What is McCain planning? I don't like the sound of this!

McCain Predicts He’ll Overtake Obama ‘48 Hours' Before the Election

by FOXNews.com
Friday, June 27, 2008

John McCain predicted the general election race would come down to the buzzer Friday, declaring himself the underdog but quipping that he’d ride to victory in the last “48 hours.”

The comment came as new polls show Barack Obama leading nationally and in several key swing states.

McCain may be hoping to reprise his nomination fight, in which he revived his flailing campaign just as primaries began.

“I’m the underdog. I’m behind,” the presumptive GOP nominee told reporters in Ohio. “I’ve got to catch up and get ahead and I expect to do that about 48 hours before the general election.”

1. Uh, John ...

:rofl:

[redstate_democrat]

2. That sounds very suspicious

[peacebird]

8. sounds like something ominous will happen around Halloween....

:hide:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

32. The famous and allusive October surprise

I predict W will attack Iran in late September.

Quit hiding behind that rock! :rofl:

[Labors of Hercules]

9. no shit.

fucking bastard crooks plan to steal another one. All I have to say is, if they succeed, I'm going postal.

[harun]

10. A VERY odd thing to say and not good. Republicans counting on getting people

to vote for them only 2 days before the election and the rest of the time their approval is about 30% is not a healthy state of affairs for this country, or Democracy.

[rzemanfl]

3. Stock up on emergency supplies for the end of October folks.

He is either ineffably stupid or let something slip (probably both).

[MarjorieG]

4. Knows something about an October/November surprise?

[lumberjack_jeff]

5. "So set an alarm. In the meantime, I'm taking a nap." n/t

[Thrill]

6. The old man has given away their plan. To air a nasty hateful ad a couple days before the election

Obama would be wise to save a chunk of money to fight back against it

[harun]

14. I think this is why he opted out of public financing and why McCain was

so pissed about it. Obama having about a hundred million to throw at adds in the last phase of the campaign may be needed to fight the media full court press they will put on to try and get McCain in there.

[haele]

7. errr, how?

A "November Suprise?"

72 hours before the election, there will be either a catasrophic terrorist attack on a "blue" state that Obama is visiting at the time, or Isreal will bomb Iran? That's where McCain thinks "his strength" is, after all...

Between, say, the middle of August up to the night before the election, We (anyone not voting for McCain already) had best keep an eye out for shenannigans.

11. I think he was saying he'll tape "48 Hours" before the election. He wants to watch Eddie Murphy so

he can understand what AA people are like.

[singilarpoint]

Diebold

If I were him, and I knew the game was fixed. I'd be saying the same thing.

[kitfalbo]

12. DieBold

Victory at any cost!

Faked polls + Diebold = McCain win

[papapi]

15. My thoughts exactly.

[Apollo11]

31. You said it

It worked out real well for them back in 2000 and 2004.

If you are the GOP - why take the risk of holding a fair election?

[anonymous171]

13. Looks like Osama will make another appearance. nt

[kiranon]

16. And lose it when the error is corrected.

[Rebellious Republican]

17. Yep, I am sure it be will close to the end, Obama showing a slight ..

lead, then all of a sudden the polls start swinging in favor of McCain. Wow, what a miraculous come back, just like 2000. Except this time they have had time to perfect the theft, hopefully there won't be any nasty glitch's like the last to times! :sarcasm:

[JuniperLea]

18. What an odd thing to say...

What the heck?

[tedoll78]

19. Okay.. this made me sick in the pit of my stomach.

Does he have dirt on Obama?

[Median Democrat]

24. Silly!

You don't even need dirt. Remember Stolen Honor? Just get a bunch of folks to lie their a*& off, and suddenly Kerry sounds like a coward, and Bush and Cheney are heroes. Remember the "Terrorist Fist Jab!" Why bother searching for "dirt," when you have much more freedom and creativity making stuff up.

[natrat]

20. remember, "exit polls don't mean anything"

[Median Democrat]

21. Another New Disney (ABC) Docudrama Called ...

Barack Obama - American Mulah - Wielder of the Terrorist Fist Jab?

The docudrama will be shown a few days before the election in the proud tradition of other Disney (ABC) docudramas such as "Stolen Honor" before the 2004 election, which bashed John Kerry, and "Path to 9/11," which was the anti-Hillary smear, which was shown before the 2006 election.

Well, now that McCain let the cat out of the bag, I guess ABC will broadcast its yet to be developed smear movie 72 hours before the election.

[papapi]

22. What's he going to do? Have Sindy release the flying monkeys?

[terrya]

23. This is from Fox News

Pardon me if I don't start trembling with fear.

[Apollo11]

29. They pulled Bush-Cheney over the finish line in 2000

So let's not misunderestimate them ...

[smoogatz]

25. It's creepy all right, but most likely he's talking out of his ass.

But it could be that ya'll are right, and he let something slip. A little like Bush saying he knew he'd win Florida before the 2000 election.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

26. Jesus, John, we know you're going to pull something

But do you have to be so BLATANT about admitting it in advance? :eyes:

[opihimoimoi]

27. ATTACK ATTACK or BLUFF BLUFF....FEAR CARD FEAR CARD....

Are we a Nation of WIMPs or WHAT?????

They still using the Fear Card???.....They gonna regret ittttttttt.......

[briv1016]

28. There just trying to make themselves look viable till the very end.

Bad polls mean few donations.

[rucky]

30. I accuse him of conspiring.

What are the Republicans up to? McCain Knows something.

Let the whisper campaign begin.

[chapel hill dem]

33. He is just trying to give his supporters some hope in the face of lousy polling numbers.

Otherwise, they will close their checkbooks in mid-September.
FWIW

[WeDidIt]

34. The bombing of Iran must be slated to commence the morning of

November 2nd.

[slinkerwink]

35. there you go!

[NatBurner]

36. basically
