I don't want to make a pre-emptive claim at an Obama victory, but I believe this election will be historic either way. The historic implications of an Obama victory are obvious- the country's first black president. But the historic implications of a McCain victory??
It would be perhaps the biggest and most improbable comback in US Election history- at least in the last 70 so years.
The fact is, at this point, Obama has pretty much every possible structural advantage. The national polls: Obama has had a statistically significant lead for several weeks now. While his lead has fluctuated between 6 and 11 points, it has still been significant. WIth only two weeks left in this election, overcoming this deficit is not an easy task for McCain.
But it's actually the Electoral College that matters. For the sake of comparison, let's start with the 2004 map. It was actually closer than people might think.... if Obama won only every Kerry state, he would have 252 electoral votes (needing 270 to win, 269 to tie). It now seems extremely likely that Obama WILL win every Kerry State. In fact, as far as I know, McCain has actually conceded these states- except perhaps Pennsylvania and MAYBE New Hampshire. I'll talk about those later, but let's assume now, for the sake of discussion, that Obama wins.
It also seems exceedingly likely that Iowa and New Mexico will go for Obama, which pushes Obama to 264. This means that Obama, in effect, only has to win one of the following "red states" now considered as toss ups: Colorado, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. ALSO, winning only Nevada would mean a tie, which, given the current structure of the Legislative Branch, would likely be an Obama victory. In other words, McCain would have to win all 8 of these states in order to win the election. Indiana he should win. Ohio, Missouri, Nevada, and Florida might very well go for McCain as well. North Carolina is trending Democrat, but I still have a hard time seeing it vote for Obama, so lets give it to McCain anyway. That leaves us with Colorado and Virginia; in both states, polls show a 5-8 pt Obama lead- quite tough for McCain to win.
The only other possibility? Assuming that McCain wins all the states above EXCEPT for Colorado and Virginia.... in this case, he needs to win Pennsylvania- which will be tough given his current double-digit deficit, but apparantly he's going all out there. Winning NH, would give him leeway in Nevada, but this is an unlikely scenario.
In short, structurally speaking, there are only two ways in which McCain can feasibly win: either he wins all of: Ohio, Missouri, Nevada, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Colorado AND Virginia, OR he wins Ohio, Missouri, Nevada, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina AND Pennsylvania.
Even if these scenarios seem feasible, Obama has a few more advantages. Firstly, continued wall street volitility only helps Obama. Secondly, Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama is a pretty big blow to McCain's campaign. Thirdly, what is rarely talked about, Obama's campaign has a lot more money and can simply outcampaign the McCain people. Obama is even hoping to buy primetime airspace the week before the election! McCain, with limited resources, must scramble. He's also forced to campaign in states he earlier thought he would win, while conceding important blue states (eg, Michigan).
Not to say it's impossible for McCain... it just would be a remarkable turnaround. And with only two weeks left, something BIG has gotta happen.

Updated Thoughts on US Elections: Why Republicans are sinking lower, and why this is helping Obama
The following things have been heard at Palin and McCain rallies in the past week: "[Obama is a] terrorist!" "Treason!" "Off with his head" "Kill him!" i"m not making this stuff up. Read this http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/08/more-hatred-at-rallies-of_n_133115.html, or you-tube it.
There are a few things that are striking about this. Most obviously, is the pure passion and hatred associated with this election. This goes back to a point I made in my prior entry, namely, how the US is in the midst of a culture war that very well could turn voilent. These comments have pure signs of hatred.... not polite disagreement... HATRED. It may or not be racially motivated, but even if it isn't, this is beyond disturbing. Even if you don't agree with his values of political positions, there is no reason to HATE Barack Obama. Obama, like McCain, is a normal human being, who has served his country. Obama is a loving husband and father. How anyone could say such hateful things about ANYONE is beyond me.
What's even more disturbing is the Republican response to this. At best, they've done nothing. Neither McCain nor Palin have publically condemned this. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they didn't hear these shouts when they happened. It must be loud on stage, and someone like McCain has got to have a bit of difficulty hearing. But that doesn't mean they're unaware that these things were happened, given all the you-tube & CNN time they've received. Many Americans know about it, so surely they should as well. Obama certainly knows about it. Assuming they know about it, then they should PUBLICALLY CONDEMN this behaviour. They should run an ad, similar to the positive one they ran on the last day of the DNC, which shows that McCain respects and honours, but disagrees with Obama. This is a civil election, not an all out war, and it disgusts me. In my eyes, unless McCain publically condemns these horrible outcries, he has lost his honour. Paradoxically, some Republicans are blaming OBAMA for this: http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/10/1529529.aspx. I'll dismiss that as absolute insanity.
