Sen. McCain Can Still Win the Election

Posted by James Young on November 2, 2008

So it’s 3 days before the election. Sen. Obama has been the presumptive front runner for weeks. He has arguably bested Sen. McCain in the debates. He has tons of money. The public has soured on Gov. Palin as VP. McCain has not been able to get a message to stick. People are generally sick of Sen. McCains negative campaign ads.

But with all of this, I still think that Sen. McCain can and possibly will win the election.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’ll be sad if this happens. But I think it could happen. Here’s why:

  1. Most of the polled have been Democrats.
  2. There are still a lot of undecided voters that could be swayed by the last minute push of both camps.
  3. There still be be some last minute surprise. (Remember, a few days before the last election, Sen. Kerry was ahead in the polls, but fell behind when Osama Bin Laden released a video)
  4. There are a lot of young people that are supporting Sen. Obama; unfortunately this group has a nagging reputation for not actually voting.
  5. Since Sen. Obama has been percieved to be leading, His supporters may be assuming that he’ll win and not vote, while the Sen. McCain supporters are going to feel an increased urgency to vote.

Just some food for thought. If you are an Obama supporter, don’t assume that he is going to win. You need to actually vote!

Please share this message with all of your Democratic friends!
