Sarah Palin is the target of vicious attacks for a reason. It is because she has energized true conservatives who were completely left out of the process of electing a President. The media pushed John McCain like he was the greatest thing since Abe Lincoln in the primaries. Reason: He was far from the Ronald Reagan Conservative they fear so much. The media figured the worst case scenario was that they got the candidate they believed they had the best chance to manipulate.

John McCain is an American hero, but the reality of it all is that he was the least favorite pick amongst Conservatives. Then onto the scene came Sarah Palin. All those Conservatives suddenly saw something that brought them hope. Whether you like her views or not, she actually ran as good a campaign as any Vice Presidential candidate ever has. She certainly was a better speaker with more likable qualities than the highly touted Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden made historic blunders as Obama’s pick. So what went so wrong that she has been so viciously attacked?

Nothing went wrong, except success. She did a phenomenal job. She was thrust into this race by surprise with no preparation and she delivered right off the bat. She did it with a message that would have made Ronald Reagan proud. Unfortunately in this political climate, that comes with the vicious attacks. The template for liberals is to ridicule and make a caracature of such a person. Make that person self conscious of their every move and get as many superficial people as possible to turn against them. It’s not complicated and it’s sadly become very predictable.

The intensity of vicious attacks in the case of Sarah Palin are mainly because she is so beloved by such a large percentage of people, thus striking fear into the hearts of liberals. No doubt there are some people, who do not want a woman in there as well. There are plenty of attacks from jealous catty women. It is interesting to watch the real nature of some people, including those like Oprah Winfrey. Hypocrisy runs wild and it exposes people like that to those who are paying attention.

There might be a few people on the political scene who might “poll” a little higher, but there is nobody who hits the ball out of the park with so many people as the Alaska Governor. She is somebody for liberals to fear. She is everything Hillary isn’t and she is even everything John McCain isn’t.

My fear is that the efforts to hurt her and her family will succeed enough to make her not want to be a candidate in 2012. She is someone who is not afraid to call out the media and speak up for her beliefs. I believe she was restrained by the McCain campaign. McCain has a lot of that political correctness thing going on. It probably cost him the Presidency. Without Sarah Palin, it probably wouldn’t have even been a race.

Sarah Palin will be doing an interview next week with Greta Van Susteren. We will see where she is at right now. She has to be shell shocked from the attacks from liberals, the biased media, and even some sore losers in the McCain camp. With all due respect to John McCain - Picking Sarah Palin was the smartest thing he did in this campaign, even though he was unable to come up with the victory.

This was the most corrupt media coverage of an election in history. The networks, including FOX News were totally in the tank for Barack Obama in the way these races were called. Race after race was called for Obama before any actual voting results were even announced. Many of those states wound up being much closer than all the states they held off on calling for John McCain.

John McCain held about a 20 point lead all night in Georgia, and as of this writing holds a 12 point lead there with 92% of the vote in. Race still not called. It took 70% of the vote in McCain’s home state for them to call that for him. Did anyone think he would lose that? The media wanted to be cautious, but only when it came to John McCain.

They called Ohio, a crucial state and one that was considered close - before any voting results came in. As of this writing Obama only leads Ohio by 1.5 points with 72% of the vote in. It took them about 15% of the vote to call Texas for John McCain. There was no way Barack Obama was going to win Texas and as of right now McCain leads there by over 10 percent with over 80% in. This was the case all night long…

Why does it matter? It matters because this affects voters in states that are still voting. People are much more likely to go to the trouble to go out and vote when they think their candidate is going to win than if they are depressed because the vermin in the media are telling them their candidate can’t win. We have seen it in the last 2 elections. The debacle of George Bush vs Al Gore in Florida and the botched calls didn’t stop them from doing it again.

I don’t know what would have happened if it weren’t for these deceptive and deceitful actions. I think with the fraudulent coverage, along with the mass voter fraud that we know has taken place, that this election was likely stolen by the media and ACORN. I think the media and pollsters making people believe for more than a month that Obama had a lead of about 8% probably cost John McCain another couple points at the real polls. It looks like the actual vote is going to be about half that margin. You know damn well that many people stayed home because they were deceived and dispirited because of those polls that were relentlessly pushed on them thanks to media bias. It’s just human nature.

If you think this is exclusive to the Presidential elections you would be wrong. The bias mainstream media has gotten good at swaying public opinion. Gone are the days when facts and honesty matters. Because of party allegiance, they only need to brainwash a small segment of society to get their man into office.

The only thing we can hope for in the case of Barack Obama is that the media’s puppet turns out to be his own man. Wouldn’t that be true justice…

Not the numbers I was hoping to report, but the final blogchow.com odds have Barack Obama +7.3. The real clear politics numbers that everyone uses has it listed as Barack Obama +7.5 as of this posting. My numbers were much closer to theirs than I was expecting, given that I had it closer in the other figures I came up with. That being said, I don’t think anyone knows how this is gonna turn out. If it hits 7.5 percent for Obama it would be more coincidence than probability, given these polls fluctuate wildly from day to day without any apparent reason. They have been wrong so many times…

Many of the crucial states are much closer than the national averages, so the possibility exists of a popular majority for Obama losing out to an electoral college victory for John McCain. The only way that will happen is for a better turnout for John McCain than Obama and the majority of undecideds breaking his way as well. That really is the purpose of the poll manipulations that go on with the media and the pollsters - to discourage the Conservative vote. It has been the same way in the past several elections. They try to make it a self fulfilling prophecy. Unfortunately, we live in a country where people want to be seen as backing a winner, whether it be a sports team or presidential candidate. I think it’s a sad but true observation that about 25% of the population are more like sheep than people. The mainstream media targets that group relentlessly, for in a close election they can make all the difference.

