Head Games Coming Your Way

Three things the Obama-media will do:

(1) Calls for McCain to just give up and quit, because the race is over.

(2) Wild claims of Obama winning states that shock and surprise you

(3) Repeated insistance that blacks and young people will decide this election,

and they are all going to vote in record numbers for Obama.

Brett Says:
October 31, 2008 at 3:15 am There is one concern I have about election night… if anyone remembers 2000… media outlets were calling states early for certain candidates while the polls were still open… as a result some people didn’t vote. Also, it’s a fact that Democrats are more likely to take the time to take part in an exit poll than a Republican… I suspect the MSM… will pump this up…and may try and sway the election.

Don’t Count Yourself Out . . . Whatever the issue is, please don’t count yourself out because you think you don’t matter or because you don’t think it will affect you. Your vote does matter. http://auguriesofinnocence.wordpress.com/2008/11/02/dont-count-yourself-out/

Dean, if you’re a Democrat, I’m sorry that you will choose not to vote for your own interest due to some prejudice you have against Chicago politicians.

Todd, great question.

Today, I spoke w/a friend of mine who is very pro-Hillary. He doesn’t like Obama, yet seems to not know why.

It’s our job to make sure that people like my friend to at least keep their minds open about Obama.

Elites?

Elite people like African Americans and students?

Nice try, GOP troll.

Republicans, Independents and Democrats will rise up against the elites and defeat Obama and his most egregious friends. Patriots put America BEFORE party.

Anybody but Obama is in full swing.

No Obama Nation and Operation Turn Down are gaining steam.

No Obama!

Solid points, Todd. I really think that these polls must be taken with a huge grain of salt. Emotions are running high on both sides of this contest, and I’m sure a lot of Clinton supporters are frustrated that her supposed sure thing has turned out to be a bust.

In past elections, polls showed a similar reluctance on the part of McCain supporters and Dean supporters to fall in line behind Bush and Kerry, respectively. And I think statistics show that given the benefit of time, each came around to the eventual nominee.

This doesn’t even come close to rational thinking. Support Hillary one moment, then flip to a GOP candidate that opposes virtually everything she stands for the next as opposed to supporting the next Democrat in line? Where do people like that stand, exactly? What are their possible convictions? Today you support Universal Health Care, but without your favorite candidate, you’re dead against it? Today, you support withdrawal from Iraq, but if you don’t get the blond, you want to stay for 100 more years and colonize the Middle East? It goes to show, sadly, that large swaths of the electorate are politically comatose and basically cast their votes on a random impulse, as if they were flipping channels on the boob-tube looking for something more interesting to watch for the next half-hour. We’re in trouble if these polls are true. We’re a society of morons if these polls are true.

Jenny, certainly there are affluent, well educated professionals supporting both candidates, but the numbers show they fall more to Obama than Senator Clinton. Just as the vast majority of older, white women are supporting Senator Clinton, but my 88 year old grandmother says she’s voting for Obama.

Mark and Zen are precisely right in my opinion. I’m behind Obama, but if he fails to get the nomination (far-fetched, but you never know….) I will bite down hard and support Senator Clinton. And the biggest reason is judicial nominations. George Bush & Co. have had eight years to mold the federal judiciary in a way that I find not to my liking. Four more years under John McCain – whom I think we must assume would make nominations that would closely resemble Bush’s – would bring about a change in the judiciary that could take a generation to undo. These are, after all, lifetime appointments.

Looking only at the Supreme Court, I think we must assume that in the next four years there will be an opening. Justice Stevens is – I believe – 88. Justice Ginsberg has had some health problems. One more conservative justice, and it would mark a sea change in American jurisprudence.
