McCain Defeats Obama in Stunning Upset

Posted on 11/02/2008 4:56:56 PM PST by RED SOUTH

AP Nov 6 , 2008

Early last night it became clear to pundits who had predicted just days before an Obama landslide , that McCain was going to be the next President. When PA went for McCain all eyes were on VA , OH and Fl and they too ended up in the McCain colum. Obama managed to carry only 2 Bush states from 2004 , IA & CO , but they were not enough to win or offset the stunning loss of PA which hadn't gone to a republican since 1988. How did the pollsters and pundits get it so wrong? Some say racism. In the end they failed to measure another historical record turnout. The huge turnout for republicans. Most polls only forcasted for a large democratic turnout. Barack Obama has yet to concede the election or ask for rioters to stand down. Gov. Schwarzenegger of Ca has declared a state of emergency as Los Angelas burns. Chicago and Atlanta are in trouble has police forces have yet to regain control of the cities. Rioting in other cities like New orleans is increasing. President Bush and President Elect McCain met with Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff to discuss calling up the National Guard to force the peace. In Congressional races the democrats were a lot less competitive than expected. In a speech today Nancy Pelosi said it was the darkest day in american history that our beloved leader Barack Obama had been denied the Presidency and blamed last minate ads about Jeremiah Wright.

I can hardly wait for the mourning in Europe and among our elite leftists to begin!

I must say if you are correct about McCain winning (AND I hope and pray you are!) I believe there will be riots and blood will run in the streets. I now go armed when ever I leave my home and will not be surprised if I may be forced to take a life to save my own. My sin, I fear, is I am an old white guy on a quadcane and Obama did not win.

I have said from the onset of this campaign that McCain will win easily. America is not ready to elect a radical liberal. It is getting closer every cycle, but we are not there yet. It won’t be long though. It is the nature of democracies and human nature.

Paste John McCain’s face on Harry Truman’s body in the famous 1948 photo “Dewey Wins.” Change the name to “Obama.”

In that case it would be "urban renewal."

Colorado will vote for Obama?? I doubt it...Maybe if Colorado were Denver, Boulder and Colorado Springs!!

I think the leftist (and DBM) will start attacking PRESIDENT-ELECT McCain (what a great sound) on 11/5/08, and DU and Kos will go on suicide watch!!

I can’t fathom why anyone would have shed a tear for Kerry. That clown has since offered nothing useful nor has he accomplished a damn thing since his loss. I’m still waiting for his “plan”.

................
I think McCain is going to win big and the radical liberals in the democratic party are going to find the long knives in their party pointed at them because people will say they had the perfect storm of an unpopular war and a looming recession/depression—the worst since the great depression—and their guy couldn’t win.

they will change.

as it is, if you will notice bush morphed into a wild spending liberal.

that said I agree the republican party as its currently constituted can’t endure. there has to be a change among the republicans — if only to face the big shift that’s will come from the democrats as a result of the their loss of the presidency—again.