The election isn’t about who wins and loses, it’s about having a safe and prosperous nation. If you are willing to ignore all the signs - then I say it is between you and God. I do not pretend to know what utter lazy ignorance is in the eyes of God, but it seems to me the God of the Bible frowns on it. Living in ignorant bliss appears to be a form of early death to me, but again, that is just my own observation. If you vote for who you truly believe deep down will be the best person to secure a safe and prosperous nation then you have done all you can do. If there is a just God in heaven then you have done your part. If you vote for someone based on how smooth a character they are or how they look and you are willing to gamble the future of your loved ones and country, then you risk an awful lot.

While my own daily numbers had Barack Obama with a 6 point lead, yesterday John McCain actually won the day according to the Zogby pollsters. Despite the rolling average showing Obama by about 5, the last day in the Zogby poll showed John McCain winning 48%-47%.

This again shows that this election will be won on turnout and the undecided vote. We can only hope that the ACORN voter fraud scandal does not affect what appears to have the potential to be a very close election.

John Zogby:
“McCain outpolled Obama today, 48% to 47%. He is beginning to cut into Obama’s lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters.”

No surprise here that Barack Obama is trailing in a big way to John McCain among the Nascar voters - given the disdain liberals have shown toward Nascar fans and the fact that the Nascar faithful have represented patriotic Americans for a long time. Many of us believe that “change” - away from the constitution is what has brought America in the wrong direction.

More big news involving Barack Obama’s aunt, who was found living in housing conditions most would consider far below expectations for a close relative of the favorite to become the next President. We have now found out that Obama’s aunt is, in fact, an illegal alien living here for the past 4 years. The Obama campaign has also accepted some illegal contributions from her…

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger had some classic quotes in regards to Barack Obama and his policies at an Ohio campaign rally. He joked on how Obama’s physique and policies could use some meat. Schwarzenegger also heaped praise onto John McCain and called him a “real-life American hero.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger Presidential Election Quotes:

“I want to invite Senator Obama because he needs to do something about those skinny legs… We’re going to make him do some biceps curls to beef up those scrawny little arms. But if he could only do something about putting some meat on his ideas. Senator McCain on the other hand is built like a rock. His character and his views are solid.”

“John McCain’s character has been tested as no other presidential candidate in the history of this nation. He has spent five and a half years as a prisoner of war. He has been tested under torture, under temptation, under deprivation, under isolation.”

“He has proven what kind of a man he is. We don’t have to wonder if he’s ready to lead. We don’t have to wonder is he’s ready to be president of the United States. John McCain has served his country longer in a POW camp than his opponent has served in the United State Senate.”

Barack Obama has regained a 5.4 point lead over John McCain through Thursday in my tracking of the Presidential race. With close to 10 percent of voters still undecided, it is important for McCain to get a large percentage of those votes. I’ll post the numbers through Friday on Saturday and then the last 2 sets of numbers will be posted Monday and Tuesday.

More troubling news coming out of the Obama corner. A Drudge Report exclusive revealed that reporters from the NY POST, DALLAS MORNING NEWS and WASHINGTON TIMES were told to leave the Obama plane for the final days of the Presidential election after endorsing John McCain for President. Amazing that with such biased coverage for Barack Obama in this campaign they could squash what little positive coverage there is of John McCain.

News has come out that Barack Obama’s aunt was found living in a slum, where she has been for many years. Obama has claimed to be his “brother’s keeper” and has promised to take care of all Americans… But alas, he can’t even help out his poor aunt. He even spoke of her in his book.

If all that isn’t bad enough, news out that Barack’s friend, the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers dedicated a book called ‘Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism’ to Sirhan Sirhan, the man who murdered Robert Kennedy. The connections there with Ted Kennedy and Barack’s trying to be the next John F. Kennedy are sickening.

We’ll have to see if any of this has a bearing on the election. Hard to say seeing that the media has been totally in the corner of Barack Obama thus far…

Barack Obama may have slowed the momentum of John McCain as he holds a 3.3 point lead through the end of yesterday. My figures through Monday gave Obama a 1.6 point lead. Still a very close election and anybody’s race right now.

The big Presidential election story on Tuesday continued to be the L.A. times suppressing the video of Obama praising Palestinian P.L.O. radical Rashid Khalidi at a 2003 banquet. Yet another instance of Barack Obama showing love for an anti-American/Anti-Israeli monster. Might as well throw anti-Christian in there as well. There is definitely a frightening trend of associations which trump anything ever seen by a major Presidential candidate.

It remains to be seen if the infomercial of Barack Obama’s will help him to hold off the late surge by John McCain or if McCain can make another late election close. How Obama was able to raise so much more money then John MCain in such a close race while supposedly representing the party of the “poor” is a huge story in itself. That, like the ACORN voter fraud mass registrations - just doesn’t add up.

The race is a lot closer than the media has been reporting for the last couple months. My figures give Obama a 1.6 point lead through October 28. I don’t know how it’s gonna turn out, but it is looking like a very close election right now.

The big election story on Monday was the L.A. times suppressing a video of Obama praising Palestinian radical Rashid Khalidi at a 2003 banquet. Talk about a stacked deck.

“A major news organization is intentionally suppressing information that could provide a clearer link between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi. . . The election is one week away, and it’s unfortunate that the press so obviously favors Barack Obama that this campaign must publicly request that the Los Angeles Times do its job — make information public.” — McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb
