<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Yes, dwisaptati sama dasa applies.
The 9-year Sun dasa started at the end of June. Immediately she came to limelight.
In rasi chart, Sun is in 7th house in Ghati Lagna and in the 10th from arudha lagna. That seems promising. In D-10, Sun is the 10th lord joining 5th lord Jupiter and giving a raja yoga. This raja yoga is in 8th and things are happening suddenly. Sun-Jupiter combination in D-10 is in the 5th house from arudha lagna and A5 (yasah pada) is with them! Moreover, Sun is in Indra dasamsa, which is conducive to political power.
This lady has just started a fantastic 9-year dasa.
Though it seems almost impossible practically, I still think McCain and Palin will pull this one and then Palin will enjoy power till 2017. Even otherwise, she will be in the limelight and enjoy some power till 2017. Sun-Jupiter antardasa during 2012-2014 is pretty good. It activates the raja yoga in D-10, involving 5th lord, 10th lord, A5 and 5th from AL. Interestingly, next presidential elections are in that period. If McCain loses now, Palin will probably run then. If McCain wins now, he will probably drop out in 2012 and let Palin run by herself.
..........................
Practically speaking, it seems like McCain has zero chance of catching up now and what is left is a mere formality. Obama is ahead, did very well in all the debates and gaining tremendous momentum.
However, when I revisit the charts, I still think McCain has a better chance of taking oath as President on 2009 Jan 18 and not Obama.
It is quite possible that my knowledge is insufficient and/or I accepted incorrect birthcharts for my prediction.
Best regards,

Subject: Very Likely he will be the President of USA
Namaskar. As Mr.. Obama is running period of Jupiter/Moon till march 2008. Very likely he will be the Next President for USA. since 5th house results will come along with Moon public Karka.
~~ Jai Ganesha.
Yes, I agree with you. Senator Barack Obama's Uccha Chandra in domain-5 = elections, winning, politics. As uccha L-7, Chandra provides strong, excellent, emotionally attuned counseling and advising relationships. Good advice is absolutely key to his successful leadership. In Ashwini nakshatra in the navamsha chart, Obama's position of Soma marks a physician or healer.
It was often remarked during the primary election competition between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama that Hillary was a fighter, while Barack was a healer. In the end, Americans wanted a healer - at least partly to repair the USA's war-damaged reputation in the world arena. The vidya of Jyotisha would indeed confirm Mr. Obama's healing capabilities, albeit in a political setting not a medical clinic!
Another important feature of Obama's radix Moon is its position in Rohini "Desire Me" nakshatra. Any native with Moon in Rohini has a deep and urgent need to be loved and desired. These folks need a lot of personal attention! They are nice people and they are willing to work for the lavish attention they crave, but they simply cannot live without loving admiration from the key people in their environment.
Please don't post astrology trash like this, I guess its pretty easy to guess now since he is having 10 point leads according to some polls. They should have predicted 10 years ago. It would be embarrassing if McCain wins PA and Ohio.

He is a gaffe generator. They are just hiding him for safety reasons.
If McCain wins PA and Ohio as he is planning, then Obama has to win New Mexico (possible, only slight GOP win in 04), Colorado (maybe), Virginia (hard, because of EJ vote), Indiana (hard).
It will be easier for Obama if he wins Nevada. But I'm doubtful of that, he has to depend on huge voter turnout in Las Vegas (only area to vote Democrat in 04)
PA and Virginia are the most important. I'm predicting Ohio will be comfortably Republican.

