Wow, Thats the only word I could think of when I look back at last week. Obama has not only surpassed McCain in the polls but he is continuing to widen the gap everyday. The problems with McCain's campaign are numerous. Many Evangelicals feel that he is not conservative enough.In response they are joining the Libertarians. All of the sudden Bob Barr has turned into the very popular conservative version of Ralph Nader. Which means that he will steal a good chunk of votes from McCain.
The next problem with McCain's campaign are the Obamacons.What is a Obamacon? Well, a Obamacon is a republican who supports Obama. The two most famous Obamacons are Colin Powell and Chuck Hagel. Many Obamacons feel that Obama can bring this country together and even bring the two parties together. Some others feel that the Republican party is dead. Which, I think is true, many republicans are flocking to the Libertarian party and others going toward the independents.This is a real problem for McCain. He is fighting a two front war and he is losing. The polls show it.
The last problem for McCain is getting enough money to run his campaign. Obama still leads him in fund raising and he is spending that extra money in states the McCain never expected to have to battle for. Obama is throwing money into Texas, Ohio,Florida, and into much of the western states. According to the polls it's working. Ohio and Florida are favoring Obama. This is putting a strain on John McCain's wallet.
But the one thing that will sound the final death knell for McCain is Obama's extensive network of grassroots programs nation wide. In my county alone he has over two hundred volunteers ready to go door to door, phone bank, and other methods to help Obama. I have yet to hear anything about a McCain program like this.
Overall, I think McCain has a lot of work to do if ever expects to close the gap with Obama. But I don't think he will. I think it's to late. He let Obama gain the momentum which is what Clinton did and when she realized that. It was to late she lost.
I think that's exactly what will happen to McCain as well.
I really don't think McCain has much of a chance.
I really don't think that McCain is going to win either. But you have to still give McCain a chance. Just look at Bush. The majority of the population didn't even vote for Bush but he won. That's because of the electoral vote. Individual vote don't count for nothing. Electoral vote is what put a person in office. Bush got more electoral vote so he won even if he got less vote. Same thing can still happen to McCain but I doubt it. And yes, if anyone think that Bush cheated to win, I agree but I not going into detail on that.
On another note, I think that the practice of electing a president is a stage event to trick people into believing that we the people chose our president. The president is already long been chosen by the corrupt people in power. They are just waiting for the people to acknowledge it by votes. Hope this make sense and if it did, sound crazy right? But hey, even if you didn't agree, just think about it.
It's not the first time I've heard about conspiracy theories such as yours. I'm not sure what my personal opinion is about that, but it's interesting to think about.
We don't really have much knowledge about what's really going on behind closed doors in Washington.
