McCain Victory Dance!!!...Maybe?

Well, call me blindly optimistic, but I believe that, once all of the dust settles, McCain will prevail.

I don't base this belief in what the polls say, they are wrong more often than not.  I base it more in what I see happening in the Obama campaign.  There are signs of desperation.

If this election was a lock in their internal polling, they would not be campaigning so desperately in so many states.  Obama has set a pace almost equal to that of John McCain and Sarah Palin over the past week.  Historically this is unusual for a campaign that is sure of its victory.

I also have faith in the American electorate.  I do not believe they will elect this con-man.  

Obama is so transparently unqualified and dishonest that I cannot believe the American electorate will fall for his line of garbage.

The caveats in all of this are:

• First, the level of early voting, which means that much of what has been revealed about Obama's true agenda: the destruction of the coal industry, his ever descending numerical description of who he believes the "rich people" are ($300K/year, $250K/year, $200K/year, $150K/year courtesy of Joe Biden, and now $100K/year courtesy of Bill Richardson), the fact that fully half of Barack Obama's campaign contributions have come from undisclosed sub-$200 donations-as a friend pointed out-how difficult is it for a single computer to generate 1000-$200 donations under fictitious names, and the admission by Tom Brokaw and a number of other leading Democrat leaning pundits that they have no idea who Barack Obama is (meaning, of course, that they have given him a complete pass and failed miserably to perform their jobs) have all come about very recently and after many have cast their ballots...which is the reason the Obama campaign has made such a strong pitch to get voters, especially the elderly, to vote early.
  
• Second, I was fooled by my misguided faith in the wisdom of our electorate in 1996 when America voted for Bill Clinton a second time.

Still, I remain cautiously optimistic.

Only time will tell us what happens today and where this nation is headed, down the dead-end road of a failed socialist philosophy, or upward towards prosperity and stability.

The most disturbing thing in this election is the underlying threat from the Obama supporters of a violent reaction should he lose.  This sort of voter intimidation cannot be measured but it has been present from the beginning.  There are a significant number postings on the kook fringe blog forums calling for this sort of behavior, places like democraticunderground.com and dailyKos.com and a significant number of voters who are intimidated by such a threat.

The most hopeful thing about this election is the tendency of McCain supporters and Conservatives to either tell pollsters how they are voting or to state honestly how they voted.

I hope and believe that McCain will win this election...narrowly.  He has always been the worst of the candidates who were vying for the Republican nomination and he was chosen for the most part by the massive cross-over voting in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida (yes there was a lot of it there as well), but with all of his faults, he is infinitely preferable to this least qualified Presidential candidate in America's history.

Victory for McCain...and may God Protect This American Republic should he lose.
