Arkady's Thoughts

Wishing everyone a festive and joyous new year and hope you all have a drink for the coming 2010.   I would be lying if I were to say that politically speaking 2009 was a good year.  America has suffered from a massive erosion of freedom, confiscation of more private wealth, expansion of government at both the federal and state level.  Of course none of this is particularly unique to 2009, but the rate in increase is hard to ignore.  From my humble vantage point it would appear that 2010 will be a scary, strange and exciting year.  While it is always difficult to prognosticate, below are several facts that are important to remember. Debt levels are still out of control.  Due to the policy of the Bush/Obama administration virtually no contraction has taken place and we are deeply in debt.  Not only America, but the entire civilized world.  Stocks are inflated.  The current stock market is a manifestation of a liquidity pump engineere...

The day of reckoning is upon us. I am going to take a day off today and go vote right now. I am all nerves today because even due to my stunning prediction these sort of things are beyond anyone's predictive abilities. Still, I have confidence in my analysis and the perception of enough Americans that share my views, fears and realizations about our potential undoing. I suspect - if early turnout is an indication - that the lines will be huge, so if you can vote early, do so. Avoid the after work rush hour. Also, if you are sweating this like I am, try to stay away from the TV. Stick to the internet. The media will pepper you with stupid and useless exit polling data, it will probably depress you to the point of suicide. I will upate this later with reliable sources to gather the data. Also, stay away from the cities tomorrow if this race is close as predicted in my video. If any states are too close to call and/or TheOne wins the popular vote, but loses the election. Lastl...

You betcha!!! My official prediction is as follows: McCain defeats Obama. Senate does not get 60 seats. Media goes crazy. Riots in the streets. Accusations of racism, obviously. People who love America rejoicing as if they have just won the lottery. (they did not, they just saved this country from the worst candidate that has ever appeared in politics) My thoughts in video:

I regard Zogby as one of the best pollsters out there due to his methodology of targeting people who actually VOTE. Rasmussen is pretty good too. This is directly from the horsie's mouth. "Pollster John Zogby: "Is McCain making a move? The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama today, 48% to 47%. He is beginning to cut into Obama's lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all. "Obama's lead among women declined, and it looks like it is occurring because McCain is solidifying the support of conservative women, which is something we saw last time McCain picked up in the polls. If McCain has a good day tomorrow, we will eliminate Obama's good day three days ago, and we could really see some tightening in this rolling average. But for now, hold on." Race tightening? L...
