Why Obama can't win

The polls show Obama in a significant lead.
The early voting is showing early voters are out in hordes - dominantly Democrat and Independent voters and many of them black.

I have no confidence that this will result in Obama getting what would seem to be a logical win. I have no confidence the voters will get their vote.

The GOP has been screaming voter fraud from the Dems - which is its pre-empt of voter frauds they have up their sleeve. They have done it before and they are about to do it again.
I seem to live amid people who believe that honesty and ethics will prevail and that the results of the election will relate to the figures on the opinion polls. I simply cannot be as Pollyanna. I expect the on-the-day votes to deliver a "surprise" victory to McCain.
I am so sure of this that my heart is heavy from the futility of it all.

Voters have already been reporting that they can't get the voting machines to accept their Democrat votes, that the machines keep bouncing their votes in the other direction.
The voting machines are made by GOP supporters.

The GOP is discrediting the votes being made by blacks through ACORN registrations. These will disappear. Black votes generally are doomed - again. I do admire black Americans for continuing to come and and stand up against this crap.
The special facilities being laid on to get votes from the armed forces overseas are, by contrast, a complete scam to glean what are expected to be predominately Republican votes. They can vote online.

Just watch a repeat of Florida.

Meanwhile, forget Jackie Kennedy and her extravagant clothes in the White House. If Sarah Palin requires $US150,000 of high fashion hockey mum grooming in a couple of months, god knows what four years of primping would cost.

McCain's blame game

John McCain's campaign has not been going well in New Hampshire. The Republican might have trounced George Bush here in the 2000 primary but it looks as if, this time, he will lose to Bonzo the clown, or almost any of his party rivals. He is panic-stricken because, as his campaign has explained, the NH primary is of primary significance.
McCain's reaction has been to fire his NH campaign manager, as if this hapless organiser is the reason for McCain's lacklustre showing. Methinks that no matter how many scapegoats 70-year-old McCain finds, his poor polls are because the Repubs simply don't see him as up to the job.

Meanwhile, it is Hillary Day of Action in NH today - and we are off to hit the streets.
