What If...McCain is POTUS

Telegraph: If your political junkie read this article, it asks the most powerful question in the English Language, What If, in this context what if McCain's wins. The article states the following, " And yet – If it's all over bar the voting, then why is no one acting like it's over? More to the point, why are Democrats so nervous? " Its kind of article that is you will find the UK and USA broadsheets. They all ask the same question, is there a Bradley Effect, African American Candidates who poll well but when the voters get to vote in secret they vote for the white guy. This blog has has linked to few articles on the subject. There is an interesting Gallup Poll, Gallup has three different versions with different methodology, here is the Traditional one of Likely Voters. Obama 49% - McCain 47%. This Poll was one before the Debate and Joe the Plumber. This blog has argued that this race is over, even with these polls showing a close race it can be argued that Obama will win, the Great Depression of 2008 has helped Obama. It can also be postulated that it will be a long night, not like 2000 but long, still expect a President - Elect Obama, but it wont be a cake walk for Obama.
