The ONLY way Obama can win

By Nathan Donarum - August 20, 2008, 9:24PM

The polls are tightening. John McCain is riding a wave of negativity right to the bank, and Barack Obama's left behind in his cloud of green.

What is Obama going to do? Even before the Conventions and before VPs are nominated, Obama is out in the dust. There is, without a doubt, no chance of recovery. The election is a mere 76 days away. It's already August! As history has proven, if a Democrat is not at least 23.6 points ahead of his opponent in most polls, especially Zogby, he is finished.

It is unfortunate, but by most counts, there is nothing Obama can do. Yet, for those that think such things, there is a daring solution. In fact, the only solution at this dire time.

Obama must enlist the help of his fellow Jedi Knights. As we know, the Force is strong with Obama. This is undeniable. But beat the Dark Side, he must. And do it alone, he cannot. If Obama does not act quickly and call for the help of his fellow Jedi, fail he will.

There is not much more than can be said. One lone Jedi cannot take down an evil empire. If he is alone, fall he will. But with help, fail he will not. Obama's blatant Jedi elitism and go-it-alone attitude can never succeed against the might of the Sith.

So, to Barack Obama, if he's out there reading this: ask the Jedi Council.

And Barack, remember: anger leads to hatred, and hatred leads to the Dark Side. You've seen such happen to your opponent, so don't let it happen to you.

...

You can interpret this however you want. I didn't mean it in any metaphorical sense. I was just bored.

Have you read that McCain LOVED the Star Wars Trilogy? No doubt he thinks the Force is with him. Wonder how Darth Vader felt when he realized he had lost every trace of his Anakin self?

By the way, do you know the original source of that very angry-faced McCain picture that you linked to? I've seen it all over and would love to know what caused him to assume that expression.

I do not. I, too have seen it all over and would also like to know where it's from. If anyone knows, please do tell! =)

If choose he does, Debbie Wasserman Schultz (the Force is VERY strong with her!), then win he will.

But I won't be buying any tickets for a dance party with those little mangy whatchamacallits since choose he will, HILLARY.

If own. he would, all the voting machines. THEN win he will for durn sure!

Just ask Darth George.

"And Barack, remember: anger leads to hatred, and hatred leads to the Dark Side. You've seen such happen to your opponent,..."

Damn, is that scary true about McCain, or what?

Okay a different take on my 'Horton Hears a Who' blog. But one I also resonate with. The truth is it is about us. We don't know what we can do if we all 'do something'.
I purchased a load of Barack Obama buttons from moveon.org and I am going to be working with my daughter to attach them to a business card size note and she is a very social, community type who will hand them out. Still formulating the info to pass on. Currently thinking of 'how to register to vote' how to validate your registration information/voting location. Targeting young people and persuading them to vote... and after today a new reason... McCain will reinstate the draft.

No, no, no... all is well. Life is good. Brilliant campaigning is in full swing. Birds are singing, flowers blooming, cats and dogs live together in harmony. Beautiful people making beautiful love and experiencing deep penetrating multiple orgasms in every city park. Make no adjustment to your set... or your campaign.

Zogby? There is no such creature. Dark forces? Ditto. Light and happiness as far as the minds eye can envision. All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds!

Also, to be interpreted as you see fit. Nothing meant by it at all." ;^}
