The best data out there says: Obama: 347 McCain: 191
And make no mistake: the SPANKING will be because of the nations
disgust with the party of George W. Bush, more than any other
factor.
That's what you do best. You make mistakes continually.
What happened here is a bad economy
That's all that matters. People ALWAYS vote based on their
pocketbook. It is ALWAYS the economy. If the economy was still
going fine, McCain would have won. Since the economy is in the
tank, its time for a Change. This is based on history, and is 100%
accurate. In the last 30 years, every time the presidency has
changed parties, the economy has been in the tank.
1980, Carter and 20% interest rates, 8% unemployment and 20%
inflation. Surprise, Reagan got elected!
1984, economy going strong. Surprise, Reagan re-elected!
1988, economy is still going strong. Surprise, Bush 1 got elected!
1992, recession and Bush reneged on his "no new taxes" pledge.
Surprise, Clinton is elected!
1996, economy going fine. Surprise, Clinton is re-elected!
2000, recession and "dot com bubble burst". Surprise, Bush 2 is
elected!
2004, economy doing fine. Surprise, Bush is re-elected!
2008, economy in the tank, banks failing. Surprise, Obama is
elected!
Learn from history, people. It is ALWAYS the economy. In 4 years
if things have not improved - Surprise, the Republican Candidate will
be elected! If the economy is humming along - Surprise, Obama is
re-elected!
You understand because you have a clue but unfortunately many do not.
The economy is the number one reason but do not underestimate the power
of a campaign together with the old media to help make a candidate
palatable.
We are on the verge of electing a bent radical marxist who will not
release his birth certificate for scrutiny or his academic record so we
can see how brilliantly he has performed.
Mr. O-bla-ma how do you vote? Present.
