One day to go and America will be transformed

11/2/2008

A last few desperate attempts by McCain/Palin, but iacta alea est. All the hard work has been done by the candidates and now it is in the hands of the voters. Are the polls wrong? Have people been lying to pollsters? Is race going to be a dedciding factor? Has McCain/Palin last ditch desperate and vicious ads. about his name, his religion, his past associations, his aunt, his " socialism ", all the lies and distortions, have they made a difference enough to close the gap. Will there be a ' Bradley ' effect? No, No, No!!!!

Obama will win and America will be the better for it. 70%+ in Europe and elSEwhere in the world are waiting for a new Amereica leadership, militarily, economically and politically. The stakes are very high but the people, with the exception of the religious fundamentalists and the haters will prevail....vox populi, vox dei.

Yes Hannah, the die is cast, and Obama is going to win in a cakewalk. Brtish bookies have it 1-7 in his favour and they are rarely wrong.
