gets credit on the economic side of things??
He has no experience on the economy. But yet it automatically a given that he is stronger on the economy.
Explain how ? Anyone ? If anything he should explain how he got $500 million for his district but yet it is worse than ever on housing, crime, drugs, etc.. He put the money to good use, right !!
Or maybe he just passed it onto the corruption of ACORN.

Some of the worst flip flopping in this campaign has been done on the side of the libs. Everything from Iraq, Iran, Russia/Georgia, The 2nd Ammendment, the bailout....you have got to be kidding me! The one thing that can be certain is that John has been John and love him or hate his that is just the way it is. He is solid and unfortunately that is what keeps some Repubs at arms length...they call that "moderate". Obama is not getting stronger...he is faltering terribly. He has slowly been slipping in popularity since March. I am not a big tracking poll person, especially with this campaign because while many may say that they will vote for BHO outwardly, in the booths they will do something different. I hear this directly from the mouths of so many. They are verbal in their support of this "history making pres", but in the voting booth their vote will reflect otherwise. They did this with Kerry in 2004 "Oh, he is going to win big!"...and then he lost terribly. |

For some reason economic problems historically favor the democrats. It has nothing to do with Obama. Why anyone would think the dems are strong on the economy after the debacle they just help create is beyond me. |

Read the polls. The problem with you noseholders is that facts mean nothing. Polls only matter when they suggest that maybe you are right. Otherwise, it's McCain is the only one standing between us and a complete collapse of Western civilization. Well wrap you head around this: if that "bailout" bill goes through, the American free market system is DEAD. This isn't a bailout, it is the creation of a permanent facility for seizing private assets to create funding for low-income housing.
Where is McCain in all of this? His support has been reduced to Lieberman, Grahamnesty, and Bill Clinton. What a team! |

Obama will win because both the Senate and House Republicans became greedy and corrupt in the previous 12 years.
For every William Jefferson there were dozens of Republicans in the local, state and federal governements gulping at the trough of greed.
Throw in sex scandals like Foley, Vitters, Craig and numerous other local and state pols, and you have a Republican brand in rebuke.
Obama is winning because the previous 12 years of Republican politicians totally lost their moral compass. |

Think about this - the polls go up and down for the candidates - who are these people that are going back and forth? Are that many people first supporting one and then the other? If not, what's going on? It seems to me that the pollsters assumptions - how many dems, repubs, inds - to include is what always makes the polls go up and down. I don't think they really have a clue. I certainly have no idea who's "really" ahead. |
