Thumbs up Signs Pointing To A McCain Victory - don't laugh

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/...ccain_vic.html

We've seen the media do this every election - try and convince the electorate of the outcome based on their faulty, biased polls. This election is different only in the intensity and effort by the media who is so invested in an Obama victory. The behavior of the media should invoke outrage among the electorate - they have abandoned their ethics and principles and have engaged in a vicious campaign against Mac and Gov Palin.

Don't let them influence, depress or suppress you.

What are they reading and hearing? That Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States. It's inevitable. It's his election to lose. What proof does the media offer? Public opinion polls that supposedly show Obama "winning" the race. (But see here and here.) The thousands of devoted supporters who attend Obama's rallies. The legions of blacks and young people who are more "inspired" than ever to vote for a candidate who understands their needs and interests. Etc. We all know the story by heart by now.

This is the "narrative" that the mainstream media has been imposing on this year's presidential campaign almost from the start. Remember how quickly the MSM jumped off the Hillary Clinton bandwagon and onto Obama's? Remember how annoyed and angry they became as Hillary refused to concede the nomination? The MSM decided that electing the nation's first black, socialist, anti-American president was politically and historically more important (and, for them, more exciting) than electing the nation's first female, socialist, patriotic president. And they are doing everything they can to achieve this goal.

Of course, we all know what the mainstream media's "narrative" will be if (I believe, when) John McCain wins the election: The American people refused to vote for Obama because of the color of his skin (and not because of the content of his politics). The "right-wing attack machine" scared voters into voting for McCain, even against their own social and economic self-interest. Black and poor voters were intimidated by Republican thugs and prevented from voting. We know this story by heart as well.

Another thought - If obama really had this wrapped up, would we still be seing the insane, frothing Left spewing all their hate and vitriol, all the personal attacks, all the attacks on every friggin thing this woman says?

Wouldn't their behavior be more magnanimous?

I hope the polls keep telling us Obama will win. That should scare the Republicans enough to have every Republican registered to go out and vote. I so hope McCain wins. He just looks like everybody's Grandpa and best friend.

Guess what McCain doesn't have a few more weeks. The election is a week from Tuesday, November 4th.
Clip from article:
In a few more weeks, the political environment in this country is likely to become a heckuva lot nastier.

LOL, probably not.

I'm praying for a McCain win but, regardless, I think it's going to be closer than what the pollsters and pundits are raving about. We'll just have to wait and see, which I'm content to do.
