How McCain can pull it off

The Bills lost the superbowl

Translation: Republicans will cheat again and don't be surprised when your vote doesn't count.

Susan Milligan's sports comparisons seem both irrelevant and boring. This article could have been written by a High School student. Put Milligan back on the sports beat!!

Kind of a silly "analysis," isn't it? Comparing a candidate far behind in the polls to a sports team behind in a game or a series? A team can always win if it has the skill, even if the score suggests for the moment its opponent has more skill. It's a tightly controlled situation involving a few people in a stadium. And a few lucky breaks can make a big difference in one game. What does any of that have to do with a presidential race? McCain can win--if the polls are grossly inaccurate. Otherwise, all the skill in the world won't cause millions of people to vote one way when the day before they were inclined to vote a different way.

This has to be the softest "journalism" I've read in weeks. Why don't you just save us all the thirty seconds it took to read your fluff piece and redirect directly to Pollster, 538 or RCP instead (where we'll actually get an answer to the question you pose at the beginning of your stupid article.)

How McCain can pull it off: transform into a sports franchise and win despite overwhelming odds. Honestly it's not even worth refuting. You're a terrible writer.

I truly believe that is the heart land , the conservative and God fearing people get out to vote "IT WILL BE McCALIN ? PALIN"

Keep dreamin McCain

U CANNOT LIKEN A MAJOR POLITICAL ISSUE TO ONE OF FOOTBALL!! ITS ABSURD. D RED SOX AND McCAIN? THOSE ARE TWO EXTREMES AREN'T THEY? THE SUCCESS OF THE RED SOX WAS A RESULT OF THEIR GAME PLAY AND NOT A SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART BY THE AUDIENCE. THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME WAS IN THE HANDS OF THE RED SOX, THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION IS ENTIRELY IN THE HANDS OF PUBLIC AMERICA. NOT THE SAME THING!!

how can you compare sports stats and political poll stats? it doesn't even make sense. sports stats are based on actual player and team physical performance. whereas polls are other people's opinion and their likelyhood to vote of them. if sports teams' wins/losses were based on how we vote for them then that would be a fair comparison. what a waste of time.

Seriously, why do you political commentators always INSIST on making sports analogies? This isn't a race to grab a meaningless collection of wins for a trophy. Unlike baseball, the "winner" doesn't just get a famous tally, but an absurd mess of problems to deal with and a world of issues to face. Unlike baseball, candidates ("teams") have extremely different ideas and philosophies and very different goals.

The American idea of this election being a game is disgusting. That we compare an educated vote to a "point" due to some cunning sports play really undermines the whole idea of an election, as well as voter intelligence. It doesn't help that we as a people have become so pliable and, frankly, ignorant enough to be swayed by advertising and mass media and red herrings. (Yes, I say that as an Obama supporter.)

Stop trying to distill one of the most important elections in our history to a petty sports game. McCain will lose because the American people are sick of modern GOP policies, insulted by his embarrassing choice of VP, and saddened by his sellout out to the most vulgar of the Republican base -- not because he made any "errors" during his campaign.

Bad anology and logic. If the Red Sox's win were determined by the pollsters they would have lost. The battle is being determined by the folks who are being polled, hence Red Sox \( Read McCain) would lose.

She tosses out a pair of sports analogies to prove her point that McCain still has a chance in a political election. I'm not sure if this is a categorical error or just plain dumb - either way it's hogwash. How about, McCain's down by twenty-something, his old knee injury's acting up and time just expired? If you're going for sports, honey, that would probably be closer to the mark!

Its a shame a great American has to be seen as the underdog against a Socialist

Our country is cooked!

He can and he will.

Just rig another election like in 2000 or 2004.

Wen

I can relate, on some level, to the sports analogies for coming up from behind in an election. That said, I see little statistical or scientific relationship between sporting events and elections.

Are you aware of any US Presidential election where someone who is polling as poorly as McCain is actually prevailed?

This isn't a football game. This is the future of our nation. Get out and vote.

umm guys this is not a sporting event.

It would be incredible despite being outspent 2 to 1 and having the Media act in the most revoltingly biased manner ever.

