T-5

Only 5 days before the US election and I've just donated another $50 to the Obama campaign.  So far, I have invested $250 in this campaign.

I hold no illusions that the McCain campaign could somehow pull this out in the last few days.  They are throwing up 5 to 10 attacks per day, trying to figure out what will stick.  They have some compelling arguments about Barack's past associations, however it's clear that most of these are based on fabrications or weak evidence.

It's clear that 20% of our population are Bush followers, another 20% cannot vote for Barack (for whatever reason), 10% are on the fence (independents), 10% have committed to Barack (as conservatives or indepedents), and 40% are firmly in Barack's camp.

It's the 10% on the fence that we're waiting to see how they'll vote.  Bottom line, Obama has to win a small percentage of their vote to win the presidency.  We'll see how this plays out.  Obviously the election is won state-by-state.