The silver lining in this? Obama's response. Many candidates would be quite shaken by the things being said about him. What does Obama say? He says that he can handle one month of "character assasination", but Americans can't handle 4 years of more negativity. Obama has not blatantly backlashed against McCain. Yes, I'm not going to deny that there has been some negativity in the Obama campaign, but as I said in an earlier entry, nothing of this level. Obama ties McCain to Bush quite often, and he substantiates it with the fact that McCain really hasn't lined out a concrete policy difference from Bush, besides perhaps the minimal issue of "earmark spending". So in this sense, Obama's attack is valid. McCain being out of touch with the economy? Pretty valid when until just recently McCain didn't think the economy was much of an issue, and even now they are trying to turn the page on the economy, despite the fact that in the last week alone, Wall Street has lost about 25% of its wealth. So, I'd say Obama is very justified in this attack. Perhaps the worst attack on McCain is a jab at his honour, and the claim that he's erratic. This too is substantiated with recent events. How can McCain be honourbale when he launches blatantly false ads claiming Obama supports "comprehensive sex eduation for kindergartners" or that Obama "palls around with terrorists". This coming from a man who claimed he would take the "high road". So much for that. Erratic? How about the whole campaign suspension fiasco.... the contempt for Obama at the debates... the not-bringing-up Jeremiah Write, then bringing him up.... &c. &c. &c.
How does OBama respond to all this? He's cool, collected... in a word, presidential. Perhaps he has no "official" "executive" experience, but look at the campaign he's ran! In the face of adversity and viscious character assasination, perhaps worse than he'll ever receive as president, Obama has run a successful and reasonably clean campaign. Obama himself has been consistent and smooth. He clearly has respect for McCain. Even his body language in the debate, compared to McCain. He feels comfortable in his own skin. After all, you don't hear "kill him!" at Democratic rallies.
All of this has only hurt McCain. His polls have gone down drastically; Gallup has him consistently down by double digits on the national poll; CNN's current map shows that Obama needs to win only ONE of seven toss-up states, including states in which he's currently leading, such as Virginia, Nevada, Colorodo, and even Florida! And he only needs ONE of those!
Only one of three things could deliver a McCain victory.... (emphasis the word COULD). Firstly is a clear rout in the final debate. Given the previous debates this is quite unlikely. Obama is out-McCaining McCain in the debates, and I don't see anything more than a draw happening. Secondly is another 9-11 like attack, but with less than 4 weeks left this simply seems unlikely (although its possible that the Republicans would engineer one just to win the election- at this point, i would not put it beneath them). Thirdly, is the race issue. Are people lying to the polls becauuse they are ashamed to admit they would not vote for a black person? I would be surprised and utterly disappointed if this were the case. If nothing major happens in the next 4 weeks, and McCain wins, its quite possible this is the reason. In that case, it would be a national travesty worthy of lament. Not so much a McCain presidency, but the affirmation of the fact that the US has not yet emerged from its racist past. But, given that Obama was able to win the primaries against a very worthy and formidable opponent, I'd like to this this is unlikely.
Even if these things happen, a McCain victory just seems almost inconceivable now. The fact is... and what both candidates realise.... "it's the economy, stupid". Especially right now, and it won't change in less than 4 weeks, the US is in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. McCain is by no means an economic stalwart and does little to inspite people of his expertise and ability to revive the economy. And, whether this is fair or not, his association with the republican party that has been in power for 8 years is hurting him. This is not necessarily true, but Bush and the Republicans are seen as the cause of the current crisis... and the Dems are quite smart for pointing this out. Of course, Obama doesn't strike anyone as the economic specialist either, but ONLY by virtue of his association with the alternate party can he legitimately effect his message of change. Change, when the economy is in a spiral unseen in our lifetimes, is what people want. The fact is, in a volatile time like now, people will vote with their wallot, not based on obscure scandals.

Why I believe the US may be on the brink of collapse
The US has seen its share of hard times. I think of the Civil War, when the country was torn apart at the seems. I think of the Stock Market Crash and the ensuing great depression, when unemployement was at 25% and many Americans lost their savings. I think of WWII and the constant threat of attack on US Soil. And I think of the Vietnam war- an internationally unpopular war which drained American military and financial resources.
My friends, regardless of who wins the November election (and you all know my biases), the US is showing ALL of these signs, and as far as I know, this is unprecedented.
Like in the years prior to the civil war, the US is undergoing a regionalistic culture war. In 2004, we all saw the Red State- Blue State map, and had a few laughs over it, but it has only gotten worse. Not since the Civil war has this country been so culturally polarised, to the point where there appears to be little room for compromise. We have people on the left who say they will move to Canada if the Republicans win, and people on the right who find the concept of supporting a liberal to be heretic. This is unsustainable. The closest in history we have ever come to this is in the 1850s, when people in two different parts of the country had fundamental differences as to the ideology and the future of the United States. And taht culminated in the bloodiest war in the country's history. Now, I don't believe the US is on the brink of physical civil war, but it is looking more and more like there may be a complete cultural meltdown.
