THE POLLS FAVOUR MCCAIN. REALLY!

If you are a McCain supporter the state of the polls may scare you or even affect your enthusiasm so much that you may have accepted that an Obama victory is imminent. That’s exactly what the far left media and the Obama campaign wants you to feel so that you might not even bother to go out and vote ensuring them a victory.

Don’t let that get to you as history proves otherwise the Gallup poll taken at the same time in 2000 had Bush leading Gore by 51-40 and although Bush ultimately won the election it was Gore who carried the popular vote.

At the same time in 2004 Bush led Kerry 52-44 by the end of October the race was tied.

Of course in both those polls – 2000 and 2004 – Bush who was leading at this point went on to win the elections but in both cases they had tightened up and as those races prove the races will tighten up by election day and McCain is better positioned to win in a tied race then Obama.

So don’t give up stay energised and encourage everyone you know to go out and vote on Election Day no matter what the polls tell you.

IGNORE OBAMA ATTACK BUSH

This election boils down to whether it’s an Obama vs. McCain election (McCain wins) or an Obama vs. Bush election (Obama wins).

Voters are hungry for change; they are fed up with how Washington does business and are fed up with a president who they - fairly or not – blame for everything that went wrong in the last couple of years.

The democrats have yet to forgive Bush for the 2000 election and nothing he did or didn’t do would help them forgive him. At the same time many Americans including Democrats have questions about Obama and are not sure what to make out of him. Those same people could invision a McCain presidency as long as they are convinced that McCain is not Bush. Voters are not looking at Obama as their first choice but as an acceptable alternative.

After the Republican convention - thanks to Hurricane Gustov – Bush was pretty much out of sight and McCain succeeded in distancing himself from the president, McCain came out surging ahead in all the polls. Once the economic crises became centre focus and Bush appeared back at the forefront those numbers seemed to turn around. The argument goes like this: The economy is in crises, Bush is the president so its his fault (I’ll get to that in a further post). Bush is a Republican, McCain is a Republican, hence its McCain’s fault.

In A Rasmussen reports poll published on Thursday October 9th 45% to 28% Voters say that Barack Obama beat John McCain in Tuesday night’s presidential debate, but they also think McCain is better prepared to be president than Obama by an 11-point margin. What this says is voters would really like to vote for McCain but it seems that the president Bush is standing in their way.

I would like to see a poll put out that asks the following question: “If John McCain would be the Democratic candidate and Barak Obama the Republican candidate whom would you vote for?” my gut instincts tells me that it would be a McCain landslide in 50 states.

For McCain to win he needs to ignore Obama and attack Bush!

THE GREATER RISK?

There is so much talk of Obama’s questionable connections with Ayers, Khalidis, Pflegers, Wrights, ACORNs, etc. I don’t know what the truth it and what to believe. One thing is sure that there are questions and if elected this would be the first time in history the President of the United States has been accused of being associated with terrorists.

The Obama campaign has been trying to paint McCain as Bush’s third term. Whether you agree with McCain’s policies or not one thing is sure; McCain is anything but Bush’s third term. Remember 2000, Immigration reform, campaign finance, prisoner abuse to name just a few. But for the sake of the argument, let’s say McCain may be continuing some of Bush’s policies. Here is your choice.

You have a candidate who we don’t really know much about who may or may not be linked and associated with terrorists versus a candidate whose life and record is an open book who may or may not continue with some of Bush’s policies.

What would you rather risk?
