I am scared to even write this post considering the backlash I have gotten in the past when I wrote about anything political (It is all in fun). I am not endorsing a candidate through this, in fact I have no idea who I am voting for so don't write comments about my support for Obama because I don't support him.
Can I vote for Ronald Reagan?
So I will simply give you a couple of reasons (not all the reasons) that Obama will win, plain and simple.
1. MCCain and Palin are all over the map right now. Charges of Obama being a socialist one day,something else the next day, probably Jeremiah Wright the next day, and so on. He is getting desperate. Just a side note, if you haven't noticed in the last couple of weeks THE GOVERNMENT owns American companies and banks and it is being supported by a Republican president. Both parties have taken steps closer to socialism that is a fact.
2. The Colin Powell Endorsement- Nuff said! This hurt the Republicans.
3. Young Evangelicals- Many will vote for Obama, because they see this race as much bigger than a one to two issue election. The Republicans have left them uninspired and empty. The religious right just doesn't "get" these younger evangelicals, they can't understand why they would vote for a democrat. In fact they "assume" that their young people will vote for McCain. Many Christians talk as if there is only ONE candidate you as a Christian could possibly vote for. It is this lack of dialogue that has caused many younger evangelicals to move to Obama. Many of my Christian friends around the country are voting for Obama.
4. It is the Economy Stupid-There is plenty of blame to go around here because basically it is everyone's greed from politicians (both parties), to Wall Street, to the American consumer that has gotten us into this mess, but the incumbent party always takes the brunt of the public's wrath.
You might not like that, but it is the truth.
It will be Obama by 10 percentage points, mark my words. Don't hate the messenger. This is not an endorsement.
Jesus for President!

P.S. I would love to hear who you are voting for, if you know.
