Yeah you heard me offense and we are down by four it the forth, 4th down, but we have one timeout inside there 20 and we need a touchdown.
So instead of passing we have chosen to hand the ball off to Palin on 1st and 2nd we need at least 2 yards for a first down. The idea that we are going to lose reminds me of watching the Denver Broncos playing the GreenBay Packers in SuperBowl 32. Because of the teams history no one actually believed they could win until we woke up the morning after.
Limbaugh is 100% correct when he says the only numbers pollsters care about is the ones the day of the election. They have to be right to be taken seriously the esscense of their talent is in accurate poll predictions.
That said McCain has tried to catch Obama's team in the prevent defense by running the ball he doesn't have to score to stay alive, however if he gets a first down which means getting back to even in the polls he still has to score to win in 4 weeks.
So many things can happen in that amount of time that could erase everything else from front page. But the thing is none of that is attributable to McCain. McCain is positioned to be a reliable alternative to Obama for independent voters who see Bush as the problem. If Obama suffers any real kind of scandel igniting in the press he won't recover in time to win. The short list includes some obvious names like Ayers, Wright, and Raines aren't well known to the general public but their complete records are pretty much available. Or are they? Closer connections to Obama might surface but if they don't those ties may be dismissed. Unless pastor Manning is right and he has actual evidence not just an enlightened suspicion that Obama is a homosexual. Larry Sinclair an admitted homosexual who claimed publically that he knew Obama and that they engaged in both sexual behavior and did drugs together. If any of that were proven as truth his campaign is toast, if not he won't be affected because the media has already dismissed it. Obama has issues that go back everyday of his life that could potentially derail his candidacy, including claims that he has produced a false copy of his birth certificate, which relates to his adoption by Lolo Solotero who brought Barrack to Indonessia, some say he wasn't even born in the US which challenges his citizenship requirement to become president.
McCain won't show his hand but he knows something and I think he is sure it will sink Obama's political future. Otherwise Obama would be out trying to get a mandate for his claim to change. The fact that he doesn't appear to be having a huge coat tail effect exposes his obvious strategy to run out the clock.
But then again so is McCain, he must have a play he wants to run with .15 seconds left to go over the top.
Or it could just be wishful thinking
