I'm not throwing in the towel for McCain, but the current polls show Obama ahead in the final stretch.

But who knows.
Some haunting evidence of Obama's lack of experience may shake the public so much that they won't vote for him. I don't know. Stranger things have happened.

Remember this, though, no matter who wins the election...
We had to have a Jimmy Carter in order to have a Ronald Reagan.

I'm not going to lie, Jimmy Carter was a horriffic president. Gas prices were high, taxes were terrible, and jobs were scarce. But Reagan stepped in and 'saved the day' so-to-speak.

If Obama leads our country into higher taxes and fewer jobs there will be a Republican ready to step in and lead the United States on the road to recovery.

I think that's a key difference between the far left and the right.
Instead of focusing on all the gloom and doom, we look to the future with eagerness and optimism. People who focus on the negative things in life will only be a mental burden, so keep smiling. =]


Vote
McCain-Palin
And look to the future with a smile, not a grimace.

I think the thing is each generation views differently upon how things should be dealt with... which is why we have switches from Republican to Democrat, if either side made things very right we'd have only one party... but as said previously, I'm anti-party!

even though the polls show that i still dont think obama will win, if he does win though he'll most likely get killed, people have already been planning to assassinate him

One of the reasons I sort-of want Obama to win. People have been bitching incessantly about the Bush Administration and the Republicans for the last 8 years, so I think a change of party at the helm is healthy for democracy. Two outcomes: Obama does fine job, which can't be a bad thing. Or, Obama does an awful job and discredits Leftist politics and the Democrats in the same way Carter did and also discredits the all glitz no substance brand of politics.

That is the good thing I see coming out of Obama winning the election. Is that if he suffers horribly as a president it would kill the democratic momentum for a good 10 years.

honestly we can't afford Obama. Donald Trump has been going around saying how Obama is certain depression, and big companies are saying how they plan on firing employees because of the tax hikes Obama will bring. Then there's the democratic control in all three branches of the government, and Obama selecting at least 3 supreme judges. It will take more then 10 years to fix their socialist agenda which will fail, not work, because socialism fails whenever it's tried.

I haven't given up. You have to look at the polls and see the internals of the polls, and who is taking the poll. One thing I learned in my college statistic class is that you can make a survey say whatever you please, and the polls that have Obama far ahead has skewed internal polling. Plus, the polls are tightening up, because on election day none of the polls want to be wrong. McCain has always been stronger the the media lets on. A part of the skewed polling is to dispirit the republican/conservative base. And their polling is doing just that. I, for one, refuse to let the media win and am voting McCain on Tuesday.
