California Early Voting May Be a Good Sign for McCain
RedState sees a tight race after only 210,000 early ballots in California. This is good news because it might mean that Obama may be in real trouble in less liberal states.
I have been saying it all along. Don’t believe the polls. Get out and vote to keep our great country from turning into a third world nation.
Stunning results in early voting in California. Smile redstaters
California has begun early voting already as well as mail-in balloting. The number of people who have gone in to vote in person has been extensive. The results so far prove what we had always suspected. The polls are being proven as totally unreliable. Although the results of early balloting have not been disclosed,of course,how many Republicans and how many Democrats have voted has been revealed.
The results are simply shocking. The polls showed Barack Obama with an 18 point lead in California just a few days ago. The results thus far are the complete opposite. In the most liberal state in the entire country,the results are that 99,000 Republicans have voted and 96,000 Democrats voted. In the mail-in balloting the results so far are that 9,000 Democrats sent in their ballots and that 5,000 Republicans did so. So with nearly 210,000 people having voted,the Democrats have only a 1,000 vote advantage !
If we take the liberty of assuming that all Republicans will vote for John McCain and all Democrats will vote for Obama,then the race is incredibly close. I’m sure that Obama will eventually win in California,but if he is struggling here after he pushed so hard for early voting,then he will lose the election ! Everybody thought he would win California in a landslide,but so far anyway,it’s very tight. That means that in the less liberal states he is in real trouble.
Ignore the pundits. Forget the polls. Get out there and vote for John McCain. The results in California show the wisdom of Yogi Berra who said, “It’s not over until it’s over.”
“USA!” “USA!” “USA!”
I’ve noticed that the crowds at McCain and Palin campaign stops shout “USA! USA!”, but the Democrats shout “0-bamm-a! 0-bamm-a!”. That says a lot to me. What mentality would you rather live under?
Hang in there people and don’t believe the polls, go out and vote and save our great country!
Wherever you are right now, stop and repeat this mantra: “USA!” “USA!” “USA!” Repeat it to your husband before he leaves for the office. Repeat it as your youngsters are bolting down their Cheerios. Repeat it to your mortgage-strapped neighbours and to the postman. Shout it from the rooftops and tell it to the world!
“USA!” “USA!” “USA!” In a sea of confusion complete with the stark reality of being backstabbed by your own mainstream media. Among all the demoralizing things raining down on your head, the most beautiful words on earth are: “USA!””USA!” “USA!”
Think of the violence of houses with `McCain for President’ being shot up. Think of bespectacled, middle-aged ladies attacked with the stick from a ‘McCain for President’ placard.
Think of the violence expected on Election Day, but wipe it out with the chant, “USA! “ “USA”! “USA!”
It’s 11 days on the last mile to the all-important November 4 election, and do you know where your country is?
It’s about to be hijacked by a would-be tinpot dictator posing as “Your Agent for Change”, loaded with good looks and guile-laced charm.
When you cut through the hype, that’s really all that Barack Hussein Obama is.
Sure it’s confusing with one talking head after another talking at you.
Of course you never thought that the editor down at your local newspaper would anoint himself a self-professed “progressive”. Who would ever dream that this “newsman” would climb right into the tank for Obama, then turn around and tell you it’s all over?
But leaving professionalism far behind them, so many mainstream media types ran after the `Pied Piper of Deceit’. Never strong in the first place, they are people who would sell out on America by choosing the path of least resistance.
Sure it’s demoralizing to know that NBC and MSNBC have joined ACORN and other Leftist groups for something called a “nonpartisan” effort at “Election Protection”.
Confusing?You betcha!
But on the last mile home, don’t think shallow Katie Couric. Think positive. Think Sarah Palin.
They’re telling you that the current economic meltdown is the fault of Republicans like Senator John McCain.
No. It happened courtesy of the Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid Democrats.
Did you think that an economic meltdown coming mere weeks before Election Day was a coincidence?
Every time a nation gets swallowed up by Socialism/Marxism, economic disorder has come first!
Be like the Marxists and beat them at their own game: Keep your eye on the end game: the voting booth.
Remember the picture of Che Guvera prominently displayed in Obama’s office earlier this year? It was there. It wasn’t your imagination.
Where is Obama right now? In Hawaii. Whether he’s there to visit his ailing Granny or to bury birth certificates doesn’t matter. “The Messiah” waiting for Natural Order has left the arena–11 days before Nov. 4.
Like the sound of carpenters driving nails in your coffin in old Western movies, the hammers ring out in Chicago’s Grant Park for the multi-million dollar victory bash.
That’s how sure Obama is that ACORN has this election in the bag for him.They’re bragging every day now that it’s over. But nothing’s changed. Obama and his ilk have been fomenting for change down where you couldn’t see them for decades. At the end of the day, they’ll still be down in the basement fomenting for change.
Jump out of the mental state of the endlessly yakking talking heads, saying McCain should be doing this or should be doing that.
This is not the time to second-guess the only antidote to Obama. This is the time to listen to Rush Limbaugh who says, “Don’t ever let anybody demoralize you.”
Why McCain?Because he gets it. He gets the big picture.
McCain got it right when he said he looked into the eyes of Vladimir Putin and saw “KGB”.
Will the free world see KGB in Obama’s eyes AFTER he’s president?