Secondly, Wall Street is crumpling in a way we have rarely seen since the 20s and 30s. In fact, most experts would agree that we are in the worst econominc crisis since then. Despite the passing of a 700$ Billion "bailout", the markets are down massively today. Many people consider a depression "likely".
Thirdly, we face the constant (perceived) threat of attack on US Soil. Only twice since the early 20th century has the US been attacked in a major way: in 1941, and in 2001. After both cases, the US entered a war, and continued to face the possible threat of an attack. To this day, the individiausl who perpetrated the 2001 attacks are still present, and the threat of terrorist action still exists.
Fourthly, the US continues to be involved in a war which is tapping away militaristic and financail resources- a war which has (or had originally) little or no relevance to any real threat to the US.
Basically, if we consider these four things, the US is, right now, reliving 4 of its worst crises... simultaneously. This gives me reason to be scared.
The only thing I can conclude? I don't even know why Obama and McCain want to be president anymore. Whoever wins the election will inherit a giant mess, from which we may not emerge-or at the very least, we will surely not emerge unscathed.

Republicans = Desperate?????
I never thought it would get this bad.
It started in late July with the "Paris Hilton" commerical, which branded Barack Obama as a mere "celebrity". That was pretty low, but the Democrats could laught it off.
Then, at the RNC in early September, Sarah Palin took a jab at Obama's experience as a community organiser, applying firstly that this is the totality of this experience, and secondly that community organisers lack "actual responsibilities". This remark in itself was offensive, but I think is more reflective of Palin's ignorance than anything. It's clear that she doesn't appreciate inner city poverty which is actualy one of the biggest domestic problems in the US. So that she made such an offensive remark- I could dismiss it as ignorance on her part.
Then, in mid-September, the Repubicans launched a pair of ads that I posted in my last entry- one of which called Obama sexist, and the other one claiming he supported sex education for kindergartners. I think at this point it was clear that the Republicans were becoming desperate. I would call these ads "disgusting" and "inexcusable".
But maybe it was just a gaffe? Truly John McCain, as much honour as he seems to have, couldn't genuinely approve of these ads? Maybe the advertising campaign manager was acting out of line, and the campaign fired him?
But, it's not that simple. Just within the pat few days, Sarah Palin accused Barack Obama of fraternising with terrorists. Buzz-word: terrorist. In effect, she called Obama a terrorist. In present-day American society, that is about the worst, most offensive thing you could call someone. She might as well have called Obama a (n-word). See the story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7653132.stm.
My question is this: why is this accepted? This is absolutely innapropriate campaigning. Yes, the Democrats have commited their share of negative campaigning, but none of this type. I have not heard the Obama people call McCain sexist, or in fact anything short of a hero. And certainly, Obama/Biden themselves speak with McCain (and Palin) with great respect; admittedly, they may make untrue statements about their policies, but I have not seen an outright attack on their personality (There are two exceptions. One ad attacked McCain for having 7 houses. I believe this is valid, however, because it demonstrates that he is out of touch with the economic suffering of the American people- he doesn't even know how many houses he has. The second is an attack on McCain's honour, but this ad was aired ONLY in response to the sexist/sex-ed duo).
But Sarah Palin called Obama a terrorist!!!! There is absolutely no basis for this claim, and it is, in my opinion, utterly utterly offensive. There should be a public outry- by everyone. The Obama campaign should rip this to shreds- they should say that this type of campaigning is simply unacceptable and they should demand an apology from Sarah Palin. All they say is that it was "offensive" and "unsurprising": http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/05/palin.obama.terrorist.claim/index.html. Not that this isn't true, but, as I just said, this is UNACCEPTABLE, and the Democrats SHOULD NOT ACCEPT IT.
Further, I think that Republicans should condemn this. I'd like to think that Republicans are decent, compassionate human beings. But this is an outright lie. What are the facts? Some guy was part of a radical group in the 60s that plotted to bomb the Pentagon, in protest of the US's role in Vietnam. Obama served on the same charity board as this man in the 90s. Obama has publically condemned the acts, does not maintain a strong relationship with him, and most of all, he was eight years old during the man's "terrorist" actions. It is an untrue stretch to say that Obama is a terrorist. Republicans, who pride themselves as "compassionate conservatives" are acting like anything but. I'd like to see how any Republican could justify this.
I really hope that mainstream Americans aren't dumb enough to be swayed by this. Please: anyone who thinks that Republican campaigning has been anything but disgusting and dishonest, please comment on this blog, and justify your position. Furthermore, anyone who thinks that Sarah Palin is in ANY WAY qualified to serve as presidetn, please commet on this blog and justify your position. I really want to hear what you have to say, becuase i simply cannot understand how ANYONE could genuinely believe these things.
