It appears you prefer cheerleading to people trying to realistically speculate on the odds of a political contest.
I didn't see you say anything realistic about anything.
So, stop your pretending to be pro-McCain.
Oh, give me a break. I've been voting a solid Republican ticket since I was 18 years old, and this election is no different. There's nothing wrong with trying to realistically asses a candidates chances.
Given that I voted for the man, that's a rather silly statement.
And everyone of those anti-McCain posters always claim the same thing, they are really pro-McCain but, but, but....
Once again, you haven't stated a single FACT that leads you to believe that McCain is going to lose.
So, you didn't do any assessing, you just came on the thread that was there to motivate, and gave your 'I'm not optimistic' nonsense.
And as I said, no one cares what you feel about the race.
Take your defeatism somewhere else.
I agree completely.
The Democrats want to suppress the McCain vote by discouraging McCain voters to keep them from going to the polls.
Let’s NOT let the Dems TELL us, who will win, let the people decide, by VOTING.
Let’s “win one for the Gipper”.
The race is indeed close and turnout will decide the election.
If anyone needs any motivation, just think of Obama-Reid-Pelosi triumvirate ruling the country.
BTTT
Especially in Virginia!
The MSM will call Virginia early based on the fringe exit polls from Norther Virginia.
DO NOT believe this....continue to vote in spite of the MSM spin for Obama!
You’ll be wrong, but thanks for voting anyway. I voted three weeks ago. We’re going to pull this one out!
Less than 48 hours!!! One final push to save the U.S.A.!
The challenge:
Between NOW and election day, convince at least two Obama/Undecided voters to vote for McCain. (family, neighbors, friends, people waiting in the check-out line) Further, convince these two people (or two others) to take up the same challenge. (Like a chain letter)
So you have converted people in the past? Good, but we need more!
Many Obama supporters are mindlessly supporting him, with no real reason, this means it is VERY easy to get them to switch over. Even if you fail, other Obama/undecideds may be in the room and hear valid arguments and question their faith in the One.
Don’t kick yourself a week from now saying “I could’ve done more....”
Do your part...your country depends on it!
Although I am for McCain, I prefer to consider myself more anti-socialist, pro-life pro-american, pro-capitalism, pro-family, pro-opportunity, anti-tax, christian, god loving, pro-veteran, pro-U.S.Military, flag flying sort of guy!
Obama is leading at the national level in virtually every poll. Fact.
The current RealClearPolitics electoral college estimate has Obama up by over 100 electoral votes. Fact.
Obama has massively out-spent McCain. Fact.
Black turnout will be higher than any point in history, and over 95% of blacks will vote for Obama. Not a fact (yet), but do you have any doubt?
I've got more...
None of these will ensure an Obama victory. McCain can still win...but being overly optimistic is foolish.
I certainly hope so.
Speaking personally, I’m an anti-socialist, pro-American, pro-capitalism, pro-gun, pro-opportunity, anti-tax, atheist, pro-veteran, pro-U.S. Military, flag flying sort of guy myself...so we have a lot in common!
*today's "Obama Sez Yur Rich So Don't Be Selfish Or Feed Your Own Kids Income Level." Values subject to decrease without notice at anytime to pay for nutty and counterproductive leftwing programs.
The Cubans in Miami are fired up to beat this guy. they all say he is the second coming of Fidel.
RCP Average 10/27 - 11/01
Obama 50.4
McCain 43.7
Obama +6.7
THIS IS NUTS!
I am still hopeful that Obama will lose, but I'm not optimistic. Our best hope is that the Democrats will not break the 60 seat barrier in the Senate. If the Republicans can hold enough Senate seats to block the socialists from complete control, then we can survive until 2010.
In 2010, the Republicans will be poised for a landslide takeover of all levels of government, just like 1994. Hopefully, the Republicans won't blow it this time.
Absolutely. It's a huge advantage.

Most speculation I've seen is that the Democrats will have around 57 or 58 seats...but it could break by 2 or 3 either way. If they get 60 seats it's going to be real ugly.

The party that's not in power at presidential level usually (but not always!) gains seats at that point in the cycle.
