George's Bottom Line

Like your outcomes....Way to go >

I smell "puppy breath" coming from the White house.

As I see it, there were two key elements to this election that I noted early on.
The first was a profile more than a year ago in the Atlantic Monthly in which the author said: "Obama's history is our destiny." It seems to me that there is a yearning for an end to divisiveness in this country and no issue has been more divisive in the history of this country than race.
The second is something that occurred to me as I considered my own vote in the Democratic primary. I looked back over the last three presidencies: Bush-Clinton-Bush. Was it really to be Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton? I really didn't like the idea of a permanent ruling class handing the presidency back and forth between the chosen families. It smacked to me of the Roman Republic's later days. In the end Obama was, if nothing else, clearly a break from that.

I echo it all in simple translation....

Obama and the Democrats in a LANDSLIDE!

POTUS OBAMA - IT'S A LOCK!!!

I'm still afraid to hope.

Amazing that ABC News leans so predominatley left. Is it possible to get a more substantial slant to the political left on one Round Table discussion. How about some diversity in a discussion so close to a very important Presidential Election. Why would I expect anything more from ABC News. "Amazing"

My prediction for Election Night:

2008 Election:
Obama 489, McCain 49

Which is the same as...

1980 Election:
Reagan 489, Carter 49

I don't really care much for the Senate or House outcomes, but the GOP is in big trouble on November 4, 2008. No recount will save the GOP this time.

Obama/Biden '08

It's never over until the fat lady sings. But the way it stands, McCain would have to win every single one of the swing states, and most of those are leaning Obama. All Obama needs to do is win one of them (or 2 if he wins NV or NM which are only 5 EV's each). I'll be out getting the Obama word out all the way until the polls close on Tuesday, but at this point, it's looking pretty good.

You have got to understand if Obama is elected he will be sort of like Fidel Castro. If no one in the USA is allowed to be rich we will ALL be poor just like in Cuba where no one can afford a new car anymore never mind a new house. He also used cocaine in his 20's would you hire him if he said that in a job interview? If foreign investors like China and other countries see him as the 'tax man' they will no longer invest in America and start investing where its cheaper and more lucrative for them. When the war ends not only the soldiers will be out of work, but all the companies that supply the military will also have massive layoffs thereby hurting the economy even worse. THE COUNTRY IS AT WAR!!! THE WAR IS KEEPING THE USA ALIVE ECONOMICALLY. It employs millions and millions of workers. It generates trillions of dollars for our current economy. Its why we arent in a depression yet! Also the Dems and Barney Frank want to cut military spending by as much as 25% (but not end the war) so this would leave our troops leaving them in harms way these cuts mean they dont get the extra armor for vehicles or body armor etc. For our troops to be outgunned and under armored means we lose the war! America needs to be ready to win the war we are in and any future war. I dont see Obama as a war time leader he is more of a Jimmy Carter. I like the Halloween candy analogy 'redistribution of wealth' means one kid go's out and gets all the candy but has to SHARE all the candy with his brothers and sisters (leaving him not so rich). I dont want to live in the "United States of Cuba" ask any Cuban what its like to live under Castro. Also Obama lies! He even lied about his own Aunt. If he doesnt know about his own Aunt do you want him in charge of national securty???Vote McCain!!! Do you think the terrorists and Islamic Fundamentalists we are at war with will ever surrender?? They have been at war with each other for centuries!! Your childrens and their childrens future hinges on your vote. Vote for a safe USA and world! Vote McCain!

Amazing that ABC News leans so predominatley left

In case you missed it Bill:

Matthew Dowd, former Republican strategist:
Electoral Vote -- 338 plus Obama
Senate -- 8 plus pick up for Democrats
House -- 17 plus pickup for Democrats

You have got to understand if Obama is elected he will be sort of like Fidel Castro

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Too funny!! Thanks for the laugh.. I needed one this morning :)

I hate to spoil the party for everyone, but I found "stuff" written by Barrack Obama himself in Bill Ayers own words:

These are writings from Barrack book that are attributed to Barrack on his views of White people. I think this is definitely racist but I guess its OK right?

