Remember New Hampshire
By NewHampster on October 17, 2008 at 7:55 PM in Barack Obama, David Axelrod, Electoral College
Over at my place Partizane, we have a discussion going on the polls and the internal polls. Here is my cross post on what I feel is happening.
Obama was in my town of 25,000 yesterday begging for our lousy 4 electoral votes.
Tonight he’s having another Springsteen fund raiser in NYC because he needs dough.
This thing is close and as BHO said today, “Remember New Hampshire”. This ain’t the Bradley effect scaring the crap out of team Obama, it’s the Palin effect, the NH effect, Hillary’s “Invisibles” effect. I honestly believe that David Axelrod is seeing his worse nightmare. A repeat of the surprise finish my state gave to Hillary.
The number of undecideds are twice as high as at this point in 2004 and that does not include the Invisibles. Those who rarely or never voted before, those who may be at the lower end of our society, those who for once in their lives have the chance to vote for someone who has had their baby, someone who has struggled with children and a career. A woman like them who speaks like them and quite frankly enjoys life like they do.
Those people are never ever polled. The waitress working 6 nights to feed her own 5 kids. The women who make your bed at the Holiday Inn then go home to make dinner for their laborer husband and cute batch of kids. That woman with the tattoos riding the Harley last weekend. The Vegas strippers I “interviewed” last fall before the primary, the ones who had all registered to vote for the first time in their lives so they could vote for a woman.
The Invisibles will be the force that says no more. No more abuse Mr. Obama because we’re voting for the woman who truly does feel our pain.
Sarah Palin will win this campaign with a huge double finger to the pollsters.
