Add in that the polls are universally over weighting Democrats to Republicans (except Rasmussen, which puts them at a statistical dead heat) and I would venture that McCain is up by at least 7. When I feed that into the electoral map, McCain only needs to flip VA and he's golden.Phelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270536870200063563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745081.post-80871322286559376672008-10-19T01:36:00.000-04:002008-10-19T01:36:00.000-04:00There are only 18 days to go and I think the margi...There are only 18 days to go and I think the margins are close enough that McCain has a chance. Obama handed him an opportunity with the stupid spread the wealth comment to plumber boy. He might do something else stupid like that. <BR/><BR/>Throw in race and the unknowns about how that will affect the electorate's decision making and I have to tell you, irrespective of the polls, I don't know whats going to happen on Nov. 4th.Political Seasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609253738367441591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745081.post-78726309462574192262008-10-18T23:22:00.000-04:002008-10-18T23:22:00.000-04:00Hey guys.If Joe the Plumber had happened far earli...Hey guys.<BR/><BR/>If Joe the Plumber had happened far earlier in the campaign before this thing started going down in flames, then I might be inclined to agree that it could have potentially narrowed the gap somewhat. But it's far too late now.<BR/><BR/>And aside from the seemingly unstoppable momentum at thi9s point, I'm sure by now you've heard about all of poor Joe's problems. He's not a licensed plumber. Owes back taxes that he hasn't paid. And apparently his name may not even be Joe...<BR/><BR/>Every life raft that McCain reaches for has holes, and he's drifting further and further out to sea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745081.post-46481843043555658512008-10-18T10:24:00.000-04:002008-10-18T10:24:00.000-04:00although, not over "by a long shot," i c...although, not over "by a long shot," i can imagine that Obama's fat lady is warming up her vocal chords while McCain's fat lady needs to put on another 20 lbs!<BR/><BR/>the fact of the matter, neither candidate is going to win on a single issue. and branding Obama a "tax & spend liberal" has already been used... remember the line: Obama is the most liberal member of the Senate?<BR/><BR/>solutions for a bad economy, a forward-leaning vision, sound judgement, and a steady hand at the wheel - four things that McCain lacks - are what are driving this election cycle. i will bet that McCain (and Company) will have something new to spring on the American people come next monday or tuesday!plez...https://www.blogger.com/profile/03637930826560736172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745081.post-21775279234042537302008-10-17T13:19:00.000-04:002008-10-17T13:19:00.000-04:00Anything is possible.

It can happen again.<BR/><BR/>However, at the end of the day, Americans are going to look at their personal economic situation under the leadership of George Bush ... and realize that they cannot afford another four years of the same economic policies in a McCain administration.<BR/><BR/>That is why Obama will win.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.com
