It was the mainstream media that was all aflutter about Palin. As is often the case, when one network gushed the others followed suit. The only people I know who seemed thrilled with her were the RNC attendees. And, of course, she seemed like a wonderful balance to McCain’s old, tired and clueless image. Once again the mainstream media took something, blew it up into a big “story”, bandied it about and now we discover it was mostly fluff after all. The more people learn about Palin, the more revolting she appears.

Geez, can it be true that our likley voters are likely using their brains? Is it possible that there are more “nikolais” out there using the independent brand to vote democratically? All I know is that I read this as good news. And I PRAY for the continued good health and well being of any under-25 year olds who are voting for Obama!

Let’s examine these polls for a minute; they lean on registered or likely voters; what about the millions of newly registered voters? What about the millions of college students and 20-somethings who don’t have a land line? I believe that will have a significant effect on the election. Why isn’t this being discussed more often?

“Todayâ€™s Rasmussen poll shows McCain at 48 percent and Obama at 47. Three days ago, it was McCain at 50 and Obama at 47.”

And those figures are most likely skewed in McCain’s favor, as they are taking for granted that McCain will get more than his fair share from independent voters. I DOUBT it Johnny-boy! That’s why I went independent, so I could protest in my own little way why still voting democratic most of the time.

Definitely last but not least, I think the repubs have a LOT to worry about with McCain saying a couple of months ago he didn’t know much about economics. That rightfully SHOULD be the final nail in McCain’s coffin (with Obama’s camp hammering away at it) but ignorant folk aound the U.S. will probably ADMIRE it instead.
