Feeling Discouraged? Don’t, It’s Just What They Want

October 20, 2008 | Jim Vicevich | |

Buck up … buckos. This from a strategist friend of our buddy Jim Geraghty:

“Believe me, there is someone in the Obama campaign who is deathly afraid of the ‘McCain pulls even or goes ahead’ poll.” (And in Gallup, it was within 2 percent.) “That Obama strategist knows how much depends on the whole Chuck Schumer and Rahm Emanuel approach —.work with the media to demoralize conservatives, and keep the perception of a juggernaut going. But a day or two of a few bad polls, and that strategy backfires. The conservatives know they’ve still got a shot at this.”

Read the whole thing … then tell your friends.

    Mmm, yeah. It's a really long shot. fivethirtyeight.com has the electoral math right now at 344-194 Obama. McCain with a 7.5% chance of winning. 0.06% chance of winning if he loses Ohio, a state in which he's down right now.

    Not looking good, but keep your head up, Republicans. Don't give up hope until the 5th. Make sure you vote.
