Nebraska Goes Obama.

Posted by TNconservative on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 7:22:42 PM
Well there has been a new plan to win one of the electoral votes from Nebraska for Obama out of it's urban areas.
 
It is just one but consider this,
 
Obama will likely win California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, and DC.
 
I think anyone could admit that Obama is likely to win those states, or atleast that they lean in his favor.
 
That makes 255 electoral votes for Obama.  It only takes 270 to win.
 
Now you have New Mexico which has been polling good for Obama and even many wishful thinking republican supporters are admiting that this state is leaning Obama.
 
Thats an extra 5 votes for 260 electoral votes for Obama.
 
Now you also have Colorado which has been trending towards going for Obama pretty consistantly.  A lot of people are admitting that this state is also likely to go for Obama.
 
If that happens then you can add 9 votes for a total of 269 electoral votes for Obama.
 
With 269 electoral votes, you are only 1 electoral vote away from winning.  That one from Nebraska would be it.  For the GOP, in losing New Mexico and Colorado, and a single electoral vote from Nebraska, they will have lost more than they could afford to, and they will have lost.
 
At that point it would not matter if McCain actually managed to come back and win Indiana which he has been losing.  It wouldn't matter if McCain managed to win both Flordia and Ohio, which may be a hard battle to try to win, especially Ohio.  It wouldn't matter if McCain won New Hamshire, it wouldn't matter if McCain won Virginia, which he is in danger of losing, or North Carolina, or Georgia which he very realistically could lose, nor would it matter if he won Montana and North Dakota and actually managed to keep all of the states that he has not been doing well in.  It would be still be over.  Done.
 
Please listen to me.  You know there are other elections going on this year.  The House of Representatives is up for election this year.  You claim to want conservativism.  Does your district have a conservative representing it?  If the districts got your support, rather than McCain, we could make a win out of this bad time in elections.  But if you continue to ignore this in favor of McCain who is a liberal anyways, then please remember what I am saying when he loses and vote in 2010.  Remember that congress is powerful.  They can over-ride a president.  They can impeach a president.  They can correct years and years of liberal mistakes in a very short amount of time if you get enough of them in there.

Why Palin Doesn't Matter.

Posted by TNconservative on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 6:44:20 PM
Sarah Palin is the running mate for John McCain that many people are getting excited about.  I'm sure that pretty much goes without saying.  Since McCain named her as his running mate, people have been saying very hyped up things about her.... and about him.
 
But does anything change about McCain because he named Sarah Palin as his running mate?
 
Don't you still have the same McCain who is the candidate.  Not Sarah Palin, she is not the candidate.
 
And what about the fact that this was a stunt to try to win McCain the election and add excitement to his depressing convention?  Had McCain not been in trouble and not facing against a "history making" opponent, do you think he still would have done this?  I don't think so.
 
So for me, I like Sarah Palin ok, but she is a running mate for a republican candidate who will destroy the cause and the issues of American conservatives and set them back for years to come.
 
People don't vote for a running mate. 
 
When you have to get people excited about a running mate, because the candidate himself can't get people excited then you've probably lost the election. 
 
McCain supporters are saying some pretty amazing things.  "Palin 2012".  You had better hope that McCain loses then.  You think he is going to throw away a chance to run again?  Really?  You can't be serious.  And their implying that McCain might not make it through his first term, to me it is kind of sad.  You don't hear anyone saying that someone McCain's age isn't going to make it 8 more years in the senate.  And Bob Dole was McCain's age when he ran and lost and guess what, Bob Dole is still alive today.  Most of those guys are still alive in their 80s or 90s.
 
If McCain wins, then you get a liberal in the WH for atleast 8 long years.  And Palin will be doing nothing but making speeches.  Since you like speeches so much.  Personally I don't like empty speeches with no action.  And Palin will not have the ability to act unless something happens to McCain which is pretty rare in US history, and I don't think its something you should hope for.
 
Anyways, as I have stated already I like Palin ok, so you know that what I am saying is not biased, but she is McCain's running mate, and McCain is not what we need right now.
