Last night, I was on the air discussing the presidential race and I commented that, "much of what is being done right now is being done to demoralize conservatives from the mainstream media and to convince them this race is over."
"Public opinion samplings that attempt to predict the winner in an election contest are utterly useless to a candidate and anunnecessary waste of money." At least that's what my dad
Steve Shadegg said 40 years ago.
I still agree.The McCain - Palin race, our race, in fact, no close race is over until the polls close on Election Day.
And, I believe in the end, Senator McCain will win and so will many of the Republicans the mainstream media is working overtime to convince you have already lost.
Don't get discouraged. Barack Obama does not have a tremendous lead over John McCain in the presidential race.
It's important to remember that far more polls are wrong than right. Had they been right in 1980, Carter would've had a second term and Reagan would've stayed in California.
If they were correct in 2000 and 2004, Bush never would've been in the White House.
An AP poll conducted from 10/18 to 10/20, 2004 showed John Kerry leading George W. Bush by 3 percentage points. Even a FOX News poll conducted from 10/30 to 10/31 in 2004 showed Kerry up by 2 points.
I realize this isn't 2004, but the key to any major political contest has always and will always be timing. The last two weeks of an election are the most critical, and that's why John McCain, Sarah Palin, and every Republican need your help in the final push.
Acceleration is crucial. It doesn't really matter where a candidate stands in the arena of public opinion at the beginning or the middle of a campaign. What matter s is that your candidate gains new supporters every day.The last few years have been rough for us all.
Many of you have told me that it's hard to be motivated this election cycle, but you have to be! The stakes are simply too great! Get to work! Talk to your friends. Send e-mails, put bumper stickers on your car, your kids' cars, your friends' cars; we have plenty!
Put a yard sign in your yard, in your family member's yard, in your friend's yard. Work our phone bank or one for McCain-Palin.
It's not going to be a walk in the park we have a major fight on our hands. But if we work non-stop from now to election day, we CAN and we will win this election.
Don't let the media or anyone else convince you otherwise.
