Two weeks and counting

Senator John McCain has roughly $47 million to spend in October...In an event in Florida yesterday, Senators Obama and Clinton drew over 50,000 to a campaign event...The latest Zogby tracking poll, www.zogby.com, has Obama up by 8 points...Here's a little history lesson. The Washington Post back on 17 October 2004 had Senator John Kerry leading President Bush in a number of key battleground states, including Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania, noting that the Massachusetts Senator was "primed" to win the White House from Bush. Gallup also had the Bush-Kerry race at 51%-42% for Kerry. Bush ended up winning 286-251 in the electoral college...Senator Joe Biden gaffed the other day in Seattle saying that if Obama is elected there will be a major foreign policy challenge within the first six months of an Obama presidency. Foreign leaders will want to test the new president much like they did back in the 1960s when Kennedy was elected. Isn't that the point, Senator Biden? That because Senator Obama lacks foreign and national security experience, he will be tested because the world perceives Obama as weak? As Jeff Scott notes on his webpage, http://www.jeffscottshow.com/, look for a return of the Fairness Doctrine should Obama win the White House and the Democrats increase their majorities in the Congress. You can hear Jeff weekdays from 12:30-3:00 p.m. on WNNG 1350 on your AM dial...Speaking of Congress, it is not far-fetched that the Democrats can pick up nine seats in the Senate giving them 60 in toto and another 20-30 seats in the House. The United States may be in the process of an electoral realignment much like it was in 1860, 1896, 1932, 1968, and 1994. For those of you still unsure of what kind of President Senator Obama will make take at Saul Alinsky's book, "Rules for Radicals". It will give you an idea of the kinds of programs Obama will institute with the support of a left-leaning Congress. You can link here for more info

There are only 14 days until the presidential election. There are 90 days left in the Bush presidency. And, it's been 7 years, 1 month, and 10 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
