I'm calling this election...
...for Obama. Yes, that amounts to an admission that I was wrong in my previous many months of predicting that McCain would win, despite polls and prevailing trends. I simply had felt that McCain would come across as a more reassuringly "American" candidate at a time that America is feeling anxious about its place in the world.
The economy's nose dive is helping Obama, as we all know. And in the pres and vp debates, he and Biden have outperformed Team GOP, laying waste to the notion that they are "wet behind the ears" novices.
The media seem oblivious to this fact, which is why their post-debate analysis is unwatchable. So cowed are they by conservative hammering of their biases that they can't call what the American public is calling in virtually every survey: Obama and Biden show the commanding presences and savvy intellects that instill confidence in most any species of mammal. I'm puzzled and amused by how media "experts" attempt to achieve balance by refusing to admit that the Dem candidates are winning these debates.
McCain needed to show that he was clearly in command to reverse the course of this campaign. That didn't happen.
I watched the debate at USC tonight, surrounded by undergraduates who were mostly positive about Obama. Most of them scoffed and chuckled at McCain throughout the evening, with some students groaning about "how old" he seems. What a change from when I was a USC undergrad, surrounded by conservative mobs who idolized an aging Ronald Reagan. Tonight, the few McCain candidates that I talked to afterward seemed to feel as outnumbered today as USC's liberals did in the mid-80s.
Who cares what USC undergrads think-they know nothing. They haven't worked or payed taxes. If I were McCain, I would keep the drill! drill! drill! mantra going. Remind voters which party has blocked drilling and reactors for decades and gave us $5 gal gas. High gas prices have slammed our economy into recession. The Dems convinced Fannie/freddie to change time-tested banking rules and purchase sub-prime loans-oops there goes our financial sector. Finally, play a comercial loop of Obama and Rev. Wright.
Obama's run for president was carefully orcastrated by
George Saros and his pals at moveon.com to gain control of our nation,if this happens we are in big trouble! Please read the book researched and written
by Floyd Brown about Qbama,s rise, "it is a real eye opener". The name of his book is [OBAMA UNMASKED]
[THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ] for every American!
P.S.
No wild claims, just the facts!
Let's put a deliberate lie to rest. As a nun once told the class, the worse sin is a sin of scandal. The Bill Ayers controversy was a smear -- promoted recently by Gov Sarah Palin is a lie. Proof: McCain filed papers showing that Leonore Annenberg, president and chairman of the Annenberg Foundation, endorsed and heavily contributed to McCain. This is the foundation that funds and controls the board on which Obama served with Ayers. Ayers was convicted of a crime when Obama was 8 years old. Ayers, according to all accounts, has been rehabilitated. Former Illinois Republican Rep. Diana Nelson representative called smearing Obama for his board association with Ayers "nonsensical." "It was never a concern by any of us in the Chicago school reform movement that he had led a fugitive life years earlier ... It's ridiculous," said Nelson. "There is no reason at all to smear Barack Obama with this association. It's nonsensical, and it just makes me crazy. It's so silly." I know that Ms Palin does not read but a public apology is in order. She along with McCain are purposely spreading scandal.

Reguarding John McCain's assertion that Mr.Joe Plumber would be taxed out of his business if Obama is elected.If this were true it would probably have more to do with "Joe" not having a sharp C.P.A. doing his companies tax return. Most rich Americans know how to get around paying their fair share of taxes.
