Why McCain will win:

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHA

Okay, I'm going to make a prediction:

If my theory is correct, namely that McCain has terminal cancer or doesn't have long to live and has decided to take down the Evangelicals and/or split the Republican party into secular and theocratic factions by deliberately throwing the election... then one of three things are going to happen:

-McCain will demonstratively throw the election:
  ...a "senior moment" during a debate
  ...a wild public accusation: Obama is Muslim/terrorist/communist
  ...insult Obama or make some obvious factual error

-McCain will feign a mild heart-attack/collapse/fainting or such... in order to raise the ominous specter of a Palin presidency

-McCain will suddenly drop out citing serious health problems leaving the Republicans with only the Palin/Jesus ticket.


...one of these three scenarios will play out before this is all over.


Personally, I think he's going to address the American public and tell them straight out that if they believe Obama to be an Arab; Muslim; terrorist; communist; or Al Quaeda operative... then he (McCain) doesn't want their vote.

Okay folks... it's the last weekend.

If my theory is correct, now is the time for McCain to make a mistuke (or let Palin make one).

Keep watching this space.

it's been a week of mistakes.

The media isn't even piling on anymore.  They're focusing on the positive.

Obama's BARELY winning for one reason.....he's buying the election . He lied about not taking public financing but even though he's outspending McCain 4-1, it's not doing all that well.

They both lied.  We have seen the nightly fact-checking - mccain stretches the truth a lot too.

Obama agreed to sit down and discuss public financing with the repub nominee, then yes, he changed his mind and never sat down with mccain.  He never agreed to do it - he agreed to sit down and discuss it.

He absolutely flipped on that one.

Time to bump this thread!

Seems I was right... McCain DID throw the election ("Joe the Plumber" debacle) and his choice of Palin is indeed splitting the party into secular and Evangelical factions, exactly as I predicted.

64% of GOP voters see Palin as the choice for 2012. Enough said.

I don't think McCain did, I think his neocon advisors did.  Either that or they saw the real numbers and were looking to dump the blame on Palin so it didn't look like their fail.  McCain was set to loose and I'll refer to my post yesterday:

I think it can be safely said that the people didn't want to continue down the path paved by George Bush.  In that, we did want a change of direction and McCain did not represent a significant enough move away from Bush.  He opposed him in the beggining and the rest was a love fest.  McCain was not able to break that perception and that he tried to break it shows we were concerned about changing direction.

When 60 to 78% of the country says we're on the wrong track, they want to change directions.  When the percent that thinks we're on the right track is in the teens, we're definitly wanting to change directions

For your theory to be valid, you'll have to weigh it with only 11% thinking we're going in the right direction.
