I just posted a diary; please read it and go to the link I posted about PUMA support. Then please put it on the front page if you think it will lift our spirits.

This election is about Turn out; we seem to be losing heart. We cannot do it; not when we are so close.

You guys read this blog, and get out and vote. Send the link to all your wavering friends.

We can do it if we go and vote!

Heck, no. Listen, nobody thinks this one is going to be easy. Karl Rove doesn’t think it’s going to be easy — he had Obama ahead 311/160 on Friday.

I forgive you .

The key point is this: we do have some momentum going — finally! That’s not a myth, it’s happening out there. So we have to keep that momentum going and build it and nurture it just like Barack’s friends did for him since 1990. We should be able to muster that kind of effort for a couple of days, I would think.

This race is going back toward the balance point, and right now it’s at a point where it can be reverse-tipped. The important thing is to work hard and instill a sense of very reasonable doubt in the minds of people who otherwise would vote for Obama with assurance. Get on the phones, get out there in person, and give them the moment where they’re standing there with the ballot in the voting booth, and they’re thinking: “Do I really want to risk this? Do I really want to bet the whole country on this guy from Kenya, from Hawaii, from Illinois? The friend of Bill Ayers and the one who wants to bankrupt American power companies? The one with relatives living in Boston slums who are here illegally and had to be discovered by a foreign newspaper because none of the media in this country had the guts to investigate what he wrote in his own book? The one who got thrust into power as a result of his connections? McCain is safer. Yes, Yes he is safer. Times are tough and the world is a dangerous place. McCain will not be everything I wanted but he is the safer choice for me and my family.”

We need to convince people in these final 48 hours that voting for “hope” is not a reason to be reckless. It’s not a reason to vote for someone untested, inexperienced, with a lot of questionable policies and despicable friends. It’s not a reason to vote against an experienced man who loves his country and will keep it secure in dangerous times. Security is the necessary precondition for the American economy to rebound — and it will. We’ve been through tough times before, but we’ve always rebounded because we’re a strong and secure country. Vote for McCain and keep it that way, don’t bet the house and home on the opportunist from Illinois.

I don’t care what the polls say. Too many people have been able to debunk them.

My personal poll? I have seen too many people all of a sudden aren’t worried about the election. Smiles on faces. I ask them about their politics and they are not for Obama’s change.

We just have to vote and let the naysayers naysay.

The fat lady hasn’t sung yet.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with making a prediction that happens to be negative. It’s called being realistic. One can be an optimist and say “We have a good chance, if we win PA” or something like that, but still predict a win for the bad guys.

My position is almost exactly the same as yours.

Well said.

I’ve predicted an Obama victory in my head. I predict it when I see my lonesome McCain sign outnumbered on my street seven to one.

But you never give up. Never never never never give up. It is our duty to do our utmost for our beliefs and the candidate that best represents those beliefs. Predictions don’t matter in that calculus. You must do your duty even if it’s a losing cause. (Besides, I’m banking on a TON of “I told you so’s” for the next four years if we lose.)

But I think we have a HUGE shot to win. Just got to follow through and do your duty. The great Robert E. Lee would expect no less.

We’ve had a coward come over to The Minority Report and try to bash you. I wonder if he had the stones to actually contact RedState instead of whining all across the rest of the blogosphere.

Obama’s Speech? I hope they post it .

Barack Obama Thanked Bruce Springstein & his Wife and Kids for comming then came a name you all might or might not Recognize……. Rev. Otis Moss III.

Which Raises questions did Barack Obama really leave the Church or did he just say that for political Expediency?

It’ll look like 2000, except with McCain taking the 2nd congressional district of Maine, and Obama taking Colorado. Pennsylvania and Colorado will take a while to resolve but it won’t matter because McCain will get to 270 without either, with Alaska officially putting him over the top.

I think sometimes we forget that a week in the real world is a political lifetime. I’m with you. We’ve got a good shot for the number one and can keep the losses in Congress to a minimum.

The West faces the real possibility of dying this Tuesday. The true hope of the world’s people is with the United States, whether they realize it or not. Who will stand for what’s good and just, if not America? Who will defend the innocent against the blade of the wicked? Who will shine the beacon of liberty in a dark world? If there were any moment for us to fight, now is the time.

Against all odds:

Pennsylvania is his best shot at the White House.

