What if they gave an election – and the Media was Wrong?
I know this election is over. I first heard the election was over last year. Fortunately, ABCCNNNBCCBS let me know that it was the year of the Democrat and that there would be no need for the Republicans to take the field.
This year, they crowned Obama the “one,” the “messiah,” and some other names indicating that there was no need to believe in ideas, it was enough to believe in a person. Oh, and they also reaffirmed that the election was over.
I realize that there was no point in my soldiering on or questioning ABCCNNNBCCBS but I did notice that Obama was supposed to win the New Hampshire primary by 13 and he lost. Then he was supposed to win California primary by 10 and he lost. In fact, he lost all of the primaries in every big state except one.
Indeed, the only large voting primary he won was Illinois and I am certain there were no shenanigans there. Right?
Now I find out that AP poll: 1 in 7 voters still persuadable... And so far the early voting in Nevada indicates not much of a youth vote. In early voting in Florida McCain may well be up. Even better, McCain is way ahead among absentees in Florida. And the military vote is more than 2 to 1 for McCain. Even in California, of all places, the early voting is balanced.
Could it be that ABCCNNNBCCBS are wrong? Could it be that Willie Brown is right that the polls are overstated by 5% in Obama’s favor? Let’s see, if I get my calculator out and do the math:
3 - 5 = +2 McCain.
Sorry, got to run. Turns

The media will be wrong no matter who wins. The media is always wrong.
I’ve seen some polls where dems were oversampled by %25.
This election is a referendum on Obama and the MSM. Turn-out is the key. I believe some Obamedia folks are going to be very surprised on Wednesday! VOTE!
It is very obvious that the “main stream (aka leftist propaganda) media” is actively backing Hussein for president. NOTHING they say or print should be taken as truth. EVERYTHING the say or print should be taken as an effort to boost Hussein. Do NOT believe what you read or see or hear in the leftist media.
And be very careful about falling for stories about “infighting” and “dissention” inside the McCain campaign. There are leftist operatives posting these at conservative sites expressly to demoralize and suppress GOP turnout.
We are seeing a media blitz of historic proportions and intensity aimed at getting Hussein into the White House. Be aware and do NOT fall for the propaganda. It is pervasive and ruthless and will continue right through to last minute when the last poll closes in Hawaii.
Now we can profit from the media being wrong.

I look at this election as nothing less than a battle between the MSM and the alternative media.
They looked the other way on a number of shady dealing and charcters to help Clinton get in in ‘92, but they can’t get away with ignoring the bad side of their child dictator in this election.
We’ll see who can win in this battle, the media; and their stilted propaganda polls, will be greatly diminished after this election if they lose.
There was one poll I was looking at today where the independants were polled and the raw numbers had McCain up 56-33 and then the weighted numbers had Obama up 52-36. In other words their weighting took out only the McCain supporting independants.
It would be wonderful as it would show that there is a GOD and the Media can’t destroy our Faith anymore!
I see this election as a battle between the power of the leftist media and the common sense of the American people.
The old “Rob Peter to Pay Paul” group has swallowed the lie that the President has the power to affect such a change.
We in the U.S. are a LONG way from turning socialistic.
If there is civil unrest after the election on Tuesday, it will be 100 years before another black is pushed/supported to run for POTUS.
The pollsters make money when they sell their polls. The media is the main buyer. If the results are countering the media’s deliberate, deceitful bias they won’t buy and distribute them. The polling organizations are clearing trying to make money, to he** with the truth.
Respectfully disagree.......I believe it will be 100 years before a black/SOCIALIST/MILITANT is supported for POTUS........I believe a black conservative could win in the near future
