Obama web video threatens McCain win
Washington Times ^

Posted on 09/27/2008 12:55:07 PM PDT by Chet 99

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has painted a grim picture in a new Web video aimed at getting record voter turnout - a John McCain victory.

The YouTube video, posted but not released to reporters, features a mock MSNBC projection that Mr. McCain "wins" the Nov. 4 contest, 51 percent to 49 percent for Mr. Obama.

"John McCain elected 44th president" and "Voter turnout lower than expected" are the mock captions with an MSNBC "Breaking News" headline under a smiling Mr. McCain.

"It doesn't have to be that way," flashes across the screen before the clip sends voters to the campaign's VoteforChange.com site. It urges them to use the site to "Register to vote, request to vote absentee, find your polling location."

Actually, when McCain wins, I’m going to watch the returns on MSNBC. I may get to see a few on-air suicides. (Read me, Olbie?)

McCain’s landslide a comin’...I've seen this a lot lately, and it's got me thinking. What does landslide mean? Does it have an actual percentage tied to it?

I'm looking forward to the quadrennial spectacle of the infobabes wearing black on the day after the election.

MSNBC likely made it. They are so in the tank for Obama and make no excuse about it.

The only ‘bad news’ part of that clip is that 49% of the country is stupid enough to vote for an empty suit.

McCain should clip off the last part and put it on his site.

Someone must be editing the comments ... thus far there’s not beena single positive remark.

I just don’t see what was so horrible about the video. It was GREAT.

Look at Reagan’s landslide that’ll give you a percent.

Obamorons are such pussies. McCain let’s anyone post any comment on their YouTube channel. Obama-Biden’s channel only allows comments by “approval”, meaning that only acolytes may comment. Just like Keith Olbermann’s show, on which he is too much of a pussy to allow a single person on with whom he disagrees.

Exactly. Isn’t this EXACTLY the same as McCain using Katie’s perky face?

Barack Obama EASILY has the worst campaign advertising team since, well, John Kerry.

Unfortunately he has 3 broadcast networks, two cable networks, and dozens of magazines and newspapers as campaign volunteers.

“It is all going to come down to Get Out The Vote efforts in battleground states.”

Correct. GOTV is worth 5%, and this is a 5% race.

“Who will be canvassing on the next four weekends?”

Did 3 hours of blockwalking and leaflet distributing for my state rep candidate. Everyone needs to do the same. There are ‘battles’ in each state and in many levels -Senate, Congress, statehouse as well as President. Do your part and we all win.