His other hope is to hold all the swing states, win Virginia, and pick up Colorado, Iowa, or New Mexico. Pennsylvania is probably easier at this point.

I said early on Pennsylvania is the Key to McCain’s win!State polls give mixed results for PA. I just pray that the PA voters realize the following:

1. Obama and Murtha lambasting white PAs as clinging to their guns and religion.

2. Obama and Biden attacking Coal industry.

The Obama/Biden ticket want the total destruction of PA economy and social values.

Sarah Palin is making last attempt to make PA voters realize what Obama presidency is all about to PA… death to coal industry due to Obama’s own version of cap-and-trade policy:

That also applies to Ohio, SW Virginia and West Virginia.

May God annoint McCain as the next President of the United States!

McCain has a good shot at Florida and Ohio, and Colorado’s improving, but Pennsylvania and Virginia are out of reach, IMHO.

I would have thought that the events of the Russian invasion of Georgia, the financial boondoggle, and even just the Joe the Plumber would have taught us to be smart enough not to make predictions of political campaigns.

Gallup’s final poll gives Obama a 9 point win. Madness. But here’s the really crazy part. He is saying that Democrats now enjoy a 12% Party Affiliation Advantage over Republicans.

In the final poll, 38% of U.S. adults identified as Democrats, 34% as independents and 26% as Republicans.

Sorry, but that’s just crazy talk. 26% Republicans?! Down 12% from 2004? No friggin way.

Here is my prediction. As of Nov 5th, Gallup will become the laughing stock of the polling industry. It will be the most colossal miss by a major pollster in a presidential election… ever.

You have no idea how your words and the words of the Directors on Redstate influence the grassroots……I think it is a testiment to your site that my prior comment is TRUE!

ALL RIGHT MY FRIENDS……LETS ROLL!

Overall, it seems you have somewhat adjusted your predictions above and are of course unquestionably expert in the political field. I suppose the repetition of campaigns enables one to insouciantly demure to practicality and indispensable tools such as polls, etc.

So call me a fool, but I will not divine the outcome and have immeasurable faith in victory. I also will not hedge that statement with opines about what the alleged “facts” on the ground and insiders say. I am not apologetic in posture and quest for what I believe is right, knowing no matter what happens the fight does not end on Tuesday; this is just one battle in a war and I would rather die with the warriors than weep with the widows.

I will personally take 6 new voters I signed up to the polls on Tuesday. Some of those folks are even working directly for the McCain-Palin campaign in NY. Can you imagine, NY? Well, they must be partially insane or die hard, right wing nuts. Hardly and that is an ultimate goal of grass roots activities; believe in what is right, develop a sustained interest and actually vote.

Someone might want to share this with the RNC, since it appears they need to get up off their collective posteriors. Publishing statistics, articles, blogging and talking about GOTV are all nice accoutrements, but they don’t register on Election Day.

Normally, I would say that PA is going to be close but it would be won by the Democratic candidate. At this point, I’m not sure that’s the case. I think Sen. McCain has a chance to narrowly win the state. Barack Obama ran a much weaker race here than John Kerry, and John McCain is much more appealing to a broader spectrum of voters here than George W. Bush was.

The NRA has very strongly come out against Obama. My morning paper arrived in a bag advertising the NRA’s stance against Obama. Coal is a key industry here. Obama directly insulted the PA voters. Murtha directly insulted Western PA. We’ll see what happens!

Because of California and Prop 8.

He may not win that state, and unless I’m mistaken, it’s a winner-take-all, but he’ll bring it VERY close.

But I also think he just barely snakes the EC with a low 270-something.

Unless he gets PA. Then he has both easily.

would you publish it if you predicted a loss knowing he would see it?

of course not.

And you have a TEAM in this fight, some of whose members facing long lines and losing income tomorrow while in line, could use as an excuse to not vote.

Moreover, does your self worth depend on overtures from WashPo?

I hope not.

You are more than a married 30something, but not because people think you writing matters and can influence.

You are more (not that being married is chump change) because you stand for truth.

Conservative, Judeo-Christian values patriotic truth and one final truth

You don’t SEE anything re the outcome. No one can. People can read polls and watch tv and have anecdotes, but any fool can get elections right half the time flipping a coin.

So get over that sight arrogance.

What we know is that TURNOUT is ALL that matters.

Focus on getting your team to turn out.

luv ya

The disturbing point is the trend: Angle had been up by 11 points at one point; now she’s behind by 2.
