Don't Count Him Out Yet

Unless Sen. Obama is ahead before the election by at least 15%, Sen. McCain will be the victor in the next Presidential Election.

I really do think Sen. McCain to be motivated, emboldened by Sen. Obama's lead in national polls.

I think it's under 5 minutes to go in the 4th quarter and Obama has the football and a 7 point lead. If he fumbles or makes a silly mistake, then that might be enough to let McCain back in the game. If he tends his business, then he's the next POTUS.

If McCain's going to have any chance, he has to start winning on the economy. It really will come down to that one issue on election day. If he can find a way to gain credability or an advantage on the economy, he might make it interesting. Until now, the polls show that hasn't happened.

Re: Don't Count Him Out Yet

Remember Gore was leading in the polls right before the election as was Kerry. The Zogby poll, which has proven to be the most accurate the past few elections, had it at 4% this morning.

Carter was beating Ford by 31% in 1976 during the summer, the lead was cut to 11% by the fall and he ended up winning by 1% on election day. I've never known an election in which the Republican won that the polls had the GOP in the lead. It was either "too close to call" or the Dem was ahead.

Three weeks in politics is three lifetimes.

Re: Don't Count Him Out Yet

My Mom's church is starting tonight every Tuesday evening prayer just for our nation and the elections.

I wish more would join them.
