“Closing arguments” are aimed to woo “undecided” voters, no?
Is it even plausible that anyone that voted for McCain in the last cycle that suddenly finds the prospect of voting for Obama this time a 50/50 proposition?
I suspect “undecided voters”, as the pundits refer to, are in fact waffling Obama voters.
Point very well made. I suspect that, in part, “waffling Obama voters” might be willing to switch, but don’t know how to handle the guilt of doing so. After all, their original vote in 2008 was probably done with a great deal of pride and conviction. I think that this has not been adequately addressed by the opposition movement to Obama.
Alright everyone the morrow comes. Let’s go get these guys. It’ll be a landslide. Then we must buckle down and repeal acts, replace people, and reduce beauracracy. A deaf ear to the howls must be maintained. The media burned down what credit and power they had anyway so into the breach!
The parallels of this election to the pre-Civil War election of Lincoln are frightening. The politics at that time were just as reprehensible as the politics of today. I do not see literal bloodshed in the coming years, but there will be figurative bloodshed, and the Tea Party and those who believe in our Founders’ vision of the Constitution need to understand this and be prepared to fight. This “war” we are engaged in has only just begun. The Tea Party is not a standing army, for just like the Civil War, it is militias which need to stand up, volunteer, and fight. The true abolutionists in this country are the Tea Party. The true believers in our Constitution are the Tea Party. I’ve been an Independent my entire voting lifetime. However, I recocgnize that there is a huge fight ahead, and tonight have decided to join the Tea Party. Even if you do not join them, support them. There will be lots of figurative “casualties” in this war, but sometimes this is the price of freedom. I faught in Nam, and by God I am willing to take on this fight.
My bad: I meant to say the American Revolution army was militias. However, it is noted that the Union and Confederate Armies were comprised principally of draftees and volunteers associated with State militias.

What They Are Saying About Me
"Someone with credibility is saying these things and trying to do something. Thank you."
"'Obtuse' is just about the nicest thing I could say about Jacobson. The problem with being too steeped in any profession is that you run the risk of no longer understanding the difference between reality and your profession's most obscure minutiae."
"I just wanted to thank you for writing such a great article on your reasons why you voted for John McCain. I wish everyone would have read that article."
"Jacobson is doing only what other McCain supporters are starting to do, produce these worthless pieces from some narrow perch in order to cover up their own racist bigotry"
"Cornell and the country need more educators like yourself to keep the flag of reason flying."
“I take it Jacobson teaches at the cow college part of Cornell, and not the elite section where Coulter attended.”
"Thank you for speaking out... and I hope you avoid repercussions in 'The People's Republic of Ithaca.'"

I should have added Nancy Pelosi alongside Gloria Allred in my reply to Ragspierre on the Biden calling opponents liars piece below.