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

Barrack has a pervasive sense of grievance against me and mine because I am / we are AngloSaxican? Would anyone blame us poor uneducated racist rednecks in PA for not jumping for joy at the thought of the Obamas in the white house?

ya'all know what I am talkin bout?

These are writings from Barrack on his views of White people. I think this is definitely racist but I guess its OK if you are black as long as the MSM likes you?

Well, you sure are showing your uneducated side!

Amazing.. these people aren't out in right field.. they are in the parking lot trying to find the entrance to the stadium. A poor reflection of the education system in America today.. something that Obama wants to change!

Obama in 2008 - for a better America
(even for the idiots out there)

I think your predictions are off. After reviewing an indepentent poll; the States you are giving to Obama, are tending to be closer to McCain. But then what else is new? I predict Obama 231 to McCains'276. And I do agree with FLVoter about Obama speachs on spreading the wealth, etc., with echos of Fidel Castor. I have studied history and all you have to do is go back to Castor's speches to understand were the left liberals are coming from. If this is were you want our Country to go then be prepared for what he and the left will slowly start doing to our country; starting with electing judges to the Court who will and want to change our FREEDOMS.

So Obama is going to help me? What is he going to do pray tell? America doesn't need your kind of divisive change! America doesn't need to be divided by Black and White by Mr. Obama. We don't need his racist communist attitudes taught in our schools.

I think his mother made a huge mistake in her choices. I am pro-life, but in this case, I think I you will agree we could have made an exception with Obama and agreed with him.

It sounds like people are looking for ANY excuse not to vote for a Obama regarding the fact that he is a black man. Here we are in the final stretch and it doesn't look good for McCain (D white man) and we resort to talking about his momma. Be proud of who you are! If you have a problem voting for a black man then say it but don't resort to BS comments and allegations as excuses for yourself.

Obama gives America plenty of reason, not excuses not to vote for him. Read his book:

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

Prediction?

Pain.

John McCain served more years in a POW camp for his country than Obama has served in the senate. - Arnold. sells itself.

Same Gen outcome but the above numbers may be a little high for Obama. Ofcourse that depends on voter turnout for both parties.

This could be the funniest post I have read this election year!

Ah here they come, the thought controllers are logging in, a red alert sounded moments ago in the obama party HQ in the heart of cook county. Hundreds of overzealous otards login to spew forth the latest talking points from the dear leader...

"I think your predictions are off. After reviewing an indepentent poll; the States you are giving to Obama, are tending to be closer to McCain. But then what else is new? I predict Obama 231 to McCains'276."

Who gets the other 31, Ron Paul?

My prediction is that one way or the other the extreme buttheads who have held sway over our economic and spiritual lives will go by the wayside.

Go to: www.buttheadpolice.com.

Vote for already has beens McCain and Palin to get asses stamped on their heads. All in good fun but makes a wicked statement. Spread the word!!

I've got a prediction too...Nov 5th: Obama travels to Chicago to make amends with his buddies Ayers, Flagher, Wright, and all the other radicals, misfits, and whatnot he had to throw under the bus to get elected.

I think that the predictions accurately reflect everything that we're seeing going into the last few days of this election; the opinions expressed this morning reflect what the polls are showing, and the overall "wave" (as George put it) we're seeing in the national media. I do think, however, that any victory by the Obama campaign will not be as 'fantastic' as predicted. The electoral votes will provide him the presidency, but after a more conservative victory. Great discussion this morinig.

a 12 year old black child in the US who DID not struggle with his identity and the discrimination against people like him would have to be retarded. unlike McCain Obama was not handed life on a silver platter --

I knew his mother -- went to school with her -- and I am not surprised she produced such an intelligent, thoughtful and reflective son. as a teen she also struggled with the big issues that human's face -- she was a bright curious reflective person.

it is about time we had someone who isn't shallow and non reflective in the White House.

After watching George and George and the others this morning, I have finally made up my undecided Democrat mind! I will vote straight Republican. This country cannot afford to have that many Democrats in office in Washington at one time.

Hold on to those quotes because it may be all you have after Tuesday.

I agree the numbers predicted may be too high and other factors have to be considered but it appears right now that McCain's being a POW isn't really selling that much.

