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

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/06/27/mccain-predicts-hell-overtake-obama-48-hours-before-the-election/">McCain Predicts He'll Overtake Obama '48 Hours' Before the Election 27 Jun 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.

:grr:

From Citizens For Legitimate Government. Here is the comment by the editor on the site:
LOL! Yup, it should take about 48 hours to program the electronic 'voting' machines for the third GOP coup d'etat, but McCain's handlers aren't going to be too happy with him blatantly shouting it from the rooftops.

1. A comment like that
should be sending alarms through all voter's minds but sadly it won't.

25. Remember it isn't he who cast the vote that counts but he that counts the votes cast.

13. Sheeeeit.
The Democrats won't do a fucking thing about it, either.

I've said all along that this election will be stolen for McCain. It worked twice before, and nobody went after them for it...why the hell wouldn't they do it again?

6. We need to be ready
What if 50 million voters just showed up in DC unannounced? It would make the Brooks Brothers riot in Florida look like the poorly staged political theater it was.

We should spend all our time trying to make the election steal-proof, and I am sure someone is spending some time on contingencies. We all need to have our bags packed and ready to go to DC and bring as many folks with us as we can.

31. I hope and pray that you don't have to experience what I did.
600,000 of my closest allies came to Washington in 2004 and the MSM whores changed it into "tens of thousand". Yeah, sixty tens of thousands. I'm not sure the protest in one spot thing works anymore. In fact, I'm unsure if protesting helps at all.

24. I beleive it DID work in '06.
I am quite certain that we won more seats, but that some of them were stolen. I also believe that we won the ones we got by a much higher margin than the records show.

11. Scalia has already written the legal opinion - for the next selection
Scalia is smiling and dancing a jig at home in his underwear in front of the mirror just thinking about the prospect.

15. This sounds like Karl Rove's "math" in the 2006 election
While it's troubling, their posturing didn't help them last time.

21. They're already pushing the reason for the upset-Hillary voters reluctant to vote
for Obama.

22. One of the two crime families have to win whether it be Dem or the Rep crime family
as long as the presidential candidates remain silent about the counting ANYTHING GOES!

A member of the crime family video, whether he is trying to help us or make us feel like we are getting somewhere in our fight, I really don't know.

What I do know without a doubt the two presidential candidates are trying to get the most votes, but both remain silent about how them votes will be counted???

You tell me.

18. I dread the election...
we need an overwhelming majority. The closer the election the easier it is to steal. Although that may not matter this time. It's not like anyone will be surprised.

23. Doubt he's talking about the DRE
I don't doubt that the last two presidential contests were jacked, there's too much evidence for that but I doubt they'd let McCain in one the plan. More likely, McCain either A) has some major smear in the works or B) is just totally delusional.

28. Big talk from a big loser. He's no underdog. He's sliding downhill fast.
His numbers are never coming back up.

34. Cheney is probably making it in his basement right now. I figured that's where all the
others came from. I have a hard time believing some fugitive in a cave in Pakistan is toting along all his Sony equipment simply to release "new information" at strategic times.

30. This from a guy who doesn't even know how Diebold does the "special counting"?.
Interesting to say the least.

32. Bush has already fooled the repugs twice....
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

Does McCain have an inside track with Diebold?
This is not baseball and we are not giving him, bush or Diebold a third strike.

35. that's a good plan
get the repuke media to tout phony close horse race polls right down to the wire, then get the repuke machines to rig the vote. if it's still too close (meaning Obama leads by anything less than 40 points), mcbush still has 5 scotuses who will appoint him if need be.
