Callin' It Quits

Is it really over? A special Reader Mail exchange on Robert Stacy McCain's "How John McCain Lost."

(Page 3 of 8)

br> -- Cathy Thorpe br> Columbus, Georgia /p>

RSM has called it a little early for the McCain loss. Two weeks of hammering away at Obama's obvious weaknesses coupled with a skilled attack in the next debate can melt a 6 point lead away to parity.

The real October surprise is coming in a couple weeks and that would be the many bombs your friendly mail carrier will deliver: third quarter 401k and mutual fund reports. They will be very ugly.

The MSM will follow up with days of negativity with the questioning of Republican "plans" for a remedy. Maybe we can postpone these reports until Nov. 5? The Obama will then make a commercial with a clip of President Bush declaring "...this sucker could go down" if John McCain is elected.

p>Sounds too simple but then so is going after Obama's glaring weaknesses which up until a couple of days ago McCain had not done. br> -- Diamon Sforza /p>

What a defeatist! Has the author considered the sampling of those polls he refers to? They are overwhelmingly Democrat! Has the author been around for 2000 and 2004, where the polls pointed to a Democrat victory as well?

Does the author know that most pollsters are owned by the media? And that said media is 80% in the tank for Obama? Early voting is commencing in several states, and the polls are slanted to discourage votes for Senator McCain, and to coincide with the meme that the Wall St. crisis is the fault of the Republicans.

I wonder what excuse the author will make if he is proven wrong? If he is proven wrong, I would like to offer him a scoop of Moose Tracks ice cream to top that slice of humble pie.

p>Really, such a myopic article is not worthy of this journal.
