Not much use deciding you won’t wade across when you’re already up to your chin…
But that’s the way the ball bounces. I’m not declaring victory – just yet – but observing deep waters often run swiftly with power, especially when they’ve been compressed or directed in a narrow canyon.
The campaign propaganda machine of the Democrat party is a powerful tool – which they’ve learned to use quite well. Too well I believe. For with it comes the dangers of overconfidence – or even more troublesome ‘over reaching.’ Predicting election outcomes I’ve found to be a chancy proposition where I’m concerned. I usually get in too deep and ‘find what I’m looking for.’ Which means I think my candidate is going to win because I’ve not examined the early signs un-emotionally. I found that out with great disappointment when in my first campaign – my candidate lost. He only carried five states out of the fifty…
Fortunately an even more misplaced effort was mounted by another person who was obviously almost *totally* unable to read the election currents and carried only one state. I was happy about that because it virtually erased the previous record *my* candidate had set of carrying only five states.
Who are those ‘losing’ candidates you might ask? It’s easily found out – just ask Google… they’ll tell you and you’ll be all the smarter – and having accomplished that task and learned something – you’ll be that much better off when you come up against the next obstacle.

Well, every day is a new beginning – every morn is a slate wiped clean… So go out there today armed with the accoutrements of hand-to- hand combat found in Ephesians Chapter Six vv10-20 … and send me a note at n4zhk@arrl.net and I’ll return a congratulatory message and even pay the postage. How’s that for a freebie… (You won’t be asked for $$$. Just friendship. (J)
Enough of your time today. I’m glad you came along. Drop me a line any time. If we ever exceed a million correspondents I may have to hire a secretary.
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack

“JUST A MINUTE”
DON’T WADE ACROSS A SWIFT CURRENT
Just a Minute: No question about it – the President’s standing at present is in question. An expert journalist specializing in “The Hill” – inside news from Capitol Hill says national polls *may* tell you something but state polls may tell you more.
Josh Kraushaar – who has specialized in news from statewide polling -- notes while the latest Gallup and ABC/Washington-Post polls have Mr. Obama’s scores in the danger zone of the ‘40’s – (42-47) unfavorable and trending down in the past two months – the race for president isn’t a national contest – it’s on a state by state basis.
Krasnaar says: (Quote) "Those polls are even more ominous for the president: In every reputable battleground state poll conducted over the past month, Obama's support is weak. In most of them, he trails Republican front-runner Mitt Romney.”
So even though there’s lots of talk about a closely fought election in 2012 – unless Mr. Obama can turn around his fortunes in states like Michigan and New Hampshire – Krasnaar says it *could* turn out to be a GOP landslide.
I say – let’s pray to that end. I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
