For Barack Obama the political atmosphere couldn’t be in a better position for his campaign. After eight years of a historically unpopular president the country is more than willing to change things around. When you add that on top of a crumbling economy you have a situation where it is almost impossible for Obama to lose. If Barack Obama can’t pull a win in for the Democratic Party it is a sign that the people of America won’t vote for a socialist no matter how grim our current situation is. The fact that McCain is holding on so well is a testament to the popularity of freedom. Our citizens as a whole will not side with socialism without a fight. A fight we may lose but a battle worth the struggle.

On paper the battle should be a done deal. Barack Obama should be standing tall with at least a ten point lead. The Obama camp knows that their ticket to victory is not by defeating McCain but by defeating his reputation. The big plan is to convince enough Americans that John McCain is another President Bush. Forget about the fact that McCain has always done things his own way. Their job is to convince everyone that McCain is not his own man. This is a tricky maneuver. The Democratic Party and independents were once madly in love with John. Once it became clear that he was going to be their opponent they had to have a quick change of heart. The current liberal machine is out on a mission to completely erase the reputation of a man they would have previously been proud to call one of their own.

But John McCain isn’t successful because he got in line with George Bush. His success is due to the fact he has done the exact opposite over the years. The criticism McCain has been served from conservatives in his party isn’t because he represents Bush. It’s been because his party loyalty has been in question. His willingness to follow along with our values has been brought into question. George Bush is clearly no conservative either but he is nothing like John McCain. John is clearly the worse nightmare of the Democratic Party. Who else could put Pennsylvania in play and tame the messiah? Barack is a superstar–seen as the savior of the world–yet he isn’t running away with this contest without a fight.

John McCain is a Republican, he supports the Iraq War and is socially conservative. If a Democratic strategist was asked to create the best case scenario for their candidate to go up against these traits would be on top of their list. With all of his flaws John McCain still represents the Republican Party in fantastic fashion. But we’re not looking at a contest where we are down and out. We are down in the polls but after all that has happened we shouldn’t even have the slimmest of chances of winning. This tells me that the conservative movement is still alive. Some people in America still believe in the greatness of their country. Some people still believe in the very capitalist system our country was founded on. If Obama loses you can bet things are going to get nasty. More importantly, if Obama loses, it is the only proof you need to know that America is still alive and kicking.
