U.S. ELECTION ANALYSIS:The Battleground States.
Independent Notes By Uncle Monty.
***
Click below on the Arab news network online news
site - Al Jazeera - for its simply and pointed analysis
of the very important battleground states up for
grabs between John Sidney McCain III
and Barack Hussien Obama:
***
It's still late Sunday night on the East Coast of the US,
while it's now early Monday morning in England and the
rest of Western Europe, which awaits Tuesday's U.S.
Election results with all the hope that Barack Hussien
Obama will be the next 44th American president over
his Republican rival John Sidney McCain III.
***
Hold on dudes. It ain't over, 'til its over. That's for sure.
The 2008 presidential election is going, I think, to be
a real dowser at those battleground states that look
right now to be for McCain to take and grab from
Obama.
***
If however, John McCain should lose his own state
of Arizona, then he'd for all practical purposes be
finished. While the unthinkable that Obama should
lose his own state of Illinios would be a death blow
beyond anything of whatever aspirations he may
have of ever becoming America's first black president,
either now or in the future. I mention such, because
the unique thing about American politics is that the
most unexpected and most unlikely things can, and
do, happen without any kind of warning or even
rational reason or explanation until such happens.
This presidential election will most certainly bring
the unexcepted at somewhere and at somehow in
America come Nov. 4th. What such will bring, I
don't know other than I am more confident that
John Sidney McCain III will win The Oval Office.
***
So check out the U.S. battleground states and keep
your eye on those should you, like me, be closely
following the whole presidential election with
suspense and anticipation of its final outcome.
***
The American television networks - ABC, CBS,
NBC, and PBS - on the East Coast will undoubt-
edly want to project the winner before everybody
on the West Coast, due to later time zones, has
cast their votes at their local polling booths. I
think now, such networks are constained
from making such announced projections of the
presidential winner until all the polling stations
are closed out in California or on the West Coast.
California, of course, has the richest and most
Electoral College with 55 votes and thus is a
political prize all by itself to any national cand-
idate for president. And, Texas isn't far off
with its 43 Electoral votes, too, I think.

:: UPDATE ::
US poll shows Obama lead does
not hinge on white churchgoers.
New York (ENI). On the eve of the U.S. presidential
election, Democrat Party candidate Barack Obama
appears to have made little inroads with white voters
who regularly attend church, according to one survey.
A Gallup Poll showed that Obama - a member of the
United Church of Christ who has actively courted white
evangelical voters - is backed by just under a third of
such voters: 28 percent, which is 1 point less than
what Democratic presidential candidate John
Kerry garnered in 2004.

Hi Uncle Monty, You're a good man but completely wrong about McCain. He will not be President. I am not voting in this election to protest the wrong war in Iraq by bad man Bush. Bet all you want on McCain. You'll lose all your cash down the drain. The Senator from Illinois will become President almost certainly later today. Do you want to bet on that outcome? Best to you.
