Probably, but that doesn't change the fact, that every day it gets a little harder for McCain. Take your fanboy blinders off for a second BG and honestly tell me, looking at the electoral map less than a month away, do you really think McCain has much of a shot at winning? |

Well, I would rather beat IU basketball by 40, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't take a 1 pt. win from a questionable foul. You would take any win you could get at this point, my friend. |

Is this the same Dole who is trailing in the polls in NC? Listen, I think McCain will win NC and MO. Here is the thing though. He HAS to win those states. He can't afford to give up states that Bush won, states that generally vote Republican. |

Hogville, I think we have a chance. Am I a little nervous yes. Am I pleased with where we are no. That is why I am going to the Phonebank tonight and doing an event this weekend. NC should be over but it is a fight. WE have to win FL NC VA IN MO OH CO and NV we are within 5 points i believe in all those states. It will be risky but we had to win all those states 6 months ago. 3 weeks ago we looked strong in all of them except CO. Obama will fall a little bit it always tightens prior to election day. The ACORN shit if the MSM ever picks it up will hurt Obama. I think we have about a 45% shot on election day. I know we have work to do and am going to fight to the finish. |

45%? Wow, I think you are really optimistic. You just listed 8 states that you HAVE to win. YOu can't afford for Obama to pick off 1. I think that McCain has a good shot in the first 6 you listed, but NV, and CO especially have been trending upward for Obama, and I see no reason why that will change. Obama has all the advantages on his side right now. He has a much better grassroots organization, he is outspending McCain, and because he is competitive is in so many places he can stretch McCain thin both financially and logistically. You keep saying "if the MSM would cover this" "if the MSM would cover that" well unless there is some surprise revelation, or terrorist attack, or something along those lines, the economy is going to dominate the news cycle right up until the election, and Obama is kicking McCain's ass on the economy. Right now, I would say McCain has about a 25% chance of winning. |

HOG, I say it is higher than 25% I agree IN VA MO NC OH FL are 75% McCain runs them but that is only 260 EV. I say 45 % because PA or WI or maybe MN all have the voes to get us to 270. CO and NV are not the only routes. I agree Obama has many routes to 270 I have seen on a few odd sites that a 269-269 tie is like 6% possible. That gives us a Obama/Palin administration. So if that is at 6% I say McCain has to have a 40% shot. BTW Dole is back up in NC and Mayor Pat McCorey however you spell his name is up and he will bring a big turnout in Charlotte that will help McCain and Dole. I talked to her about it yesterday. |

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. You make a good case, but I just don't see McCain taking WI or MN and little shot in PA, which would make a win very very difficult. I guess we will see who is right in about 28 days. |

Hog, Keep in mind I am a little biased and have invested alot of time and energy into this and see no reason to just quit now. We have beem down before. 28 days before New hampshire McCain was down and 28 Days before SC we had little chance there. I agree that it will be whoever turns out its base. Frim what I have seen McCain has a lillte marginal advantage among independents but Obama has a base advantage. I have to hope we turn our base out and Sarah should deliver them. CNN just did a segment on the Bradley factor. Chris Obama Matthews has also spoken about the bradley factor in states like Ohio PA and Indiana. |

I agree, and I do think that will have an effect though not a 10 point effect as Aaron suggest. The yourger the voting demographic, the less part it will play. Also, I think the Bradley effect will be ofset somewhat by record turnout among blacks. |

I would not count on that turnout or the youth vote because for some reason it never makes it to the polls. |

they're attempting to make it REALLY easy for the college vote this year. not only were people getting students registered (volunteers from both campaigns) for virtually the whole school year so far, early voting has started ON CAMPUS. students can vote early in the HPER (which makes it extremely easy). If this same style is repeated across college campuses nationwide, i could see the college/youth vote playing a factor. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

Btown, It is kinda like paying your VISA bill. Alot of people have the money but just kinda put it off put it off and bamo you are late. For Hog CNN just predicted a 263-275 loss for McCain. I think we rally in PA. and CO is still up for grabs but I am afraid end of the day CO might be the spike that stabs us. |
