Personally, the overconfidence is making me VERY nervous. However, the number of Conservatives turning on McCain is staggering.

#2re: Conservatives Jump Ship As Obama Landslide Approaches
Posted: 10/20/08 at 10:41amYeah, I'm nervous as hell. Let's avoid the word "landslide," shall we? I think the country remains 51-49, blue-red this time, and unless the Democratic turnout is record (predicted in 2004 but a fizzle), we will still be up late on election night. I'm too cognizant of recent history to think otherwise.

TWO WORDS: NEW HAMPSHIRE. It ain't over til every vote is counted and this could still go to McCain.
I changed the title for that very reason!

I still believe this election is going to be VERY close.
I've learned not to overestimate the mindset of this country as a whole.
I was just reminded of that this morning with a giant "hate ad" in the L.A. Times for "Yes on Prop 8." Chilling. And disgusting.

Diebold anyone? This election is well on it's way to being stolen. I heard McCain say the other day about Obama "we got them where we want them." Whatever that means.
The good news is we expect the largest turnout in history.

STAY NERVOUS.
Those polls with 10-point leads are completely misleading.
Other polls like the Gallup Daily and Rasmussen have Obama's lead at 3 or 4--totally within the range of thievery.
DON'T GET COMPLACENT.

You're not really a Democrat until you've had your hopes dashed to pieces. The number of times I remember thinking: "But how could we possibly lose?"--and then we lost!
I wish that the news were reporting this as neck-and-neck and not as a coming landslide. It just makes me nervous.

pay no attention to these nervous nellies. there is no way possible for mccain to be elected president. none.
obama has already won. the election is a mere formality.
i suggest you spend less time worrying, more time celebrating and not even bother going to the polls to contribute a meaningless vote to the landslide.

Gallop Daily has Obama up 10, but the gap narrows among "likely voters."
Remember: Bill Clinton was ahead 19 points nationwide, and won by 6. We have every reason to be nervous.

Posted: 10/20/08 at 11:59ampay no attention to these naysayers. obama has already won. he is in fact the president.

#14Conservatives were never for McCain
Posted: 10/20/08 at 12:07pmWhen were conservatives ever for McCain? They're not turning on him. They were never for him. Not ever. He's not a conservative.

i hate it when republicans get desperate.
face it. we lost.
we had an almost insurmounatble task: a party incumbent in the white house with a 24.6% approval rating, an unpopular war, an economic crisis which regardless of cause is blamed on the party in the white house, a veep candidate who is a punchline (not new ground, i know, but less than helpful) and a candidate who personally rode out the flood with noah before deciding to piss off his entire party by taking a realistic position that 12 million people cannot be deported. the fact that mac's even within 10% is unfathomable. honestly, there ought to be a 3rd party fringe right-winger polling at about 16% right taking that completely from the gop.
but to pull out the "he's not a conservative" when he's running against che guevara in blackface? are ya kidding?

"honestly, there ought to be a 3rd party fringe right-winger polling at about 16% right taking that completely from the gop."
there would be if the Libertarians hadn't picked GOP turncoat Bob Barr as our nominee. I don't dislike Barr, just felt that he lacked national name recognition. He'll give McCain some trouble in his home state of GA and that's about it.
Yeah, plenty of Libertarians are looney tunes, including this one perhaps, but we get Ron Paul's take on sound monetary policy and the call from some corners for term-limiting domestic corporations.
And Papa, before you banish me to Ron Paul/Lyndon Larouche-land, consider this. Several European finance ministers are calling for the reconsitution of the gasp...Bretton Woods agreement.
What's really gonna cook some GOP noodles is when President Obama names Ret General Colin Powell as Secretary of Defense. At 71, he'll secretly agree to one-term just long enough to orchestrate a reasonable US troop withdrawal from Iraq. If Powell declines, GOP Sen Hagel is willing and able.
If all goes according to plan, Obama-Biden will able to do something that reasonable Republicans failed at. That is, rid the Executive Branch of the American Taleban known as neocons and zealots bent on restoring some sort of missing tabernacle on the White House lawns.

First of all, I am not a Republican, so I'm not getting desperate. Republicans might be for John McCain, but conservatives are not, and never have been. No real conservative cast a vote for John McCain. They vote for Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, Sarah Palin. NOT John McCain.
