Speculation vs. Realism

In Election '08 on June 16, 2008 at 2:53 am

Obama is running for Carter’s second term; McCain is running for Bush’s third term; These have been the most recent buzzwords from the pundits.  The truth is, no one knows what will happen next?  This whole election has been entirely arbitrary.

Not even a year ago, people were calling for John McCain to drop out because of campaign scandals, insufficient funds (which still appears to be a problem), and a lack of base party support (also a problem).  Also, less than a year ago Hillary had won the Democratic nomination and there was no possiblility that anyone else had a chance of beating her.  Who was Obama a year ago anyway?  Just some junior senator from Illinois, HELLOOOOOOOOOO!

We all saw that punditry, speculation, poll numbers, along with everything else the media feeds us didn’t come true, so it’s safe to say that THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION IS UNKNOWN!