"it is about time we had someone who isn't shallow and non reflective in the White House." Oreally? lol

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

Just one lie after another with obama.

Infidel, don't you have anything better to do with your time that to quote something a guy said about what he thought when he was 13 years old?

After watching George and George and the others this morning, I have finally made up my undecided Democrat mind! I will vote straight Republican. This country cannot afford to have that many Democrats in office in Washington at one time.

Thank you Don and God bless you. America is full of Americans like you. Ones who have been betrayed by their party. Democrat heros like Zell Miller.

I think all those polls look great to me!!

Obama/Biden 08

I'm an Obama supporter but I have what I think are much more realistic numbers than what ABC is predicting. I have it as Obama 287-McCain 251. Granted I could be wrong, but I don't see him being able to turn red states in the south blue. I'd like it if he did but I just don't see it.

For you winger buttheads commenting here, ABC isn't leaning left - and you moes need to stop looking at the 'independent' polls that are fun by ignorant backwoods types like you. Obama will win even with you racists and fundamentalists out there trying to keep human beings evolving into decent human beings.

I'd say you should be ashamed of yourselves, but you have no idea what you should be ashamed of. You are lost at sea, trying to pull down any and all other poor saps that come into your grasp.

What we need to pray for are not the dumbass things you pray for, it's for inclusiviness, compassion and community to sweep over you numbnuts before your influence and dark energies sink all of us.

GOODBYE ABC News, Diane, Charlie & GEORGE!!! I've NEVER seen SO MUCH one-sided news reporting in my life time! You are NO longer respected or accepted in our home. We truly pray & hope that McCain/Palin WIN and snub you and your network for the next 4plus years! You deserve zero support from any of them! Hope your "obama" gives you plenty of material to keep you going...he does do some great stand-up comedy acts!!

It is unfair that all your predictions favor Obama. You should have a real conservative with values, and gotten him really drunk, so he could predict a McCain victory. Bill Bennett would do it I'm sure.

What is wrong Dave, the guy was 8 years old when Ayers blew up the pentagon? That stuff doesn't wash here Dave. Obama was a full grown adult when he had Ayers ghost wrote his book for him and he put his name on it.

Ayers was an adult when he wrote Prarie Fire and dedicated it to Sirhan Sirhan. You remember that piece of filth don't you?

So here come the Chickens Dave, they are coming home to roost. Twenty years with a Black supremecist. Wow Dave. Its in his book. I don't see the problem with quoting him.

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

What your all afraid of is the real poll. Predictions aren't going to dampen our enthusiasm for America Dave. Though you may try, we aren't giving up.

Prediction - It's "Morning in America" come November 4th. Obama 44!

In Sundays predictions of the winning margin for senator Obama there was no mention of those who will not vote for a black man regardless of who he is. I have seen guesses that Obama must have at least a 6% lead in most polls to overcome this fact. Your comments?

What did you expect from ABC news .....
They all blow in the same bag !!!!!!!!

McCain: 539
Obama: 0

Jesus gets his own electoral college vote.

I've voted Republican all my life but I can't face voting for that fool McCain and that jackass Palin. I'm sitting this one out.

Predictions don't win an election. Votes do. We won't give up, we won't quit, we aren't going to stop.

I hope for America's sake, that if Obama wins the "election" that George Bush declares martial law, and has Obama arrested for trying to subvert the
American government.

McCain will be an utter disaster for America, but Obama CANNOT be permitted to set foot in the White House.

For the sake of America, neither McCain nor Obama should be allowed to take over.

Long live George Bush!

Make him President for life!

Black people built the White House. It's about time some of them got to live in it.

Electoral Vote: 269 to 269

Civil War breaks out

It doesnt matter who wins the election...no matter who it is, we are all still screwed!

Bill Brown: " How about some diversity in a discussion so close to a very important Presidential Election."

At some point, diversity become a lie. They are reporting the facts, reality, including that suggested by right leaning polls (such as FoxNews among others). Would you have them live in a fantasy land for the sake of balance?

Infidel - I think the tin-foil hat has slipped. If you've lost your, I believe the folks at National Review are offering one with the NR logo for new subscribers.