The Globe is putting years of journalistic integrity on the line for a man who has been tied up in the rackets in Chicago. You can not defend Obama's house purchase with Rezko, any involvement is abominable. He plugged Bill Ayers book. He almost broke a record voting "Present", he voted 97% down party lines, he took more from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than everyone but Chris Dodd, has less experience than anyone running for President in the past 50 years, etc. etc. etc. Beyond that, he wants to spread the wealth, is poisoned with vanity, is critical of the Founding Fathers and wants Supreme Court Justices to be pawns in his social engineering. Add to that a congress dominated by the furthest left wingers in decades, I appeal to the better senses of the Globe and its readers to heed the word of Arnold Schwartzeneger and not change this nation to that of a weak second tier european nation. People want to come to the United States to get opportunity. We don't want lazy losers who are looking for a hand out.
Further, the bottom 50 percent of earners only pay 3% of the cost of government. the top 25% pay 86% of the freight, do you think they get 86% of the benefits? In other nations the wealthy don't give nearly as much. Here, the wealthy pay and give opportunity to those that pay nothing. The wealthy pay the overwhelming amount of the freight for our police, firefighters, teachers, military etc. If people aren't paying for these services they at least ought to be thankful.
Obama wants to give welfare checks to people that don't pay taxes. How on earth does the Boston Globe believe that he is the right choice?
To the academic socialists, you make significantly higher profits than the oil companies and have gouged us more than them in the past fifteen years. You want socialism because when the market bears at affordabity limits, if education is subsidized you know you can charge more, and you do. You want governenment subsidies so you can get more than you deserve. Every social engineering policy tried has failed miserably and has hurt the people it was meant to help i.e. how affordability was made worse for housing due to socialistic policies like the Community Reinvestment Act.
Our elderly have paid into social programs and Obama will bankrupt and swamp these resources with deadbeats that ought to be out working and earning. Younger workers need to be sled dogs to help pull the weight of an aging population, we don't need lazy losers who feel "entitled" or Obama's base.
You don't build a middle class by letting the government control the resources of our Nation. Think about how resources will be doled out if Obama, Pelosi, Reed, Frank, etc. gets your money, they will give to groups like ACORN. Don't believe me, 20% of the Bailout money was headed to ACORN in the first draft of the bailout. At least private companies have profit and loss responsibilities and have to compete. Governments don't so if we let Obama control our wealth and resources we'll let government control them. Do you think government ever does anything correctly? Government screws up everything so the last thing we need right now is to let them tie up our wealth, which is one of our resources. Second tiered socialistic nations control their nation's wealth and that is why they aren't competitive and why their best and brightest come to the United States.

How can he pull it off? It's called Caging and Electronic Voting.

Works like a dream.

The simply truth is that there are more Democrats than there are Republicans in this country. In historical terms, this election will serve as the pivot point for Democratic Party dominance from this point on...until, their policies swing too far left for even the most hard-left-leaning Democrats and Socialists. Then the Libertarian Party will emerge as the most likely opposing political party. This is the end of the Republican Party, as we know it. It will dissapear, or move/transform into the Libertarian Party...you heard it here first!

Unless he made the call to Karl Rove and his friends at Diebold (the Republican-owned voting machine company), it's fairly unlikely.

This article is silly. The election is not a sporting contest. Sports has nothing to do with politics.

"Everywhere I've gone, there is just tremendous enthusiasm'' for McCain, Donatelli said.
Yes. The seven people that show up are very enthusiastic.

Im sorry, but the author seems to think that the eleciton is a sporting event. How many times are you going to make a sports analogy? How about some other sports anologies, yesterday the Giants beat down the cowboys 35-14. there was no comback or last second cowboy heroics. just an old fashioned beat down.

The Globe's worst nightmare. Guess it can;t write about Obama's aunty Moochie living off of the taxpayers.

Results of those sports comebacks depended on the performance of the players not on the audience. Here results depend on voters not on the campaign.

It is also mathematically possible that my wife and I could have 36 babies.

It will probably not turn out that way, though.

