Like most people that live in the real world, I think that an Obama presidency is 2 weeks away. But many polls are close or within with the margin of error, so McCain has a very very slim chance of pulling something off. So here's what I'm asking here is; What will it take for McCain to win? So I put up a nifty little poll, rather than put the option "he can't" (because I'm sure that's what most people would pick), let's keep it on events that might actually change the course.
So here are brief descriptions of the poll options, though I'm sure we could figure them out.
Obama (or Biden) Bombshell/Scandal: We find out Obama is Muslim or that he has a love child in Mexico, something huge like that. Biden wouldn't have as big effect, but it still could be enough to set Obama back.
Push Joe the Plumber: McCain just seemed to realize that saying Obama is socialist might actually appeal to people and is playing it up big time right now.
Push "checks and balances": If Obama wins there's a good chance the Dems will have enought seats in the house & senate to be filibuster proof. There have been some arguements this we need that difference in place, could appeal to independents.
Replace Palin: Such a thing would be unprecedented, but swapping her out for someone else might result in more votes gained than lost.
Terror Attack (or other big military event): This won Bush the election in 2004, if the Sears Tower is attacked next week it would shocking if McCain didn't get more votes.
Other: Explain your reason.
