The solitude of the ballot booth

This election has so many parallels in past elections it is truly an election of a lifetime.

The 1980 Jimmy Carter vs. Ronald Reagan was called for Carter up until the final debate after which RWR poll numbers just reversed the Peanut-guy (sorry, I truly believe that Carter should be tried for treason due to his comments about the US overseas - disgusting for an ex-President) advantage, and RWR won the 1980 election in a landslide (489 vs 44 EC, 51%-41% popular, 43 - 7 states).

I don't think that this will be the case for McCain assuming that BHO can silence his own internal detractors, but I believe that the only way McCain will win is if in the "solitude of voting booth" those that say they were going to vote for BHO outside or in polls, just can't make themselves pull the lever for the first black President with extreme socialist beliefs.

In the end, I believe that America is so confused and angry that they are willing to take a chance with BHO that they will go for him like my generation took a chance with JFK in 1960; however, the big difference is that JFK represented cultural change not constitutional changes.

I have no problem with BHO being elected President since I can out think and out maneuver any politician when it comes to my income being "shared" that it will not impact me or other smart people, but for those that don't study history, they will repeat the events of Clinton's election in 1992.