I'm sorry, but comparing a political campaign to a comback in a sporting event is patently ridiculous. No similarities whatsoever.

McCain = Bush. That's the campaing in a nutshell.

This is an ELECTION, not football or baseball. Show me an election where someone pulled this big of a comeback, and I might believe it more.

Sporting events have absolutely nothing to do with this campaign! There is no way that Barack Obama will lose tomorrow! All these articles are just giving false hope to the ignorant McCain supporters.

What a bunch of Tripe.
I am amazed that the Author of this article thinks that sports and politics are comparable.

What a shill.

Prepping the public for ANOTHER illegal election.
Give us a break and report news, thank all the Gawds that we have real journalists like Amy Goodman.

What exactly is the point of this puff piece? To support the truism that anything is possible? To keep McCain supporters in the game for another day? It's not hard to get a quantitative estimate of where things now stand: of 14 independent polls published today, only one has Obama at under 50% of the popular vote; averages for all these polls gives Obama 51% to McCain's 44%, with very small deviation from the mean. Two reliable (and different) statistical meta-analyses comprising all these data project Obama will win 344 and 357 electoral votes, respectively, and McCain's chances of winning the electoral vote tally as 1.9% and 1.3%. Pollster.com conservatively projects Obama will win 311 E.V. At this hour, the people with money down on the outcome (Intrade) make it 364 E.V. for Obama and 174 E.V. for McCain. As an Obama supporter, I know I am going to sleep very well tonight.

A vote for McCain is like a vote for Alf Landon. Abandon bumpersticker politics R's and embrace the irresistable wave of history that is about to carry you away!

YES WE CAN

Chicago politics in Washington? The informed voters will not buy it.

Liberalism is a mental disorder:
1- Jewish voters that vote for a PLO loving socialist will guarantee the destruction of Israel. Why? Liberalism is a mental disorder.
2- Mayor mumbles Menino is supporting nObama. Obama is good freinds with terrorist Bill Ayers. bill Ayer's wife was the driver during the murder of a Boston police oficer. Why does Mayor Menino support Obama? (see above)
3- Kathleen Kennedy (daughter of the late Robert Kennedy) supports Obama. Obama friend Bill Ayers dedicated one of his books to Sir Han Sir Han. the assissin of RFK! Liberalism is a mental disorder!!!

It's mathematically possible to take a dump off a bridge and hit a car going 65 MPH's but chances are that poop will just splatter on the ground. But John McCain is too old to be driving, so there is no chance of him being struck or winning...

Was the writer of this column seriously using Red Sox and Patriot comparisons to make a point that McCain can win? Really?

Obama wins big tomorrow.

This is a last ditch effort to milk some press out of these campaigns. At least have the good taste to reference the Dewey and Truman election. The Red Sox in '04? Please, land yourself another beat. I don't normally boo articles but "boo".

And John P? Charges of corrpution against the running democrat might work in the future but against the current republican establishment formed by Bush and Cheney and John "Keating 5" Mccain bringing up the rear, you might as well accuse Obama of being late paying his school loans. Please, go to sleep now and
wake up the day after the election.

There is only one reason I would be happy if Obama wins...so that I can say "I told you so" to everyone I know who voted for him as he fails miserably and repeatedly. Obama was in the senate for 143 days..how is that experience????? He has surrounded himself with people of questionable character during his formative years and atttended a so called church where he and his children were subjected to the rantings of an angry lunatic. It's as if Americans heard the word change and stopped asking questions - the premise of change has stupified this country into an Obamified trance.

And Hades could frreeze over, too.

The difference between McCain and Obama is so striking. McCain needs to retire and Obama is the future. McCain has no new ideas, no concept of what it is like to be an average American, and has no clue as to what America needs.

Obama, on the other hand, is thoughtful and intelligent, uses reason, is forward looking and has the ideas to make America a better country and move into the future.

It's especially gratifying to read Republicans saying stuff like:

"There are many of us conservatives out there who have never been questioned/polled about our choice for president. I believe that you are going to be very surprised tomorrow. Mark these words.........."

