Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes.... [View All]

Calm down folks. Sooner or later, the polls were going to change. Polls are psychological instruments, that can be used to encourage or discourage people from going to the polls.

Polls that show John McCain in the lead could have an opposite reaction amongst the voters. Since 80% of the people in a recent "poll" said that America was on the wrong track, how could it be that so many now think John McCain is the best person to put us back on the right track?

Obviously, there is a disconnect with these polls. However, when some people start to realize that John McCain may be the next President and that we are in store for more of the same and worse, then there will certainly be some second thoughts. Count on it.

Of course, partisanship is a strong indicator in a political race. The Republicans are riding a "partisanship" high after their convention and the nomination of Sarah Palin. But, fortunately, there is still time for voters to contemplate the future and my bet is that they will not gamble with four more years of the same.

But Obama will have to shoot down the "change" theme that McCain has put forth. He must convince the voters that if they want more of the same, they should vote for John McCain. Obama realizes that and is attacking McCain on the absurdity of his "change" theme.