AND ON ANOTHER NETWORK - WORLD CLASS VIEW OF THE SKEW! http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/mccain-qvc-open/805381/

You've gotta watch it!

Obama 326 -370

A landslide

Palin back to the Bridge To Nowhere.

No One: "Civil War breaks out"

Ha. This potentiality has already been endlessly debated. The Constitutional mechanism in place would most likely result in an Obama victory.

Nice try Dave. But your liberal thought process and thinking has betrayed you to be an otard. Only an otard would make such comments. There won't be any martial law declared. We are going to come out and Vote on Tuesday pal. All Americans are going to be heard from Bud. You guys there in cook county can pack it in. But you better have the riot police out Tuesday nite cause your constituents aren't going to be happy.

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

Just "stuff" dave. I am just repeating stuff I have read.

Obama 396
McCain 142

Democrats gain 8 Senate seats, + 1 run-off
Democrats gain 32 House seats

"Is it possible to get a more substantial slant to the political left on one Round Table discussion."

Matthew Doud? George WILL?!! LEFT?!!! You guys never cease to make me laugh at your ability to ignore facts. Matthew and George are about as far left as the Leaning Tower of Pisa is completely vertical.

You fear of any change just hamstrings your soul. I wish I could feel sorry for you but I don't. After 8 years of Dubya and 12 of the past 14 years of Republican control of Congress, I am more interested in the country's future than I am in your sorry a$$ fears. If we can survive Dubya, we can survive anything.

But McCain was a POW!

Sarah Palin was a Miss!

Life is not fair!

jhcook: "I have seen guesses that Obama must have at least a 6% lead in most polls to overcome this fact. Your comments?"

This has been endlessly discussed in depth elsewhere. Google up the "Bradley Effect." Obama certainly needs every vote he can get to make it over the threshold, but all the analysis possible of polling (including turning up, interesting, that there was NO 'Bradley Effect' in it's namesake's election) indicates Obama will clear it.

Great outcomes!

Obama: 353

Black people built the White House. It's about time some of them got to live in it.

Nothing wrong with black people J. (I see that brought out the big guns). My best to mr axlerod.

Its racists I object to, obama and his reverend are both racist. The proof is in Mr. Ayers book Dreams and in the sermons J.

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

I can't stand Palin. What a stupid person she is!

My guess is that your all sleeping with obama

All I can say is that I can't wait for this to be over. I have enjoyed, stressed, worried, obsessed, analyzed, argued, cried, become frustrated, watched and been consumed by this election for the last year and half. I'm OVER IT. I am done with the endless projection, speculation and arguing. It all comes down to 12:00am November 5th. I believe that Obama will win but I am still very anxious about it all. Whether or not he gets 350 is irrelevant to me, I just want him to get the 270 in whatever combination of states he gets it in. As an Independent female voter in a battleground state, the selection of Palin & the subsequent suspending & unsuspending his campaign stunt, McCain sent me firmly to Obama. I like McCain actually and I think the Republican platform has merits. I think McCain chose the wrong strategy. I think McCain is a good man and an honorable man and I think he had poor judgement in his campaign strategy. With that being said I really can't wait for this to be all over. We have so many problems in the US and it's time to work to start solving these problems. I have faith that Obama will be a competent president but what is the great unknown is if he will be an exceptional president. One thing for sure is that Obama should not be underestimated. He is keenly brilliant, I hope that brilliance leads to tangible successes for all Americans.

FranklyMyDear - Hear, hear!

Even Montana will go Obama what with Barr upsetting the applecart there and taking the 4% McCain needs to win it.

Obama was a full grown adult when he had Ayers ghost wrote his book for him and he put his name on it
-----------------------
WOW. You managed to lose all credibilty with the first two sentences.

Impressive!

Colorado and PA- Virginia

273-Obama and maybe Georgia
265-for McCain and minus Georgia

Bill Brown offered: "Amazing that ABC News leans so predominatley (sic) left."

Bill, it's not leaning, it's called "reading the cards on the table."

In other words, REPORTING THE NEWS.

I just finished watching the show George. It's a staple to my Sunday's. Your my new Russert.
Man, I miss that man, good stuff. I hope you disregard the wonks around the block, stay focused on people in the country. Americas going to need a weekly dissenting voice for whom ever becomes President.

