Closing arguments - snatching victory from the jaws of defeat
In this article, Roger Kimball does an excellent job of enumerating the reasons for a.) voting for McCain and Palin and b.) a McCain-Palin victory tomorrow.
Nevertheless, I continue to think McCain can pull victory from the jaws of defeat. Why? Not because of any complex statistical alchemy but for the simple old fashioned reason that I do not believe the instinct for self-preservation has been entirely bred out of the American electorate.
This election, at the national level, is about preservation: of the self, of capital, of jobs, of life, of liberty and of the America the founders established. The first and second amendments are under fire, the Freedom of Choice act is a serious issue yet is not being debated and, as has been documented in this blog and elsewhere, the simple criminality of the Obama fundraising and Acorn voter registration/railroading is beyond appalling.
Please read Kimball's article in full and follow the links to the documented work behind his (and my) point of view.
UPDATE: More closing arguments from Thomas Sowell and from Powerline.
Sowell:
The kind of self-righteous self-confidence that has become Obama's trademark is usually found in sophomores in Ivy League colleges-- very bright and articulate students, utterly untempered by experience in the real world.
Powerline:
McCain, however, also harks back to JFK - the JFK who represented a generation "tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage - and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world."
Go read 'em both.
