It's down to this. More reporters are purged from THE ONE's presence: this time, reporters from the NY Post, Washington Times, and my metropolitan paper, The Dallas Morning News have been ousted from Obama's plane. They have been covering the campaign at great expense, but now, with five days to go, off the plane they go. Why? Is it a coincidence that all three of these papers' editorial boards endorsed John McCain? Doubtful. OF COURSE, Obama will not be honest about the reason, and what is being said is there is so much interest in being part of this historic moment (loss), that they need more room for documentary film makers and the like. Right. As I've said before, this is a thing that makes me go, "Hmmmmm." I could write a follow-up letter to the MSM, and see how the break-up is going and if they have sought therapy yet. It would be funny, if it wasn't so downright frightening. I'm starting to think of countries like China and Venezuela. Perhaps it is fitting to receive this news on Halloween. So, Obama is winning the "purge" argument.
On the other side, McCain is surging. He's always been on the side of the surge, and it's always a winner for him. Volunteers are reporting a clear momentum shift in swing states, and renewed enthusiasm for the McCain/Palin ticket. As Obama purges dissent and recovers from his disappointing info-mercial, McCain and Palin are drawing huge, excited crowds, and rolling out their get-out-the-vote effort. Meghan McCain is in Vegas with Johnny & Linda Ramone (check out her blog for some great pics!) and going to MTV events. The McCain campaign is showing their champion pedigree, and peaking at the right time; Obama's campaign is showing its confusion ($250K, $200K, $150K, $125K and who knows where it will stop?) and starting to play defense, showing up in states they had already marked off as being in their column.
Five days are left before the ultimate poll on November 4. The struggle is now Purge vs. Surge. One is a position of weakness; the other is a position of strength. This situation bodes very well for McCain/Palin next Tuesday. The more Obama continues to act out of his fear of losing, the stronger the case for McCain. The Obama campaign is smoke and mirrors, and the polls have been nothing but a reflection of this mirage. McCain and Palin are running a campaign of truth, authenticity, and belief in their cause, and the American voters will respond to that. Take your belief in our American system to the voting booth, whether it is early or on November 4. Vote for reform with a McCain vote; the kind of change Obama is offering will give us a country we no longer recognize.