A McCain presidency's 'to do' list
By Rosiland Jordan
John McCain had been banking on the war in Iraq being a major election issue [GALLO/GETTY]
Keeping in mind John McCain's own chastising of Barack Obama for prematurely "measuring the drapes," Al Jazeera takes a look at what the Republican will have on his own "to-do" list should he wake up as President-Elect on November 5th.
Foreign policy:
This was supposed to be the election where if the war in Iraq was the number one issue on voters' minds and McCain would have been in a unique position to campaign as a supporter of it.
He was supposed to be successful because of how and why he argued for continued US involvement in Iraq â proof that on the big issues,he really does live up to his reputation as a "go-it-alone" maverick.
Alone among congressional Republicans, McCain repeatedly pronounced the first years of the US occupation a failure.
He loudly blamed then-defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld for the failure.
He all but dared US president George Bush to fire Rumsfeld â a move that endeared McCain to anti-war Democrats and independent voters alike.
Also, against the Bush administrationâs attempts to streamline US military operations, McCain called for deploying more US troops in Iraq in order to put down the insurgency â something that was not done until the beginning of 2007.
McCain opposes an early withdrawal from Iraq; he has campaigned for "victory with honour" and has come under fire for suggesting that the US presence in Iraq could for last decades.
He has proposed balancing the estimated $10-12 billion monthly expense for Iraq operations with cuts in other defence programs, notably new aircraft.
In tandem with his Iraq policy, McCain has promised to expand the so-called âGlobal War on Terror,â although he has pushed for stricter controls on intelligence gathering programmes that may snare US citizens by mistake.
McCain is also calling for an expansion of the US' missile defence systems to deal with potential threats from rivals such as China and Russia â a multibillion-dollar project.
With inflation now on the rise, balancing the budget may require deeper programme cuts than US defence contractors are prepared to accept.
McCain also wants to expand the number of active-duty soldiers and marines â another net increase in spending.
Notably absent from his campaign pronouncements this year is his position on relations with international bodies such as the United Nations and the European Union.
Any instinct McCain has to engage with these organisations might affect his standing with conservatives wary of the institutions' influence â and blunt any of his attempts to promote a pragmatic foreign policy strategy.
Domestic issues:
This is an area where Democratic candidate Barack Obama has argued a McCain presidency would represent an extension of the policies of George Bush's administration.
Obama is mostly correct, except in two areas â immigration reform and abortion.
McCain has supported a plan to give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship, but current economic problems might make passage of such a plan harder.
And while he is "pro-life", McCain has said in the past he would support funding for both contraception and abstinence education in foreign family planning programmes.
McCain would try to reform the health care system by providing a $5,000 tax credit to families and making it easier for workers to keep their health insurance when they change jobs.
His argument is that companies would save money.
He still backs partial investment of Social Security taxes in the stock market, though President Bush was soundly defeated when he unveiled the scheme in 2005.
McCain also wants to find a way to expand benefits for veterans, although he voted against a veterans' education funding bill in 2008 because of concerns about the growing government budget deficit.
Where McCain agrees with President Bush is in areas such as expanded offshore oil drilling and the construction of 25-30 new nuclear reactors in the next 30 years.
Environmental groups hate the first idea, but have begun softening their opposition to the second on air quality grounds.
Other areas of agreement are the protection of individuals' rights to own and carry firearms and the selection of conservative jurists to fill the nation's courthouses.
Economic issues:
McCain has admitted in the past to being less than fully schooled in economic matters, but he has surrounded himself with advisers who have recent federal budgetary experience.
His top economic adviser once led the Congressional Budget Office, and a key campaigner served in George Bush's administration as both trade representative and chief budget planner.
In focus
In-depth coverage of the
US presidential election
McCain's broad plan includes trying to win the right to veto individual items in the federal budget â something Congress has denied previous presidents â reaching more free-trade accords, and trying to find ways to reduce regulations that govern business operations.
That last priority runs counter to the current political mood to rein-in business practices as lack of regulation and government oversight is perceived to be the reason why the global financial markets are crashing, taking jobs, pensions and a sense of security down with them.
McCain has also vowed to help homeowners in danger of losing their homes with a $300 billion refinancing initiative â but so far that plan, and others proposed by Congressional Democrats, have yet to be fully discussed.
With the recession expected to run at least two years, and both political parties under pressure to help US consumers survive the downturn, this could be one area where McCain could make some early headway â and demonstrate another of his vaunted traits: his ability to work with leaders of BOTH political parties.
