It’s one week before the 2008 Presidential Election. Heading into this last week of the campaign the mainstream media and the polls have Senator Barack Obama leading Senator John McCain. Most of these sources are reporting this as if it’s a slam-dunk for Obama. When I look at the polls though I see a very close race.
- Rasmussen: Obama 52, McCain 44.
- Gallup: Obama 52, McCain 43.
- Zogby: Obama 49, McCain 44.
- Hotline: Obama 50, McCain 42.
- IBD: Obama 47, McCain 43.
- ABC: Obama 53, McCain 44.
The country is obviously polarized over this election, and in no way do these polls indicate a landslide for Senator Obama as much of the mainstream media would have you believe. America has a long difficult road ahead. As I’ve stated previously here and here I believe Barack Obama will end up costing everyone much more in taxes. Then of course there is my over all opinion of all politicians here.
Ultimately this election comes down to one thing. Do you believe that you can help yourself (Conservative) or do you believe that you need the government to help you (liberal)?
Alfonso (Zo) Rachel is a Black man from California who has a number of excellent videos here where he articulates his views on being a black conservative voting for John McCain versus Barack Obama. Zo is a man who has stepped back from the fray weighed the issues as they pertained to his life and circumstances, and chosen a side. Here’s his latest video.
“The country is obviously polarized over this election, and in no way do these polls indicate a landslide for Senator Obama as much of the mainstream media would have you believe”…….Sorry to disappoint, Phil, it WAS a landslide.
