I certainly believe that this election has supernatural involvement. There is no other explanation for Obama's sudden rise.

"Maybe Obama is really Jesus?"
Hmmm. You may actually be onto something here. After all, it does say in the book of Revelation that, when Jesus makes his grand re-entrance, he'll have skin like bronze, and hair like wool.
It doesn't matter what denomination of Christian you may be, folks: that right there is the description of a black man.
o.O It's JEESSUSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Oh, no, wait, He's white. Nevermind...

Yeah, God got sick of lying Republican cheats killing Americans and Iraqis for war profits, American children going to bed hungry and with no insurance to cover their illnesses while big business CEOs get golden parachutes and their companies corporate welfare for huge GOP contributions, and the rich getting richer through tax breaks which rob the poor and middle class. He also probably got tired of fundie Pharisees putting their own personal political bigotry and prejudices in his mouth. Yeah, about time a loving God got on the side of his people instead of the greedy and self-serving frauds.
Shut up, you hell-bound heathen. That "supernatural involvement" you criticize is no less than the hand of your almighty God, for scripture tells us that ALL governing authorities are established by Him.
Romans 13:1 "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."
I don't have to believe it, but YOU do.
Actually, it has more to do with people finally realizing that fundy morons who Believe in magic are unfit for a place in our government. They are reckless radicals who make catastrophic decisions.
And the backlash is just beginning. If nothing else, Bible Spice (Palin) might serve to remind rational people that fundies are dangerous cretins. And with any luck at all, we are angry enough to outnumber the idiots at the polls.
Planet Earth with all it's inhabitants, is the best argument against any form of gods.
Besides, nothing supernatural can influence anything in a natural world, once it does, it becomes natural.
The explanation is simple. It's Bush's continuation of Reagan's Voodoo Economics* that's created the need for an Obama.
*That's what Daddy Bush called it, way back when he was running against Reagan for the Republican nomination
I wouldn't call it "sudden," since many people, particularly Democrats, have disliked the Bush administration and Republicans for years now.
And while I don't believe he is an actual Messiah, as some conservatives think Democrats think of him as (just for the record, I'm an Independent,) I do agree with his position of trying to free the U.S. from Big Oil.
Of course Obama's popularity has nothing to do with it.
I'll give you a hint, people are getting tired of the Shrubster and his neocon friends.
Okay, let's assume, just for argument's sake, that Obama's rise has had supernatural involvement.
Now, which supernatural help?
Either it's God, which means God wants him to win, which means you're thwarting God's plan by voting otherwise and will probably go to hell for that.
Or it's Satan. And if Satan wants Obama and God wants McCain ... it looks like Satan's supernatural involvement is more powerful than God's. Where does that leave you?
Halloween is a comin' with the elections soon after. RR has combined the two to make it easier for them to concentrate.
"skin like bronze, and hair like wool" Folks have a tendency to look around like they didn't hear you when one points this out. They couldn't have made the man look any whiter. I find it amusing.

I would have thought that his wife, Michelle would have had to do more for any "sudden rise" that he'd be having?
Oh, we're talking about the election . Never mind.
If you're thinking along the lines of Nicolae Carpathia*, kindly STFU.

"I certainly believe that this election has supernatural involvement. There is no other explanation for Obama's sudden rise. "
Except for the fact that he's the better candidate, maybe?
Oh no! A liberal democrat could never rise to power on the merits of his intelligence, forward-thinking ideas, and capability for the job.
That could only be caused by Super Satan working his magick mojo.

@ Old Viking: You said "Well there's no natural explanation for Bush, either."
Yes there is------inbreeding.
Was there anything sudden about his rise? First there was quite an even fight among the Democrat candidates, then the Republicans chose the geriatric and the bimbo, and it was kind of a done deal.
There are at least two explanations for a Democratic victory, regardless of person at the helm:
1. The dismal work Dubbya did in his eight years running (more like ruining) the country.
2. The fear that Caribou Barbie wold become president, if the Old Man died on the post.
It would have been much more supernatural (not to mention downright mad) if the American people had put Palin one heartbeat away from the Oval Office, especially after eight years of Bush's ass warming that chair.
If I were an American I would not vote Republican at the best of times, but I'd rather have voted for Donald Duck than the wonderful pair that ran for the Republicans in '08. I suspect a lot of Americans felt likewise. It ain't supernatural, honey. It was plain common sense.
"Some people in America are not raving lunatics."
"Some" = 2% at best.
Nature will exterminate the lunatics.
The 2% may survive if they can prevent nuclear war.
If you can't explain Obama's victory through any other means except supernatural intervention, get ready to be disappointed on the next election night too.
On the other hand, if you want to avoid complete political obsolescence then one of these days your lot is going to have to look in the mirror and say, "you know, maybe its us."
Since his opponents were as miserably fucking stupid as you, yes, I voted for him because complete fucking idiots with thousands of nukes are scary.
In a normal election I'd vote 'none of the above.'
I know for a fact that this election has sub natural* elements:

There are plenty of explanations for HL Mencken's past prediction.

Confused?
