How can this race even be close? All of the coverage clearly shows Obama speaking to huge crowds of hundreds to thousands (and in Europe, hundreds of thousands) of people. While at the same time McCain speaks to town halls of 50-75 people. I'm not saying one candidate is better than another or one party is better than another. This isn't a question about what their policies and backgrounds are. This isn't a question about the VP picks. The question is: how, when one party clearly has shown and demonstrated a huge support across the country and world (Obama) be in a dead heat with someone who seldom has a crowd bigger than can be found in a Denny's restaurant on a Sunday? Does anyone else believe that their is a government within the government who has clearly taken control and is running the show? Does anyone believe that your vote really matters anymore?
Similarly, in 2004 this happened in the Kerry vs. Bush run for President. Although both were horrible choices, the fix became obvious over the florida election scandal. Bush was and is not a speaker. How could he have won a debate against Kerry (a guy who speaks too much).
The questions I pose is one of: Have the American Elections been fixed and rigged? Who is rigging these elections? What is the goal or incentive for them to be fixed? What will happen to America if they continue to be fixed?
