The Fight Isn’t Over Yet!
According to the Associated Press, Obama had 186 solid electoral votes and 100 leaning electoral votes, and McCain had 122 solid electoral votes and 41 leaning electoral votes, on Oct.29. In the end, they estimated six states and 89 votes as toss-ups.
As of Friday, Oct.31, The New York Times staff reports show Obama having a solid 199 and a leaning 95 electoral votes. McCain has a solid 137 with 26 leaning, and the toss-ups are down to 84.
Please be informed that a candidate only needs 270 electoral votes between the House and Senate to win.
Because studies show that early polling can have an adverse effect on voters, the “We already won,” syndrome, I urge you to continue to get your friends and loved ones to the polls. I urge you to continue to campaign for whatever party you support and I urge you to be aware of your candidate’s platform and their agenda.
Obama has said publicly that this race is going to get really ugly in the next couple of weeks, and recent events in the news have only proven him right. Articles have surfaced about him being a Muslim and the Anti-Christ, and about him knowing that a relative resides in the states illegally, to distract you from important things that are taking place in the Republican Party—i.e. Palin charging Alaska for her kids to travel, Alaskan Sen. guilty of corruption charges, Palin’s wardrobe costing $150,000.
The McCain Campaign is doing all they can to sway voters in their direction, and there’s nothing wrong with that when you go about it the right way. It’s when lies and scandals become the real issues, and things like education, immigration reform and the nation’s budget deficit go unaddressed; that we have a problem.
I know in politics, there will be some politicking going on, but constant slander is not politicking, that’s cowardly.
Simply put; let’s not count chickens before they hatch.