OK Pauline if you insist, I've marked them, now strap on the bib and start eating those words you tired, defeated bag-o-Bush talking points.

OBAMA Might win but WILL get SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no evidence the Republicans will win anything - their time is up!

All of you posting on here are losers. Grow up. Guess what, no one cares what your opinion of this article is.

Enjoy your life thinking that you matter.

As we sit here on the Eve of the election, I wanted to send a message out to people who will vote for John McCain because of character. You should know this. While McCain spend five years in a POW camp, his wife a former model, waited for him patiently. Unfortunately, before he came back, she was in a car accident, after which she was never physically the same. Shortly after McCain returned from his 5 years at the Hanoi Hilton, he ended up divorcing his wife. Later, he admitted that he did this out of his own selfishness. Read: His model wife wasn't the same attractive woman he had left behind. From there, he moved onto the likes of Cindy.

Well, IF Senator McCain loses, WE REPUBLICANS won't be kicking and screaming, crying, whining like a bunch of spoiled little school girls like YOU Democrats. Even though YOUR party has controlled the Senate for the past two years (great job bringing the troops home Pelosi, windbag), you have got NOTHING accomplished and have an approval rating LOWER than the President you despise. Pull your head out. P.S. Check the voting on the bailout package, and also the last President to be impeached.......was who? Like a good Republican I have to go to WORK now..
NOBAMA '08

WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WILL VOTE FOR SOME ONE NAME BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA . YOU HAVE TO BE IGNORANT.

how and the heck can you people live with youselves??Really read any info that there is a connection between Railia Odinga Obama ..Do you have the testicular
fortitude to actually read more than ypu type!!!How about the socialist /communist
beliefs the guy is so tied to??? Ralia Odinga is a relative and was raised a communist country....Do those of you who praise national health really understand
that Canada citizen's come here for health care ie surgeries because social medicine, socialism, over taxation has ruined their way of life ....Also a word for those who knock if Mccain ,Mcbush,McPalin, whatever you wish to paint his name wrong wrong shame on you.Alsothose whowish to leacve go now will you work there guess what it takes six months to apply they won't take you unless you have atleast six digits in the bank.....

Go McCain!!! the fact that McCain=Bush is a good thing, he didn't get us here the idiots like barney frank and his pushing changes to mortage lenders got us here. If McCain loses look for the voter fraud cases against the ol democrat way "vote &vote often" even if you are dead!

America! America! The world is watching you. To most of us it MATTERS. What you say, what you do. You are the only considered Super Power. It does not necessarily mean militarily. Wall Street trembles and the World Shudders. The President you elect, impacts the World. If there is anybody who thinks otherwise, is quite genuinely quite closer to the next life, and has given up on all things of material value. So please choose well. MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL ITS PEOPLE to make the right choice. Hence can the selection of the US President be compared with any game, Baseball or any other sporting game. NO Certainly Not.

Do NOt vote for OBAMA!
I come from a background socialist and I tell you Obama will make US So poor that if you don't have money now you will be in total miserry. The Terrorist will have open entry thanks to OBAMA.

The worst indictment about the author of this article is that she came up with a big headline to draw readers but end with sport analogy which has very little to do with the political reality. I am politically independent and really would like to know how McCain can pull it off with a electoral game plan. What are the"must win" states? What states McCain can afford to lose? Yet all the author offer are some recent experiences with Red Sox and some comments from Republican operatives. What do you expect RNC people to say other than something to rally the troops? If the writer thinks the poll is not telling the whole truth, she needs to explain why she thinks so. In stead all we get are sports analogies.

Overall,That is journalism at its worst: sensational title with no substances. The author is advised to take a break or get back to a respected school of journalism to get a better education.

Old age and a hockey-mom playing with a Horsepucky !!!!!!!!!
Mr. McCain would have done better to pick up an old used Samsonite briefcase, put a bra on it and would have been better of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HorsePucky!!!!!!!!!!!

Those of you who want the government to "help you out" e.g. "spread the wealth" just to get a change in governance would do well to remember the words of a former president "A government that is powerful enough to give you everything you want is a government that is powerful enough to take everything you have" Gerald Ford
If you need a present day reminder witness the fortunes of entrepreneurs and businesses in present day Venezuela and Bolivia under their "social revolutions".

