Seven Reasons Why McCain-Palin Will Win The Election

I've never seen the media referred to as "feminized" before. How is such a thing possible? (I probably don't want to know...)

Hmmm... I suspect there are going to be some very upset people over at redstate on November 5th. Meditation anyone?

These 7 reasons are terrible. I mean come on. The most credible was the last one. The only reason Obama isn't thwomping McCain in a change election is because he is black and has a non-WASP story. But I guess it's okay, since it's on RedState and that sort of thing is their bread and butter.

Here's what I posted to more than 200 Facebook friends today:

I can hardly remember an election when I've waited so long to decide on my choice for President. One week from today, I'll cast my vote for Sen. McCain, and if anyone cares, here's why:

1. MCCAIN SEEKS TO LIMIT ABORTION - Sen. Obama's position may be called the "audacity of hopelessness." He is out of step with his own running mate, Joe Biden, who in 2003 with 63 other senators voted to ban the practice of partial birth abortion. Under a President Obama, a Federal Freedom of Choice Act would increase the number of abortions performed annually, defying the "safe, legal, and rare" rhetoric that is often heard by abortion's proponents. On the other hand, Sen. McCain has consistently voted to protect the unborn, the right to life prerequisite to all other rights that we enjoy in this country.

2. MCCAIN FAVORS CUTS IN MILITARY SPENDING - He has been very clear that we don't need new weapons systems that cost billions, and would cut them from the bloated Pentagon defense budget. That money can be used elsewhere, perhaps to expand peaceful programs that are working, such as PEPFAR, the U.S. initiative against the spread of AIDS in Africa.

3. MCCAIN IS CORRECT ON IMMIGRATION AND GLOBAL WARMING. He seeks a path to citizenship for those who are living in the U.S. illegally, and wants to tighten border control. Also, he acknowledges the need for "Creation Care," that we must take care of this earth, as God's stewards, and this includes keeping the thermostat in-check.

4. MCCAIN WOULD MAKE THE GOVERNMENT LIVE WITHIN ITS MEANS. There is a huge disconnect between the average American who must carefully budget and Washington, that spends like there's no tomorrow. We need a Dave Ramsey approach to federal spending! McCain has the record to show he'd stand-up to wasteful spending.

On these four issues, Sen. McCain is dead-on. Together, they tip my vote in his direction.

Items 1 -3 would make me vote against him, and item 4 is the funniest post here in a long time.

That was a bizarre article on Red State. I almost stopped reading at "feminized" media, since it is clearly just some sort of random name-calling. It didn't bode well for a contentful article. But some of the other stuff was better. However, he ended it witch claiming the Bradley effect would come into play, which is certainly possible, but then, instead of at least lamenting that a significant part of the population is racially prejudiced, blames the media again, the connection being entirely unclear.

I'm telling myself McCain will win so as to not get hopes up. I'm also convinced the Titans' current record is 7 and 9, not 7 and 0.

Wha__? I must say, this Perrin article redefines my personal definiton of "befuddled" ...

Aww... Red State, the slide into marginalization continues.

Poll data would seem to contradict his woman and jewish voter theories.

Missouri, Ohio and even Louisiana are anything but in the pocket for McCain as far as "predictor" states.

I haven't been able to find any other hairdresser polls.

I couldn't force myself past the second paragraph. I was afraid of a serious BS overdose.

The more I read from places like RedState or Republican figures who go on record predicting a McCain upset on Nov. 4, the more I am reminded of 2006. Recall, if you will, a number of polls that predicted the Republicans were going to lose, and lose big in the Congressional elections. However, Republicans (Karl Rove in particular) kept going on record with nuggets basically swearing up, down, left and right that the polls were all wrong - the real numbers (which, coincidentally, were the ones the Republicans were privy to) showed that Congressional Republicans were going to be just fine.

Of course, we all know how well that turned out for them.

I'm not saying there's a correlation to be drawn, but every time I read somebody who predicts a McCain upset, I can't help but think back. Personally, I think they're being delusional yet again...but we'll see what happens next week!

The writer obviously doesn't realize that the Obama campaign is mobilizing volunteers to get out the youth vote and is encouraging early voting everywhere that it is legal. Also Obama is outspending McCain on political ads by at least 2:1. The media may be overconfident, but the campaign is not.

Also I think undecideds will be influenced by the large number of crossover endorsements for Obama. Several GOP governors, some conservative columnists, a very conservative midwestern newspaper, and several former figures from the Bush administration have endorsed Obama, instead of merely staying silent about McCain.

While an Obama victory is not a done deal, this post definitely falls into the category of wishful thinking-- maybe to keep GOP hopes alive so that their own turnout is not depressed.

2006 is the model, all right. (No Confidence in the GOP) The question next week is how much more in the Dems' favor it will be. I've followed the trends all year and the high late support for Obama is not a last-minute bandwagon and deserting-sinking-ship effect that will likely boost Obama even more. The current bet is: 86% Obama will win, 14% McCain (Iowa Electronic Markets). It would take a miracle (I'm saying that dispassionately, note, not saying it would be a Good Thing necessarily) for McCain to win.

Obama made a subdued and firmly-in-control "closing argument" speech in Ohio and tonight gives his infomercial and has an interview, in part at least with Rachel Maddow (rising farther-left media star) if I read correctly, earlier; he has made few blunders this year and certainly has run a good campaign in addition to having been an attractive candidate (that stuff sells). I don't believe the GOP diehards have learned the right lesson simply by rushing to adopt photogenic Palin as their next superstar-of-the-future-in-Washington.

John McCain is not Joe Namath. Let's just say that.

Does McClown wear Leggs pantyhose? He's got the Namath womanizing down in his early years.
