Personally, I will vote for McCain, but it won't be the end of the world if Obama wins. Some of the propoganda put out by the right near election time amounts to nothing but fear mongering. Obama will be worse on guns, but may not be able to get anything accomplished on that front. He will, however, be much more likely to de-escalate the perpetual war we have entered into in the middle east. I suspect the only big difference between a McCain and Obama presidency will be a higher federal income tax rate under Obama, and perhaps a de-escalation of war.
In any case, some of you guys better get used to the idea of President Obama, because I don't believe there is any way McCain can win. You are living in fantasyland if you think that McCain can run on Bush policy and still have a chance of winning. That is what he is doing. Less than 30% of people support our present course in the Mid East, yet McCain pushes this same policy.
Also, I believe the Republican grasp on the south is over, and Obama will pick up a couple of southern states. Without the entire south going Republican, there is no hope for a McCain victory. The numbers are on Obama's side in the south. For example, 40% of voters are black in Georgia. Over 95% of these voters will vote for Obama, based on race alone. Turn out of this group to vote for a black candidate will be nearly 100% (if not over). So Obama will be starting with nearly 40% of the popular vote in Georgia, and McCain will be starting from ZERO. Of the remaining 60% of Georgia voters (ie, the white voters), Obama only has to pick up about 12 percent of them to win Georgia. I assure you that at least 12 out of every 100 Georgia voters will vote for Obama. He really needs only a small number of white supporters in most southern states in order to win. These numbers are even worse in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. McCain will also be hurt by poor voter turn out amongst whites and conservatives. No one in the south is very enthusiastic about him as a candidate. Remember a lot of southern states voted for Huckabee.
If you think about the above numbers, there is no way to conclude that McCain has a chance at victory. Yet the Republican Party trudges forward, supporting failed Bush policies and expecting victory. It is very sad how blind the party has become.
