Why is the election such a dead heat?

Question

I don't understand it. I thought that the Americans today are just sick of the conservative, republican Bush and just need the change that Barack Obama promises voters today. Has McCain really done such a great job of distancing himself from George W?

Answer 1

it aint a dead heat no longer, sarah is soaring.

Answer 2

I have no arguements with Obama's ability to give great speeches. He only has one problem: he has no experience. Noone knows what his changes are (unless you are a true republican). Therefore, people have begun to see that McCain isn't GW and that he has worked with both sides of the aisle and realize this man is genuine.

Answer 3

I think the appointment of Ms Palin will push any undecided centrists towards Obama.  Obviously uneducated, bigots like Crazed D will still vote for McCain regardless (because he thinks Obama is muslim - which a) isn't true b) religion isn't a reason to choose a leader ).

Answer 4

Its shouldnt be close after what the GOP has done over the past 8 years

the only explaination is the right wing propaganda network of tv and radio stations that blame the left for all the woes of society, and character assasination

Answer 5

No, he has not distanced himself at all.  But I think that is what he got Sarah Palin for.  And it seems that a lot of Republicans are sticking to their guns no matter how messed up Bush has made this country.

Well, all I have to say is, when we're paying 7.46 for gas and nobody can afford their health insurance; not to mention having another 2500 dead in Iraq, they might think differently.  By then, of course, we'll be halfway to h**l.

Answer 6

It isn't a "dead heat". McCain is far ahead of Obama. The leftist media only wants you to think it's close.
