I think that this will be closer
frat (Diary) Tuesday, November 4th at 6:01PM EST (link)than the polls have been showing.
I also think that if the election were held next week, McCain would have a better chance. He is closing in on Obama in the battlegrounds. I think McCain will win in Florida and Ohio and maybe Virginia. With more time, I think he could have turned Pa.
The financial crisis was a huge gift for Obama. If he wins, that will have been what took him over the top. How sad (from the perspective of the election) that the actions taken so far may have actually taken us out of the most danger of a further crash. Thus, he could walk into the Presidency with the greatest risk to the economy behind him. And, surely he will take credit for it.
The media is the other factor. They are now truly an advocate more than ever. They could not get Kerry elected, but may be successful this time with Obama. They are a disgrace.

I guess it depends on if the idiots are the bosses or the workers?
izoneguy (Diary) Tuesday, November 4th at 9:44PM EST (link)I would have to say – being a boss for almost 30 years that’s it’s a popular workers revolt. Kinda like when your kids are going crazy. At a certain point you throw your hands up in the air and say – fine keep it up. And a few moments later you hear crying and see blood. We won’t see blood but probably lot’s of tears by this time next year. I guess I can start planning my next project.
A documentary about how the left has destroyed small business. I can interview the former owners and the people that used to work for them. Should be some really good stories in Ohio & PA. Laid off coal workers can tell me what they did with the $100 a month Obama sent them. Let’s party like it’s 1929!!!
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Well, if you know of the problem, that is a plus...

MelZ (Diary) Tuesday, November 4th at 10:28PM EST (link)We have been experiencing these problems off and on for weeks. We moved to a new version and the bugs are still getting worked out. The 500 errors are less and less now days. I am not sure how long you have been a member of RedState, I am guessing not too long (or maybe you checked out for a while)since you seem awfully out of whack over the 500 errors, but it is what it is.
My guess…our moderators are just a bit busy this evening. They are not working on RedState technical issues tonight, but covering the debate. That is probably the reason you are not hearing back.
I know it is annoying, especially at such a tense time…but take a breath. RedState is by far the most welcoming, friendly, high class blog I have been a part of. They are working on the technical kinks and those of us who love RS are just dealing with it patiently.

Formally known as Deagle… “Golf is a way of life…”
Good point.
scottbomb (Diary) Tuesday, November 4th at 11:08PM EST (link)I was counting on the grown ups to come out today and take charge but I guess they didn’t. I’m beginning to better understand events like the Bolshevik revolition and the rise of the Nazi party. It’s hard to believe that so many people can be fooled and I like to think that we, as Americans, are somehow above that. Appearently, we’re not.
That being said, I predict a landslide GOP win in 2012. As the people get to actually know their new president as well as we political junkies know him, they’re not going to like him.
I think our biggest handicap this election has been the unpopularity of President Bush. The guy has gotten a really bad rap. The press made it a full-time job to blame everything from gas prices to the weather on him.
And then there’s the never-ending drumbeat of the war in Iraq. I ask some of my Obama-loving friend why they are voting for him. They say they want “change”. I ask them, “what would you like changed?” All they can say is, “we need to get out of Iraq”. I tell them that Obama’s not going to pull out of Iraq any faster than McCain would. They’re suddenly speechless, but they still vote for “change”.
So here’s the “change” we’re gonna get:
Abortion on demand made easier as all pro-life laws are nullified and us taxpayers foot the bill for many of them. Very few are in favor of this, but hey, they wanted “change”.
No new energy exploration. The next time the speculators drive the price of oil through the ceiling, the people will demand “drill here, drill now!” But nobody who can do anything about it will be listening.
To all the Jews who voted for Obama: Trust me when I tell you, Mahmoud in Iran is celebrating tonight, and he has BIG plans for Israel.
TAXES. I’m a salesman and I have plenty of co-workers voting for Obama. I can’t wait til the taxes in our commission checks (now at over 30%) go UP. I’m gonna rub it in like glass in a wound. They hate those taxes as much as I do but since we all make less than 250k, 200k, 150k…. they think we’re immune.
Get ready for Al Gore running the EPA. The door to the henhouse will be opened to the fox.
I could go on and on, but I have homework I’ve been neglecting. My psychology book beckons me. This brings to mind a theory… If I reward a rat with food when he presses the bar but deliver a shock 10 seconds later, will he keep pressing the bar? If human electoral behavior is any indication, I bet the stupid rat will keep pressing the bar.
