Maybe Not So Far Fetched

Here 3 reasons why I still believe that a McCain win isn’t as far fetched as you may believe…

1.) The polls are skewed left intentionally and will cause a large number of Democrat voters to skip the vote. More important things to do than vote for Mr. O as he’s already won.  The media has never in history campaigned this blatantly for a candidate. There will be a price to pay.

2) Voter reality – we are only hearing from the vocal minority of Republicans and Democrats. Why do you think Obama had the World Series delayed for a 30 minute commercial?

Newsweek has an interesting take on this:

… Three fifths of the electorate that shows up once every four years to vote for president but mostly hates politics. These are the 75 million folks who didn’t vote in the primaries. They don’t read newsmagazines or newspapers, don’t watch any cable news and don’t cast their ballots early. Their allegiance to a candidate is as easily shed as a T shirt. Several million moved to Obama through September and October; they’d heard he handled himself well in the debates. Then, in the last week, the LIVs swung back to the default choice: John McCain. Some had good reasons other than the color of Obama’s skin to desert him; many more did not. In October, a study by the Associated Press estimated that Obama’s race would cost him 6 percent. The percentage was smaller, but still enough to give the presidency to McCain.

3.) Today’s attack into Syria may lead to events that will bring up national security as an issue again. Obama will drop significantly if this issue were to become one of top three before the election. Biden’s prediction may come true in the next week.

Fingers crossed…
