Two Roads

With election almost here and both camps remaining optimistic the American people remain undecided. New polls are saying the exact opposite of what they are feeling, and the question now being asked are the polls right? In 2004 John Kerry had a 5% lead over President Bush, but on Election Day the President defeated the Senator and retained the White House. The majority of the polls you see now have the race within 5%; my own tracking poll has it down to a 3% race which is big for John McCain. Also early voting is now not helping Obama but rather a problem for him. Early voting in Ohio and Florida has been very large for McCain. Now you may think well then on Election Day Obama will have his part turn out. NO! In those two states Democrats made up 59% of the early voters, Republicans 9%, and independents 32%. Even with a higher turnout of Democrats Obama seems not to be clicking to well. Two days from now we will know who had the better of the strategies and who will be the one raising their hand and taking an oath. I personally feel that this race is close, with a slight edge toward Obama. High turnout could put PA in the column of John McCain which would be a big victory for me. Don’t forget to Vote.
