Whiskey is absolutely right that this is a numbers game. Despite the endless MSM narrative about the horrible Bush administration he was voted in twice and in 2004 the Democrats ran against the Iraq war and lost big time. The 2006 election was about fiscal responsibility that the GOP failed at when they were in power at both houses, so the electorate punished the GOP, But the left believes that was a vote against Bush, not Congress, as it was. I never saw an election misanalyzed as 2006.

But the GOP electorate will not sit out this election, they have seen the light and the “One” scares them worse than Hillary. So the GOP electorate will turn out and vote for McCain. The white disenfranchised guns and god democrats will vote for McCain not Obama.

Obama’s negatives are very high. Let me count the ways.

1) Pastor of 20 years is a black Marxist racist
2) Constant association with the worst of the 1960’s radicals.
3) Classic Chicagoan politician with all the associated corruption of Chicago- Rezko.
4) Standard Liberal pacifist foreign policy. Voted for defeated and still would.
5) The next decade is a very dangerous world with Russia rearing its head.
6) Obama who believes he can talk someone to his side yet could not convince the Hillary Democratic voters to his side.
7) His massive ego –the Messianic cult scares people.
8) He scares the white folk.
9) No experience at doing anything he is all PR- empty shirt.

The loony left is very vocal but the silent majority has not spoken. The MSM has bought into the loony left but the American electorate has not.

Obama only got 50% of the Democratic vote that is only 25 % of the electorate.

This election is McCain’s not Obama’s. He has been shown to be empty of substance. The spotlight that MSM has shown on him has aptly demonstrated to Americans that he is not presidential material. Just the affirmative action candidate
