Arkady's Thoughts

I have put them in a video. Why not, right? Short and sweet.

I will make a reaction video tomorrow, but I have a few thoughts. First of all, whether you want to call this a landslide or not - the win is very impressive. Clearly America has decided that they had enough and they came out in droves. I am certainly dissapointed, but the reasons for that are not important not now. I have spent enough time pointing out the dangers and at this point, it is too late for such rhetoric. I am truly happy for those ardent supporters who are celebrating today and probably will be for some quite time. They wanted change and they got it and let us hope that we as America can move forward and truly become stronger and more united. With a small exception I believe the majority of the people truly want what is best for this country. For your sake and ours, let us hope that you get everything that you believe Obama has the potential to deliver. For now, I will be humble. I was wrong in my predictions. For the time being let the people enjoy the euphoria....

That topic pretty much speaks for itself - they are garbage, notoriously wrong and sample a weighted group. But, they are amusing to watch and if you feel like jerking yourself around - then go ahead. I have no way of knowing how long you have to wait to even discover the answer, but unless it is razor thing I expect 1-2am at the earliest.

Sounds like Obama's ardent supporters the New Black Panther Party that I have mentioned in my video a long time ago, have come out to help. Apparently they are in the business of voter intimidation. Check out the video, rather disgusting: This is what I would love to happen. I am sticking by my prediction, but I think it is possible that McCain loses the popular vote. I WOULD LOVE THAT. It would send the legion of Obamacolytes into an utter frenzy. It will be fantastic.

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:

Deemed too damaging I assume? This has been a historic campaign and not because of the candidates, but because journalism died. How can CNN justify not playing the tape to the American people? They do not even have to write an opinion on the matter, let the people decide. This is just one tiny example in the liberal bias of CNN - and yet I have met so many people who defend this "news" station. I have also seen a lot of comments from the Obamacolytes and the level of argument is bordering infantile. Their main arguments: 1) This story has been out for a long time, it has been on the SF Chronicle website for months. 2) McCain also supports carbon caps. Who the hell cares if the tape was on the SF Chronicle page? WHO GIVES A SHIT!? Did the national media know it? No? Then it was suppressed, because this is vital. The entire country knew Joe the Plumber did not pay his taxes, yet one day before the election no one knows of Obama's plans to bankrupt an entire industry...