I quess you are all just too young to remember.If that is so you did not pay much attention to history in school. Harry S Truman was so counted out a major Newspaper printed its headlines BEFORE the results reading DEWEY WINS and as you must know by now HE LOST! I Hope Mr McCain wins as Mr Obama is NOT presidential material with all his known ties to radical racists

I'm not wishing any bad luck on Obama, but if anything happens to him, and Biden takes his place, that would be spooky!

Now if something happens to Biden, then either Nancy Pelosi (Even worst) or Robert Byrd (Ex Klan Leader) will become president (Don't want to even go there).

He better not win (McCain) or we are moving to Canada.

I ASSUME YOU WILL BUY THE HOUSE NEXT TO ALEC BALDWIN ,YES?

McCain has released the Wright Ad just two days before the vote. Remember the NH primary? From 10-12 points lead to a loss. And both McCain and Palin are now shouting that calling on a candidate's record & associations is not a 'negative attack'.

The Wright Ad seems to have an effect on some people. Specially in PA, VA and OH. It may similarly effect the 'Toss-up' states.

Using the RealClearPolitics 'Create your own map', change all toss-up states to Red & you get: O-278, M:260, T:0. Add PA: O-257, M:281, T:0.

M wins with 11 to spare! That is McCain strategy. 'Last 2 days Wright Ad' effect on toss-up states + PA.

Pllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee let a fine war hero and his wonderful choice for VP Sarah win, and maybe the ugly sludge will slink away from our shores, to Canada, Cuba, wherever. Maybe the delusional media will crawl after them, and let us real Americans repair the ravages they've left behind. Go away - we don't want you here.

Clean 'em up, John ~ don't let that Socialist/Marxist get near our White House~!!!

Hey Pedraza, go back to Mexicania. Or wherever you filthy roots are from.

MCKRUSH a thought out to you....The big thing pushing this election is the economy, the economy was ruined but the Dumolecraps, so whats your point?
Check your facts....ot better yet, check mine!

When Truman beat Dewey the press were shocked.They had Dewey in a landslide Truman had NO chance. Dewey was the great speaker words flowed like music Truman on the other hand was much like McCain outspoken and a little crass or insensitive as it was know.But in the end the american people actually made up there OWN mind and were no talked into casting their vote because of the media.I can still see the headlines in one paper DEWEY WINS were they humbled

Just remember, because of the great method the founders chose to design for the election of a President, the number of votes matters little. You only have to win each state by one vote to win its electoral votes.

It doesn't matter if Barry Obama wins New York by a million votes. He gets nothing extra. Turning out the vote for Obama in NY and California is an exercise in futility.

Obama is so far ahead in the early voting that McCain would need to win nearly 70% of the election-day votes to overtake him.

And that isn't going to happen.

How can you compare politics and sports??? In sports, if you practice constantly and try very hard (and squire good players) you will probably win. In politics, a yankee player can fight as hard as he wants, play his heart out, but that doesn't mean a red sox fan will support him. In sports, the "candidates" decide who wins by who plays better. In politics, the people decide. The fans don't pick the winner of a sports game!!! Sheesh, how idiotic can you be? PLEASE TAKE THIS DOWN.

He better not win (McCain) or we are moving to Canada.

Seriously? What, are you five?

Hmmm, a lot of these comments are very similar in tone, content, and writing style.

Sweet, he could win...or we could have the other socialist.

Really with these people? Someone read Atlas Shrugged for god's sake. These people are ALL SOCIALISTS.

They are parasites, surviving off our labor.

Am I the only one in this liberally-blinded state who sees through the Obama mask? The media has fooled you all. This man is not a god, not even close. He speaks of change, but I am not convinced. Just wait until he turns America into his socialist nation and we are all just puppets, stuck in his racist agenda. McCain may not be perfect, but at least he is honest.
It makes me sick to my stomach knowing that my beloved America will be led by this man.

