Today on "Meet the Press" John McCainguaranteed victory in his race against Barack Obama:
"We're going to do well in this campaign, my friend. We're going to win it and it's going to be tight, and we're going to be up late."
Of course, what else is he supposed to say? We're going to be trounced? The problem is that, by this time, most Americans take McCain's pronouncements with skepticism. This is the same man, after all, who gave us the following "take-it-to-the-bank" wisdom:
"I think she's [Sarah Palin is] the most qualified of any who has run recently for vice president."
McCain will center his time and resources on Pennsylvania, his must-win state, and the place that generated such negative publicity for him last week. But McCain's make-or-break, come-from-behind gambit relies on the tenuous proposition that he won't lose Florida, Ohio, Nevada, North Dakota, North Carolina, Missouri, Indiana, Colorado, Montana, or Georgia. All of those states are now battlegrounds, and most are trending in Obama's direction. Lastly, here's Pollster's EKG for Pennsylvania:
And let's not forget the "Sarah palin is my soul mate". I often wondered how Cindy felt about those words. But I see that she is on the campaign trail a lot more often.

POLLS ARE MANIPULATED...OF COURSE BY THE "IN THE OBAMA CAN" LIBERAL MEDIA. Check out the ZOGBY poll...race is dead even...or look on this site at the AOL Staw POLL...McCain in a LANDSLIDE! The SILENT MAJORITY speaks! The U.S. electorate, as a nation, simply cannot allow an Obama victory. A holocaust will take place involving the unleashed forces of pro-abortionists. A Islamic-friendly president with no executive experience will sit in the most powerful office in the world. Obama...with a virtual non-existent resume, a former cocaine user, friend to terrorists, friend to a Farrakhan-friendly pastor, Rev. Wright, who for 20 years spewed anti-white, anti-american, anti-main-stream religious hatred. Obama, the consumate BSer...and that is it! We can't as a nation, allow America to lose the seperation of power...senate, house, white house to the likes of Pelosi, Barney Franks, Reid and other ultra-liberals. We cant, as a nation, set ourselves up for the Fall of the American Empire at the hands of Barack Hussein Obama...a man with dirty hands...who associated with dirty people for much of his life. A man who helped direct and advise the ACORN movement...a voter-fraud laced organization. Forget the left-wing media...the left-wing hollywood types the unfair and slanted news networks and the left-wing rock singers...they are not America. Let the "silent majority" of God-fearing, proud, white-collar, blue-collar, middle-americans....all patriotic Americans be heard and be heard by their vote for McCain/Palin...a ticket with proven experience, Judeo-Christian values, anti-Washington and Hollywood establishment and a ticket that will represent ALL Americans...Christians, Jews, Rich, Poor, Middle-class, Joe the Plumber or Mary the nurse or Tom the cab driver or Sue the waitress. We can't, as a God-fearing nation...allow the horrors of an Obama presidency...and set the stage for the fall of the American Empire, American values...and another piece in the end of days.

Good lord Mike. Do you hear yourself? Yes, some polls do lean left and right. Which means some polls lean McCain's way and some lean Obama.
You also need to educate yourself on some of those issues. Turn off Fox News and read up on them yourself.
Oh, and as for Sarah Palin? What a joke.

Gordon Brown, Nicholas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel, the British, The French and the Germans heads of state and our most important allies have all either implicitly or explicitly conveyed that they would rather see Barack Obama elected president. They believe that that he is the candidate who is most capable of repairing badly tarnished diplomatic ties - a direct consequence of the Iraq War - thereby improving the United States reputation in this world.

Joe Biden says, "Mark my words. Within six months, if Obama is elected, we will face an international crisis. A generated international crisis, and he's gonna need you to support him because it won't be apparent that we did the right thing." What story did the liberal MSM run with? Sarah Palin's wardrobe. Just yesterday, one TV reporter finally asked Biden a question about Obama's socialistic leanings, and a question about Biden's warning of an international crisis. Biden's response? "Is this a joke? Is this a REAL question? Who's writing these questions?" Now the Obama team is boycotting that TV station. No more questions from them! I wonder why we haven't heard a word from Obama's mentor Rev. Wright? Why haven't we heard one word from Bill Ayers? I wonder how much it has cost Obama to keep them quiet? I guess you can afford to pay off a lot of people with the kind of money Obama has raised. I'm sure he really appreciates all that money those of you who support him sent in. Now Barney Frank wants to cut defense spending by twenty five percent and spend that money on more welfare programs. Guess who will help him do that? Guess who will celebrating in the streets if that happens? 9-11 was only seven years ago. What short memories some people have

