GOP pollster: ‘I cannot foresee’ scenario where McCain wins
David Edwards and Andrew McLemore
Raw Story

It doesn’t look good for Sen. John McCain.
Both campaigns have pushed polls that show their candidate in a position to win the presidential race, but a Republican pollster said it is highly unlikely McCain will triumph on Tuesday.
“I cannot foresee a scenario that John McCain is elected the President of the United States,” pollster Frank Luntz said.
Luntz said the economic crisis was the downfall of McCain’s campaign, which enjoyed a 10-day lead over Sen. Barack Obama that “collapsed” with the stock market in mid-September.
McCain told voters he can guarantee a win in the election, though it will be a close race, Radio Australia reported.
But polls show McCain continues to trail behind Obama in key states like Ohio.

“We are very competitive in those areas and we’re going to have to just get out our vote and work very hard over the next nine days,” McCain said.
Supporters of the GOP hopeful tend to agree with his disregard for the pre-election predictions based on the polls, Reuters reported.
“I don’t care about the polls. I think they’re designed to affect people’s emotions,” said photographer Jan Ogle.
But a confident Obama asked voters to be his “ambassadors” and “close the deal,” CNN reported.
“In these last three days, we can’t afford to slow down or sit back or let up … not now, not when there’s so much at stake,” Obama said at a late rally in Springfield, Missouri, his third stop on Saturday.

This is good news! Hopefully Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin can take advantage of this. Bob Barr was saying the McCain was following him around.
The Republican/Democratic parties stand for nothing, are the same, and are responsible for killing thousands of Americans by sending them overseas on pointless wars, as well as wrecking our economy. They are responsible because they are the ones in power.
But you can vote for them if you want to.

I wonder what relation the “polls” have to the voting machines programming? It’s hard to tell what the machines have been programmed to do. I’m planning to push the button for Chuck Baldwin, although, realistically, I have no idea who I’ll actually be voting for. “The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God,” from the Bible, 2nd Samuel 23:3.

I agree with one and two. Vote third party and make it clear that despite the msm blackout of third party candidates that some of us aren’t buying into the traveshamockery that the election spectacle is. Obama or McCain is the NWO equivalent of a mom asking her kid if he wants peas or carrots–the illusion of a decision with no freedom.

well after Obama is elected in in with democrats fimly in control of the government I wonder how long it will be before the come for us “bitter clingers” and march us off to the ovens that are warming as we speak. Will gunowners be like the jews? I wonder. the FEMA camps are set up the police state stazi thats snoops on every one is in place, and now the people are clamoring to put in place the executioner.
I would prefer Palin as president before obama

What’s the difference between them? Both are pro-war,pro-Israel and ANTI_AMERICAN!

I wonder if I can leave my election ballot blank on the presidential selection? Local issues I would like to vote on and hate to sit home and do nothing on smaller issues, like more taxes from public schools called “initiatives”. I doubt where I’m at, a third party cadidate is even on our ballots (Oklahoma). More likely if we voted for him, a half a vote would go to the programmed candidate’s sum anyways.

Andrew is being suggesting vote 3rd Party-this would only help McCain.
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:42 am
Bob Barr and Chuck are wasted votes folks. Just get ready to bow down to President Obama. You can’t change Yahweh’s will.

Not even if Obama states publicly that he is “The Beast,” “The Anti-christ” or “The Man of Sin?” Yeah, I guess you’re right.

What if McCain wins?
Will Americans finally confront the fact that their elections are mere sideshows – that they are being suckered into supporting a system that is stealing from them and destroying others’ lives around the world in their name?
I doubt it.
It’s time to do away with this system. The banking and political system has become so fat it is about to consume the working economy. The parasite is outgrowing the host.
Unless you want your children and grandchildren living through a truly wretched period of history, then you might want to consider alternative ways of running modern society. The bankers and their politicians have shown that it doesn’t work to have the fox guard the chickens.
Don’t fight the system:
Replace it

That’s why you should vote Sarah Palin. This election isn’t about McCain. It’s about Sarah Palin.

That’s why you should vote Sarah Palin. This electuion isn’t about McCain, it’s about Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin can shoot bears and skin moose. She’s as close to Third Party as you’re going to get right now. VOTE PALIN or regret it.

Sarah Palin is an Idiot!

There is an old truism that says “never ask a question that you do not know the answer to” and this is equally true when conducting a poll.
These polls are conducted in such a way that there is not just the one question asked. There is usually a lead up list of questions which lead the person being polled is lead to the answer the pollster wants.
The whole election is anything but democratic. It is a National election even though there in fact 52 elections with different rules for each State. Yes I understand that it is not the Nation that elects the President but the States. Then to add confusion to the chaos it is not the candidate who elicits the most votes but the candidate who wins the State with the most Electoral College points. Each State has a different number of points. Who decides which States are worth more that the other States to earn these points? I would have thought that each State had equal value.
I find it strange that the rules of these elections are geared to only the two major parties are encouraged to nominate. If these elections were truly democratic then should be open to anybody who can find sufficient money to pay the nomination fee.
As an outsider I believe that the result will be who ever have spent the most money on their campaign. This time around it is reported at opensecrets.org as of 27th October 2008 at being $871,526,000.00 for the whole campaign. Is it little wonder that the mainstream media only look at those with the largest budgets so that they get their share of that money in advertizing revenue, which has been Chuck Baldwin [Constitution] ($168,000) Bob Barr [Libertarian] ($1,000,000) John McCain [Republican] ($293,000,000) Cynthia McKinney [Green] ($119,000) Ralph Nader [Independent] ($3,000,000) Barack Obama [Democrat] ($573,000,000).
What do the candidates expect to get for this investment? A job for four years with a further 4 years possible provided they go through it all again. Then they must disappear into obscurity or do the lecture circuit. For John McCain that would not be a problem as he is 72 years old now and if elected would be 76 or 80 by the time he must stand down provided he survives that long.
