Yeah, Obama wrote a book, but most of us haven’t read it and we don’t know who he is. Put together a new paragraph. Make it simple and repeat it, repeat it and repeat it again. First Black President of Harvard Law Review is good. Made Editor in Chief. Taught constitutional law 12 years, and why that’s important to America right now. I almost wish he would make stuff up like McCain does, but that’s not going to work (is it?)

The new polls are reflective of new voters and even include cell phone nubmers. Another big leap is that you are assuming everyone who signs up democratic will vote, and will vote democratic. Democrats scream alot but are twice as likely NOT to vote as Republicans. This doesn’t mean they won’t show up this year. It doesn’t work that way for the general election. Lastly, as someone who posts on this forum, you are what we used to calle Obsessive Politico’s, as opposed to enthusiastic politico’s and weekend politico’s. In other words, you are so immersed in the campaign, you have a tendency to think others will see your POV…and that it would be just outright illogical, for them to vote otherwise. Many Americans rely on gut instinct when they walk into the booth and their gut instinct is to vote for the white man.

Everyone needs to get out and vote come election day. Democrats are doing a great job registering new voters. If most show up at the polls (and BO does good in the debates) then it’s over. I don’t feel there’s any way McCain can pull it off -unless there’s another 9/11 but even that (pray it doesn’t happen) may make Bush and Co. look like they were caught with their pants down… again

No, the reason why this election seems so close is that the same people who will fix the election in November are doctoring the polls as we speak.

America is a right leaning country. On election day the “silent majority” show up at the polls. The white, religious traditionalists. Older people tend to vote Republican in large numbers.
The silent majority are going to be the ones who decide the election. They are the ones who aren’t politically active, but just show up and vote.

Despite people saying the youth vote is going to be huge, history shows thats not the case. The youth vote would have to be unprecented, along with the minority vote. And if you look at the data for voters in past elections, you’ll see the numbers are fairly small.
