My Thoughts on November
Alright. I think this November should be interesting. I think both candidates are great. I also think both have large appeal to independent voters and voters of the other party. So I’m curious to see what happens.
Right now, it seems like people are kind of down on McCain’s chances of winning this election. I have to say I don’t really agree with that, for one simple reason. Yes, he has a smaller campaign. Yes, he’s running from the same party as an unpopular incumbent president. BUT, so far, this election cycle has been all about the underdog. Both McCain and Obama were the underdogs in their parties’ respective primaries. Nobody thought in January that either one was a serious candidate, much less going to wind up nominated.
Several polls were just way off this year. I think it’s a year of unpredictability. I think underdogs did well in the primaries, and there’s a chance that the underdog will pull through in the General as well.

First, Zach I want to thank you for such a thorough comment on my blog…. I was a bit floored by the length and breadth of it. Wow!
To your blog, McCain has a shot of course but I just want to see people actually vote. Could you yo imagine if people participated in elections the way they do for American Idol? That’d be a proud day for me!
..Honestly, WTF are the cable news networks going to talk about after November? This election has had a bigger build up than Armageddon!
Thanks for the link!