I would like for those who want to leave if the most qualified canidate wins..do so asap really four yrs in senate seat no results= OBAMA what a joke ..You want to bash Bush too is it his fault that Clinton sold off most of our military during his hmmm leagacy?????As a result 9/11 happen yeah while the Clinton rec'd credit for our booming economy when it was all the rage with computers as an industry.
How about the what handouts for Obama /Mac/ fannie Mae and most dems you all love free money and hand outs...that's the socialist in you wait untill your a** has to pay for it...

Wow. Combing through the comments here is like shifting through well-used kitty litter. Sure, there's lots in there, but most of it's crap. It's fascinating, and more than a little troubling, how easy it has been for Sen. Obama to fool you marks.

John P.

You're obviously well knowledged in the campaign, but like the canidates, you say a lot with very few points. The majority is suffering in this country, plain and simple, And if that means we need to let a couple freeloaders slip through the cracks to save the many who will barely be able to afford heating and food, then so be it.

I wonder if either canidate has the vision for eight yrs. I feel that they both are measuring the drapes as will anyone who runs for any office..Will they be ready with their knowledge from being in war..Yes McCain is healthy yes Obama is young to young possibly connected & possibly enlightened by some strange
range fellows. Also McCain rich as **ll sure is that his fault that we save less than 5% of our income.Also in the last 7 yrs we have 4 fold with credit cards?? yeah its sad we're giving up and want free everthing but don't want to pay for ie medical

Obama bought all of the media outlets. He bought all of his votes. And he still might lose! I love it. If he does lose, I look forward to all of the media of all of you people on this posting to CRY, CRY all the way HOME!!

Getting nervous? Huh? Oh, I see McCain is now projected to win 268 electoral votes! OH NO! YOUR MAN IS GOING TO LOSE! OH NO! OH NO!

Glad Canada is going to be getting so many new taxpayers. Fly Navy.

If Obama and Biden rode a donkey off of a cliff; Who would be spared?

America!

Vote Mccain and show Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the liberal media that they do not reflect our values, beliefs and do not have our trust!

IF the Acorn/Obama cabal doesn't succeed in diluting too many legal votes, McCain/Palin may pull it off. If not, then the democrats, with house, senate, and white house will be able to run wild, and trip the current recession into a full blown depression with increased taxes and protectionist tarriffs.
"Democracy, a form of government where the people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

Obama was ahead in the Gallup poll 41-28 right before the NH primary. Hillary ended up winning by 3 pts. Matter of fact, the polls in the Democratic primaries overstated Obama's strength by an average of 7 pts. With the Bradley effect and the general underestimation of Republican candidates, McCain can still pull an EC victory.

For those who are complaining about Palin's experience, look at your top ticket. OBAMA HAS ZERO EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE.

Barack will win and all you Barack liberla supporters will be happy and in 4 years you will all be begging to "Just Change" again to a new candidate because of the ideas Barack implements.
He stands for socialism people, do you not understand that. Ask Canada how a socialist health care program is working and you will beg for private healthcare. Ask European counutries about being taxed more now than before, you'll be amazed at how much of a "discount" our taxes are as compared to European countries. And these things are all things that Barack wants to do. Oh, by the way, under the Barack Tax Policy, he says he will tax individuals and business over $250k, which his VP Biden has now claimed is really $150k per household, trust me that number will go down to about $60k per household by the time it is implemented. And for all of you that think he is going to cut your taxes if you make say less than $60k per household, he's not going to cut it, he's just not going to raise your taxes. Listen to his plan or read about it in the USA Today. So "Buyer Beware", your buying it, please don't be one of these people that say "I told you so."

Obama is Jimmy Carter redux. He wins, if he wins, this country loses. Get ready for tax and spend, all you blind followers.

The press is so far in the tank for NoBama that it will be enjoyable to see how their "main man" gets portrayed when he loses. For sure, there will be howls of "Republican cheating" when he comes up short. And then of course, there will be the "R" word thrown about.

Can't wait to have a Dem back in the White House.

We are so much better off since the Dems got control of the Legislative branch back in 2006...um, aren't we?