ANOTHER GAFFE for biden ??
This time biden was interviewing in Florida & the Anchor asked him a question about obama's "SPREAD THE WEALTH" comment and referenced this to "MARXISM"
biden laughed and asked if the question was a "JOKE" she replied "NO" it's a real question...biden would not answer the question. THEN she asked him about the comment biden made about "OUR ENEMIES WILL TEST RIGHT AWAY" with obama presidency...again biden wouldn't answer ~ he gave some loooooooong vague explaination. obama camp responded to the interview INDIGNANTLY and said they would not permit anymore interviews with that media network, they are "disrespectful!! WHY?? Because they asked "tough" truthful questions that the Americans want the answers to??!! obama has gotten the "MEDIA PASS" far too long!
SO now the media is getting P**D off saying "IS THIS HOW AN obama ADMINISTRATION WILL BE" media off limits ~ NO MORE QUESTIONS or they will be controlling all the questions.........HMMMMMMMMMM does that RING of COMMUNISM!!
America please wake up ~ SOCIALISM is BAD ~ just think how we will be living under COMMUNISM!!
TRUST THIS: SOCIALISM & COMMUNISM IS CHANGE WE DON'T NEED!
obama: POOR CHARACTER, POOR JUDGMENT
NOT FIT TO LEAD OUR GREAT NATION
joe biden: NO TIME FOR ON THE JOB TRAINING
Simple solution ~ Just Say NO

Barack Obama is from Illinois Illinos newspapers that endorses Obama-Arlington Hgts Daily Herald, Chicago Defender, Chicago Suntimes, Chicago Tribune, Rockford Register Star.
Joe Biden is from Delaware Delaware Newspaper New Journal endorses Obama.
Sarah Palin is from Alaska Alaska Newspaper Anchorage Daily News endorses Obama.
McCain says, "Obviously, I choose to trust my senses." McCain trusted his senses on the planes he crashed, entering the Iraq War, Charles Keating, his 2000 campaign for president, Sarah Palin, the economy is strong statement, suspending his 2008 presidential campaign, not suporting veteran, women and union legislation, NAFTA, etc. His senses have been wrong each and every time and his senses will be proven wrong again.

I can't wait to get my VICTORY DANCE ON November 4th. 2008. It will not be the Monkey, Jerk, or Dog, it will be the Obama Slide and the McCain Humpty Dump! McCain and Palin's gutter Politics have been rejected by the American People and they only have themselves to blame. Those of us who Love America are going to put on our gloves and clean this Country up, we are going to start being neighbors and friends again and spread the love around like it use to be. This is what we are going to do and no one will be able to stop us.

Well he did say that he wasn't popular in his party and that was true and is still true. However if he was a true maverick, why would he be affiliated with the Bush republican ticket? A republican is a republican is a republican. Borrow and spend policies. Rich will get richer and the poor will not just get poorer, but McCain hopes they'll just disappear, my friends.

How can you be so naive? This election alone is going to create civil unrest. Count on it!!! The writing is on the wall. Why didn't you clean it up before? Waiting for someone else to do it? There's no maid service here. Some people can't even keep their homes, communities and parks clean.

I take no stock in polls. It's not over 'til the fat lady sings. It is my wish that Obama, the obnoxious one, is knocked off his media-built pedestal bigtime. He is not right for America (just as America is not right for him). He was right for Wright & vice versa until he was "forced" to remove himself from his hate-teaching church he had attended for 20 yrs. due to voter criticism. His stance hasn't changed....it's only covered up (as a leopard doesn't change its spots over night). This uncredentialed fraud has pulled the wool over voters' eyes (especially the younger ones who don't have the remotest idea of WHO he really is or what he stands for). There's still time to wise up, voters. It's crucial that Obama is kept from where he doesn't belong....in the White House. It's too much of a risk to all of us to have him & the puppeteers leading our precious USA. This is no time for a fledgling, the "anointed" one, the "selected" one & certainly not a "rock" star who craves attention & sensationalism. Let's knock Obama for a spin & send him back to wherever...that questionable wherever. No Obama for US.

When the "ticket" are arguing and finger-pointing, it can only mean one thing.....LANDSLIDE......I just wonder how many "rats" are going to abandon THAT sinking ship come November 4.
