McCain’s Pollster Is OptimisticPosted on Oct 29, 2008
Don’t count John McCain out just yet. His personal pollster recently told the campaign that “impressive strides over the last week of tracking” mean the race could “easily be too close to call by next Tuesday.” That sounds like obligatory fluff to some politicos, but NBC’s Chuck Todd sees it differently.

59% of 16 million early voters favor Obama. 9.4 million votes for Obama; 6.6 million for McCain. This is according to the Washington Post.

Why isn’t anyone dealing with the obvious?
Report thisAny thorough investigation into the 2004 and 2000 elections will conclude that the results were doctored and that the elections were stolen. Be it via the “middle man” approach or by reversing ballots entered into the bogus voting machines, the GOP managed to not only steal the election but convince americans that it was plausible. This year, the narrative is to convince us that the difference will be attributed to the “racist” faction of amercian voters. No wonder this pollster calls it close; he’s in on it. McCain’s “personal pollster”!!
Waky waky, folks. Fool me once…

The Republican’s are whistling past the graveyard. They are DOA. America knows that another four years of the last eight years would be a catastrophe for this country. The GOP’s unfettered free market capitalism has taken away 40% of our life savings in one year. Now we literally cannot afford four more years of the same old crap.

VIDEO: Brad Friedman and Harvey Wasserman on ‘Democracy Now!’ with Amy Goodman
“After all these years, believe it or not, it was my first appearance on Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now! this morning. I was happy to appear along with my friend Harvey Wasserman of the great Columbus Free Press to discuss our many concerns about Election Day 2008, touch-screen vote-flipping, voter roll purging, and the woeful effort by the DNC and Obama Campaign to take steps to correct these enormous problems. So happy, in fact, that I almost didn’t mind waking up at 4am to do the show. Almost. I hope you’ll not mind the fuzzy webcam I had to use from my dark, pre-dawn cave this morning during my appearance.”
The video follows in three parts, the text transcript is here…

What is the source of optimism.
The impact of relentless character assassination?
The suppression of voting?
The subtle thrusts against Obama’s race?
The evil robocalls?
The McCain scornful smirks?
The Palin serial lying?
Sounds like a respectful campaign.

Maybe, but together with the racial hatred of not wanting a black man as president and working in close conjunction with diebold and ess electronic voting machines and the sec. of state in swing states and the fbi, the chances of mcpalin winning are at least even on tuesday. When will we ever learn that he republicans will not give up another election without some kind of dirty tricks(which they believe they are entitled to do) and they will not win another election, at least not this one, honestly.

Former fed chairman Greenspan said the country cannot afford McCain´s tax cuts for the super-wealthy.
Report thisAnd McCain will destroy Social Security. Would it be bad for America to have Social Security like in Sweden ? There´s hardly any crime in Sweden.
Sarah Palin believes the danasauers walked the Earth 4,000 years ago. That´s enough to know she is nuts.

Malignant optimism projected with a wide-toothed grin is so fogy.

The msm is trying to cover republican ass in case they succeed in stealing the election again. We all know that voting machines have been flipping votes from democrat to republican or independent in early voting.

The only way this is a close race is if the Republican fix machine is in overdrive.They are not going to give up power easily.When you have God on your side you can do anything so fixing an election I think falls under anything.It is not like they have not done it before.Fix an election ask for forgiveness.Fix an election ask for forgiveness.A perfect system.

here is a link to polling data by Rasmussen that shows that McCain is now more trusted on taxes and the economy than Obama

The only reason the Republicans are claiming the race will be or is too close to call is that they intend to steal the election again, if they can, and they need to put all this mythology out there to make it look credible. It’s not going to be possible to steal the election if Obama wins in a landslide and you better pray to whichever God you believe in that he does. If he doesn’t, America’s stuffed for the foreseeable future and will have no moral authority whatsoever, at home or abroad.

What is going to change is intensifying the manipulation of the election from making it physically difficult to vote , few machines slow check up of the voters identity , changing the voters and finally rigging the voting and tiling machines. That is what is changing , the white house asked the attorney general to investigate the validity of the registration of 200,000 voters, even after a supreme court order to stop such process.
