As a political news junkie, I've recently been mulling over the national poll numbers. As expected, Obama received a bump in his numbers as he clinched the nomination and Hillary endorsed him. The recent number put him around 6% ahead of John McCain with the vast majority of voters wishing a Democrat to take the White House in November.
I think Obama has a great chance of winning. But nightmare scenarios are beginning to haunt me at night. Briefly skimming over state polls and electoral maps, it seems like Obama could trounce McCain in the national vote while still losing by a slim margin in the electoral college.
I hope that this isn't true. A part of me deeply believes that a John McCain presidency will spell the end of American greatness and quite possibly the end of the world. I don't even dislike John McCain that much (for being an egomaniac who I completely disagree with on a ton of issues outside the realm of campaign finance reform). I just have this feeling that unless the U.S. experiences a significant change in domestic and foreign policy, America will hasten into decline.
Please America, don't let a few states hijack the election (gosh, I sound like a Hillary surrogate). America needs Obama more than we know.
