She had plans, policies, and knew the issues forward and backward. He practically circumnavigated the earth to givea simple yes or no answer.
The Obamabots are flooding ABC with complaints, but cannot dull the message that he just plain stunk. His “ums” and “ahs” and “the notion that” really were feeble. What an embarrasment he is. If the Dems nominate him they deserve to lose.
The guy who made the comment didn’t sound like he was going to vote for either Clinton or Obama. It certainly didn’t sound like he was waiting to see who won before deciding to vote for McCain. I guess I am somewhat reluctantly agreeing with #2 & #3.
So McCain doesn’t flip a single red-state there, but by holding onto VA, MO, OH, and NM, he probably slightly holds off Obama overall. Give Obama Colorado, and North Dakota, and keep everything static and Mac wins 271-267. Very, very close.
Can you imagine if somehow McCain manages a 272ish EV victory – but Obama racks up huge AA margins in southern states but still loses them by 5 or 7 points (instead of 15 or 20) and manages a popular vote victory?
That’s true. That would be soooo sweet. It would be great for the GOP to say “Hey – if you guys elected instead of selected your nominee – maybe you could have won – so shove it!”
Kerry got like 90% of the AA vote anyway. If Obama gets 95%, or even 100%, and even with some new registrations, there just aren’t enough of them out there who don’t already support the Democrats to make much of a difference. AA support helping Obama in the general just doesn’t add up.
Now, if Hillary pulls it off, blacks staying home in the general would definitely help us in some nothern industrial states…
Everyone – please go to the tape of Obama’s rally in Raliegh NC today where he flips the bird to Hillary Clinton . Talking about the debate – Hillary is in her element – middle finger to the face scratch.

Well, I don’t blame them. After what we saw last night how can anyone with his/her right mind vote for someone like Obama?.
April 17th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Well, it *is* Fox News…
April 17th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Fox news is infamous for planting people in audiences like that…

doesn’t flip a single “blue state”*
April 17th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Interesting that both Rasmussen and SUSA have McCain down by 7 from Obama. Also, Massachusetts still close in polling again.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
If McCain gets New Mexico and North Dakota, which he should, he wins. He might even pick up PA, NJ, NH, MA, and one of the Great Lake States.
I really think he’s got it. Especially since Obama seems so intent on screwing up.

The Dems will FREAK!
April 17th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
13, they won’t be able to if Hillary wins their own popular vote and isn’t nominated.

Kevin,

Matthew–
You missed Iowa. Obama will beat McCain in Iowa, as that poll shows. Given your scenario with the rest of the states, that means President Obama.

I’m not convinced Barry will take CO.

Just to confirm, since I am deaf. This video is about the group’s reactions to the Democratic debate last night, and Mitt’s part is muted out, right?
April 17th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
19, yes.

Kevin, thanks!