Obama doesn’t have “the righteous wind” at his back, but the American people always had it.
Don’t let them kid you, it’s not over until the fat lady sings, and this time, you are the fat lady.
Legions of average people are writing to websites like Canada Free Press asking, “How do we stop him?”
It’s simple. The only way for No Obama is to vote for his opponent.
You can send Obama hobbling back to the drawing board and sideline him later where he works in public education with anti-American Bill Ayers.
Yes you can!Don’t take a chance on future generations on Nov. 4, 2008.
Like El Rushbo says, “This is not the time to give up!”
Obama and his agents of change want to turn the USA over to a Socialist agenda, while you want “USA! “USA!” “USA!”
Go out and get it!
Charles Krauthammer: I Will Go Down With the McCain Ship
So many Americans are spoiled with a “soft underbelly” and far too concerned about what other countries supposedly think of the United States. It is more important to do the right thing than to win a world popularity contest. It’s like parenting or leading a group of people; you earn more respect when you are predictably firm and structured.
Charles Krauthammer gets it right. He is the most consistent, level-headed, clear-minded voice out there and this is the most convincing, point-by-point unapologetic and reasoned essay on the out-and-out dangers we face and who is better suited to address them; President John McCain.
If Obama wins, I hope the electorate who voted for him and the media get what they deserve, because they will surely deserve whom they get. Unfortunately we who will not vote for him may be burdened with the Axis of Idiots “Pelosi, Reid and Obama”.
Contrarian that I am, I’m voting for John McCain. I’m not talking about bucking the polls or the media consensus that it’s over before it’s over. I’m talking about bucking the rush of wet-fingered conservatives leaping to Barack Obama before they’re left out in the cold without a single state dinner for the next four years.
I stand athwart the rush of conservative ship-jumpers of every stripe — neo (Ken Adelman), moderate (Colin Powell), genetic/ironic (Christopher Buckley) and socialist/atheist (Christopher Hitchens) — yelling “Stop!” I shall have no part of this motley crew. I will go down with the McCain ship. I’d rather lose an election than lose my bearings.
First, I’ll have no truck with the phony case ginned up to rationalize voting for the most liberal and inexperienced presidential nominee in living memory. The “erratic” temperament issue, for example. As if McCain’s risky and unsuccessful but in no way irrational attempt to tactically maneuver his way through the economic tsunami that came crashing down a month ago renders unfit for office a man who demonstrated the most admirable equanimity and courage in the face of unimaginable pressures as a prisoner of war, and who later steadily navigated innumerable challenges and setbacks, not the least of which was the collapse of his campaign just a year ago.
McCain the “erratic” is a cheap Obama talking point. The 40-year record testifies to McCain the stalwart.
Nor will I countenance the “dirty campaign” pretense. The double standard here is stunning. Obama ran a scurrilous Spanish-language ad falsely associating McCain with anti-Hispanic slurs. Another ad falsely claimed that McCain supports “cutting Social Security benefits in half.” And for months Democrats insisted that McCain sought 100 years of war in Iraq.
McCain’s critics are offended that he raised the issue of William Ayers. What’s astonishing is that Obama was himself not offended by William Ayers.
Moreover, the most remarkable of all tactical choices of this election season is the attack that never was. Out of extreme (and unnecessary) conscientiousness, McCain refused to raise the legitimate issue of Obama’s most egregious association — with the race-baiting Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Dirty campaigning, indeed.
The case for McCain is straightforward. The financial crisis has made us forget, or just blindly deny, how dangerous the world out there is. We have a generations-long struggle with Islamic jihadism. An apocalyptic soon-to-be-nuclear Iran. A nuclear-armed Pakistan in danger of fragmentation. A rising Russia pushing the limits of revanchism. Plus the sure-to-come Falklands-like surprise popping out of nowhere.
Who do you want answering that phone at 3 a.m.? A man who’s been cramming on these issues for the past year, who’s never had to make an executive decision affecting so much as a city, let alone the world? A foreign policy novice instinctively inclined to the flabbiest, most vaporous multilateralism (e.g., the Berlin Wall came down because of “a world that stands as one”), and who refers to the most deliberate act of war since Pearl Harbor as “the tragedy of 9/11,” a term more appropriate for a bus accident?
Or do you want a man who is the most prepared, most knowledgeable, most serious foreign policy thinker in the United States Senate? A man who not only has the best instincts but has the honor and the courage to, yes, put country first, as when he carried the lonely fight for the surge that turned Iraq from catastrophic defeat into achievable strategic victory?
There’s just no comparison. Obama’s own running mate warned this week that Obama’s youth and inexperience will invite a crisis — indeed a crisis “generated” precisely to test him. Can you be serious about national security and vote on Nov. 4 to invite that test?
And how will he pass it? Well, how has he fared on the only two significant foreign policy tests he has faced since he’s been in the Senate? The first was the surge. Obama failed spectacularly. He not only opposed it. He tried to denigrate it, stop it and, finally, deny its success.
The second test was Georgia, to which Obama responded instinctively with evenhanded moral equivalence, urging restraint on both sides. McCain did not have to consult his advisers to instantly identify the aggressor.
Today’s economic crisis, like every other in our history, will in time pass. But the barbarians will still be at the gates. Whom do you want on the parapet? I’m for the guy who can tell the lion from the lamb.