Obama = Deval. Look what a great Job Mr. Patrick has done here in the Peoples Republic of MA...uh, hasn't he?

Tonight I am praying very hard for our nation. I suggest you all do the same

hahahahha error free campain. thats a laugh riot
the socialist, terrorist loving empty suit has made so many pathetic mistakes, there isnt enough room here to write about them. he's a walking mistake, as is his policies. its just that his water carrying scumbags in the media have covered them up

YOU GUYS ARE ALL MISSING THE POINT. THERE IS AN ANALOGY: its the ODDS!!! Probability is the unifying theme, it's not a complex analogy, it just is one, he's saying it is not over yet....... and McCain is gonna come back , watch.

For once, I wish all the liberals who keep threatening to give up their citizenship and move would just do it. Republicans don't whine and complain. We deal with it and act like grown-ups. I'm feeling pretty optimistic. Not for MA; McCain is unlikely to win here, but I think people will stand at the voting booths and decide the empty suit is too great a risk and a grown-up is needed to run the country.

If Obama can't win after throwing $600 million into purchasing the American presidency, he should be drummed out of public life.

OBAMA 2008
Because THIS time, Marxism might work!

It will be a bittersweet pleasure to be able to say "I told you so" to all of you Obamaniacs. All of you nice mainstream people are getting lulled into voting for the Leftist not Liberal!. This isn't aimed at the "progressives" in their Che tee shirts and Arafat scarves.........they were in Obama's camp from the start, This is aimed at all of you country club marxists.

Well,
This has been a jaded campaign for Obama. He is a person that has terroist ties regardless of his denial and the U.S. citizens of this country wanting to believe otherwise. He has no politcal expierience but being a community organizer "WOW". Never really had a political office. This man claims to have been one of the ones to vote agaist the war a farse he walked into senate a year later. He voted to take away the middle class earnings to bail out wall street and the S&L's. I am a registered Democrat voting for the Republican Party. The better republican was taken out of the race due to a Kennedy that now regrets what he did.

People with jobs will turn out in greater numbers than expected for McCain. If not, they deserve to be taxed into oblivion.

Can we please leave Buckner out of this? I'm stressed out enough as it is.
The only reasonable sports comparison is the following: In game 5 of this year's ALCS, many fans left the stadium early thinking that the game was over. It was not, and although their departure had no effect on the game, they sure missed a heck of a comeback. Similarly, if a lot of Democrats think that Obama has everything sewn up, they might be foolish enough to stay home and not vote. Nothing should be taken for granted.

You can not compare sports to politics, however if you do Obama's victory will be similar to the October 7, 1916 victory by Georgia Tech over the Cumberland Bulldogs 222-0.

Change is coming.

Considering how much voter suppression is always being perpetrated by the Republicans on the American voting public it will take a landslide in favor of Obama to eek out a narrow Democratic victory. So get out and vote!

McCain can't steal elections like Bush did cause he's to mavericky. Not enough Republican criminals friends on his side, though he has plenty, he's burned to many bridges over 27 years covering his own ass while throwing others under the bus.

You want a sports analogy, if McCain wins it would be like the old grey mare catching Secretariat at the wire.

"If McCain even comes close to Obama, it's election fraud all over again."

See, that's the problem with Democrats. They're not just right, they're sooooo right that anyone who disagrees with them isn't just wrong, they're evil. And of course everyone knows that in a contest against evil there are no holds barred; anything goes, and is completely morally justifiable.

Well I have some news for you Democrats: Your treatment of Sarah Palin was HATEFUL and DISGUSTING. Your treatment of an innocent plumber from Ohio was HATEFUL and DISGUSTING. Your treatment of George W. Bush has been BEYOND HATEFUL and DISGUSTING. You've eaten too much of your own dogfood and have become the very thing you claim to loathe.

Congratulations. You must be so proud.

please, a bit more intelligence and a little less of the wildly inappropriate sports analogies...

Hello Americans !

In 4 years, you will be very disappointed by electing Obama. He won't do anything for the country! He is a lawyer and he knows how to convince you that he is the best choice. But in reality, he will seat on his chair and will wait for the second term.