We will need voices of accountability, nothing is done with this election, it‘s all just beginning.

The fight for people is just emerging. I have believed that would come with either candidate.

Having traveled the Middle East and Asia I am watching with hope, Si Se Pueda. This message is for encouraging and equipping for a greater good.

We need to fight complacency, fear and entrenched power brokers. Use your show and pick up where Russert left off.
I am a registered Independent either man will be against an entrenched power that will not give it up easily. Join up on twitter...Hear from real people.

I look forward to the coming year, you can start looking into India’s shift it’s going to make all the difference….to many.
Blessings,

Infidel why don't you quote correctly instead of putting your own spin on it?

"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."-Truth!
This is an accurate quote from the introduction to Dreams from My Father. The book chronicles Obama's experience as the son of an African father and an American mother.

"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."-Fiction!
This quote does not exist in either of Obama's books.

Republicans are already crying. I love it. And their crying for the next 4 years will be sweet music to my ears.

Christine: I'm still afraid to hope. We all are, Christine. We don't count our chickens before they are hatched. You cast your vote, I'll cast mine - and we'll watch it happen together. Remember: Yes We Can :)

I find it very sad to read so many hateful blog this morning - I Hope and Pray that you negative individuals will some day find joy and happiness in life.

Obama/Biden

I hate to spoil the party for everyone, but I found "stuff" written by Barrack Obama himself in Bill Ayers own words:
Posted by: Infidel | Nov 2, 2008 10:23:21 AM

Blah, blah, blah.
Pssssst, guess what....NOBODY GIVES A DAM!
It's over!
Obama will be the next President.

The Titanic Express is sinking fast.
"Man the Life Boats, she's going down"!

Let me make it easy for you otards. We will use bullets with short sentences so you don't get lost.

-obama bad mans - racist

- McCain Good Mans. loves his country fought for us.

- Ayers Bad mans, terroist, blows up pentagon

- Obama Ayers, good friends

- Wright, dams our land in gods name! man likes his chicken too.

- obama/Wright, Baptised the babies and close friends. chickens on the way.

- obama Taxes you aren't going to believe and an economy in ruins

- McCain lower taxes for busines, jobs for everyone. even people that had obama bumper stickers.

There that is pretty straight forward for you.

Enriqueta: Beautifully said. There is truth in what you say there. That's so rare. Precious.

I will predict that Obama will get 341 electoral votes.

The Democrats will pick up 7 seats in the Senate. They will pick up NH, NC, Virginia, Colorado, NM, Alaska, and Oregon.

It'll be over soon enough - and then the naysayers will find that Obama runs a sane, balanced economy, not one based on the rapine of the people by the governing classes. He's a Chicago politician, not Castro, but he cares deeply about the people - he's one of the first truly working class presidents for a long, long time.

if you have doubts, go read 'The Shock Doctrine' by Naomi Klein and thank heaven this man is here to stop its progress.

May the most unflappable, stable, non-erratic, deep-thinker win.

Go BARACK go!!!!!!!

McCain/Palin have not showed a lead in the last 6 weeks.

Of the 169 National polls conducted, ALL have shown Obama ahead.

But as we all know, those polls are obviously "in the tank" for Obama.

I'm praying the predictions are correct. McCain-Palin in the White House is a scary proposition. I can't imagine anything worse than Bush-Cheney, but they certainly would be! I love this country and have great hope if Obama-Biden are elected!

I find it very sad to read so many hateful blog this morning - I Hope and Pray that you negative individuals will some day find joy and happiness in life.

McCain Palin.

I apologize for my son's rant....He is how do I put it..."Mentally Special"...Plus he is on Kool Aid with Ice...I think thats freezing his brain...

Once again apologies...

GOODBYE ABC News, Diane, Charlie & GEORGE!!! I've NEVER seen SO MUCH one-sided news reporting in my life time!
Posted by: eli | Nov 2, 2008 11:10:36 AM

How is reporting the true, "on-sided"?
Oh I know, it's not your side.

Goodbye, I sure False News would love to have you, their ratings are tanking just like the McSame campaign.
