It’s Not A Coin Toss

Imagine for a moment a quarter. One side heads, one tails. Now flip it… Which side landed up?
Now flip it a billion more times… I’ll wait…
Statisticians tell us that it will come out pretty much equal between heads and tails.

Now imagine a coin with “Vote Obama” on one side, and “The Best For America” on the other. Does it bring to mind the saying “two sides of the same coin”?
Now flip this coin a billion times… waiting… Probably pretty much equal between both sides again.
Now, how many times did this coin land with both sides up? I’m guessing zero. As always, the two sides of the same coin are always going in opposite directions.

Flipping a coin is a way of making a random choice between two, usually opposed options. Other than the element of chance that is what America faces in this election; a decision between two incompatible choices. It really doesn’t matter what you think of John McCain. He is the best option for America when it comes down to the two possibilities. There are only two options in this election: Obamination or America.

That doesn’t seem to require a coin toss to decide, does it?
