Obama-McCain Race Will Tighten, Predicts DNC chairman
Howard Dean says the election could be very close and come down to turnout.
The outcome of the presidential race still hangs in the balance even though Democratic candidate Barack Obama leads in the national polls, says Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
In a telephone interview with U.S. News, Dean predicted that the race will tighten, and the election could still be very close. "We've got to get everybody out to vote," he said.
Dean has been traveling around the country to register voters, recruit volunteers, encourage participation in early voting programs, and drum up support for Obama and other Democratic candidates.
"The torch is about to pass to a new generation. Don't blow it," he told University of Dayton students in Ohio Tuesday.
He said the Bush administration has increased the government's debt and inflated annual deficits to astronomical levels over the past eight years, adding: "You can't trust Republicans with your money."
In the interview, Dean said Obama has demonstrated that he is ready to be president and that he would govern effectively, despite Republican John McCain's attacks on his fitness to lead and his liberal voting record.
"He's overcome that threshold," Dean said, referring to questions about Obama's experience and judgment. "One campaign [McCain's] is a little desperate, the other is taking the high road. Barack has to continue on the high road."

Obama-McCain Race will Tighten
These dishonest polls and the lib.media from NY Times to CNN to CNBC have sold out big time! They've been trying for 2 years now to put Obama in office!
If the polls and the MSM are right, why are the Dems. so worried - so worried that they've to use the MSM attack dogs to launch such frenzied attacks against Sarah Palin and even Joe the Plumber from the get go!
Here are 12 compelling reasons why the Big O will lose come Nov. 4th:
1 - He is outside the mainstream group think.
a. Americans, as a rule, do not subscribe to the gospel of the extreme left OR the extreme right.
b. Most Americans remain centrists and are jealously protective of their guaranteed inalienable rights.
2 - He is THE most liberal (and disingenuous) Senator in the country.
3 - Unanswered questions and deep doubt.
a. Occidental College records—Not released?
b. Columbia College records—Not released?
c. Columbia Thesis paper—Not available?
d. Harvard College records—Not released?
e. Selective Service Registration—Not released?
f. Medical records—Not released?
g. Illinois State Senate schedule—Not available?
h. Illinois State Senate records—Not available?
i. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate—Not released?
j. Record of baptism—Not available?
4 - His “spreading the wealth” Marxist leanings - The mysterious “Frank” cited as a friend and adviser by Obama while he was growing up in Hawaii has been identified as Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA. It's now confirmed through web archives(although they tried to wipe out all traces of that)that the Big O was a registered member of the Democratic Socialist of America org. and the unconstitutional New Socialist Party and received their undivided support and patronage when he ran for the Senate!
5 - His waffle on direct talks with real and perceived enemies.
6 - A growing concern (even among his supporters) that he will say whatever is necessary but cannot be trusted to do what he says.
7 - His links to unsavory anti-American characters from his formative years from Frank M. Davies to Ayers, to Rev. Wright to Father Phleger et al. all of whom would inevitably have influenced and shaped his thinking
8 - The possibility of a total Dem. control of all three branches of govt. from the Presidency to Congress to the Judiciary violates the Doctrine of Separation of Powers and scares the hell out of voters that the USA will gravitate towards becoming the USSA!
9 - The possibility of Obama being a shady “Manchurian Candidate” working for anti-American causes considering the dubious nature and sources of his campaign funds.
10- Powell’s endorsement and the racial polarization of 96% of African American support for the Big O is the poisoned chalice that will unleash a spectacular backlash on Nov.4th.
11- The lib.media bias have got so many Reps. all riled up that, like me, they’d be dragging every pal, relative and next door neighbor to the polls come Nov. 4th
12- The seemingly habitual trait of the Democratic Party to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on election day!
On Nov. 6th I’d be throwing a party to toast the end of the biggest threat to American sovereignty since 9/11! All of you’re most welcomed to join in!

To LONGV of KS, I wish the American people really were smarter than that. Look at the money Obama has to spend, and note that the only way Ted Kennedy gets re-elected is to throw unconscionable amounts of money around. It works for Kennedy, and it will probably work for Obama. That doesn't mean I agree with him, it just means that I don't have as much faith in the intelligence of the American voters as you do.
