Only one week to go!

This has been a long election year, and we are finally down to the wire with only one week to go until the day of reckoning. On that day there is a distinct possibility that we could get one of the most far-left presidents in American history named Barack Obama, and conservatives need to be ready and prepared for that. but unlike the New Mexico Sun news paper who declared Obama the winner already; i think this election is not over till its over, and McCain has a good chance at a win.

Excluding Iowa and New Mexico if McCain wins all of the states that Bush won in 2004 then Hello president McCain. He could also pull off an upset in Pennsylvania, and that would clinch an election victory for him. Either way McCain has options even though the unreliable polls have him as the underdog.

So for all of you conservatives out there one week out from this historical election, don't get discouraged,Don't buy everything you see or hear in the Mainstream media ,and come election day get out there and VOTE,VOTE,VOTE!

The debate is over..... now what?

Another debate and another less than stellar performance by McCain. He threw a few punches, but they just didn't seem to stick, and most snap polls and focus groups after the debate scored Obama the winner. McCain did however try to distance himself from the Bush administration by saying "I'm not president bush. if you want to run against president bush you should have run four years ago" that was the most memorable line of the night.

McCain also tried to question the ACORN and Ayers connection to Obama, and Obama seemed to weasel his way out of it, but McCain didn't follow up. After watching the debate i,m at a loss for words. I'm not sure were McCain goes from here. What can McCain do if anything to take the lead from Obama. The only thing i can think of is for the McCain camp to get the base out on November 4, and hope that the undecideds go with a familiar face in McCain and not take the risk with the new guy Obama. I guess we just have to keep a positive attitude and pray for the best.

Obama is outspending McCain, and so did Romney.

In the area of T.V advertising the Obama campaign is outspending McCain by a considerable margin. In the first week of October Obama spent 21 million on advertising compared to McCain and the RNC spending 12 million.
Obama is also outspending in most of the swing states, and he recently bought 30 minuets of prime time television for October 29th. The Obama camp is also expected to have nearly 100 million in the bank by election day. but the question is how much dose all of this matter.

I think that it's safe to say that having more money is a good thing, but it's not going to win Obama the election alone, just ask Mitt Romney about that. Mitt Romney outspent McCain in new Hampshire 7.3 million to 3.5 million, and McCain defeated Romney handily in New Hampshire. Romney also spent more money Overall in the republican primary until he got out of the race, so money isn't everything. McCain might be down in the polls, and he might be down in money, but he's been there before and came out on top, and he can do it again.

The McCain ticket is playing hard ball now!

At a rally in Carson California Sarah Palin brought up Barack Obama's association with terrorist William Ayers to a crowd of thousands, and It's about time. The McCain camp is taking the off the gloves and hitting hard, and now all they have to do is keep hitting.

In Colorado at a campaign stop McCain was asked by a supporter when he was going to take the gloves off, McCain Replied "How about Tuesday night?".The town hall debate is Tuesday night and I Hope McCain follows up with His statement to the supporter. If he doesn't there aren't going to be too many opportunities left for him to capitalize on.

There is only a month left in this election so not a lot of time to make up the drop in the polls that McCain is dealing with. Most polls have him down by 6 to 8 points, so he has to remind people that Obama has a lot of skeleton's in his closet namely William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, and Tony Resko. 20 years in Jeremiah wright's church, Launching his political career in the home of a terrorist William Ayers, and getting his house from convicted felon Tony Resko should be enough to sink Obama. People just need to be reminded of these associations of Obama,and McCain needs to remind them.

Another bold move by McCain, but will it work?

John McCain in a speech today said that he will be suspending his campaign for now to go back to Washington and help with the financial crisis. He also said that the debate on Friday should be postponed, but will this move hurt or help the senator in the long run.

If McCain goes to Washington and gets something done with the bailout legislation or another variation of the legislation then he will come out ahead and could overtake Obama in the polls again. If it turns out to be a big fight up on capital hill and nothing gets done then it will have the opposite effect and hurt McCain considerably. McCain and Obama were on the sidelines during most of the financial crisis the last couple of weeks ,and McCain has just thrust himself in the middle of it, this move could make or break him.

The one thing that McCain must do is to go to the debate on Friday no matter what. People have been anticipating this debate, and there will be a lot of people disappointed if they don't get a debate on Friday. If he misses the debate it will also look like he is trying to avoid it, and McCain doesn't need that; Not with the polls as they stand now.

Today's move is a double edged sword for McCain, and in the end only time will tell if it was the right decision.

A USA today/Gallup poll has McCain/Palin up by 10.

A USA today/Gallup poll has McCain/Palin up by a whopping 10 points 54 to 44.

This poll was taken after the republican convention, so this is good news for the McCain ticket. This is the most McCain has been ahead of Obama in a very long time, so the Obama team better be concerned at least for now. http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-09-07-poll_N.htm

Sarah Palin is supa dupa FLY!

Sarah Palin is a revolution all unto herself, she has shook things up more than most people could have imagined just a couple of weeks ago. Two weeks ago who would have imagined a woman being picked to be on a vice presidential ticket after Hillary had been passed up.

Two weeks ago who would have imagined that the John McCain ticket would have created so much enthusiasm among conservatives, and all republicans for that matter. And who would have imagined that after the soaring speech that Barack Obama gave, the republican vice presidential candidate would have nearly equalled him in the ratings, and that John McCain ,who is not known for his speeches, would have received HIGHER ratings than Obama on his speech.

Who would imagine that the media would be so blatant in there liberal attacks on this accomplished Governor of the state of Alaska, a woman that stood up to oil companies and corrupt politicians and lived to tell about it. Yes this is going to be a very interesting election and with Sarah Palin on the ticket, it is going to be historic on both sides.
