Gee, same as last week’s. And the week’s before that. And the week’s before that. And the week’s before that. And the week’s before that.

>> Opinions and commentary are welcome. <<

Please, please, please go away... at least until there’s something new to report.

We’re about to elect George McGovern president, with a left wing Congress. Meanwhile I am watching some conservative commentators spend all their time defending themselves, as in Hannity’s asking every guest how anyone can dare to question his purer than the driven snow role in all this.

Exactly. And although I've never been a huge fan of Hannity, he's gotten especially insufferable lately. His constant whining and belly-button-gazing is getting quite old.

I guess this is interesting for discussion, but I always get a laugh out of the "If the election were held today..." comments. Point is.....

1) It's not being held today.

2) A lot can happen between now and then.

3) That comment means nothing until November 4th.

Btw, wasn’t Romney leading the pack just a short while back on these Intrade.com futures?

Yes. Giuliani was leading, then Romney, now McCain. Things do change.

By November, we will have a data set for 2008, like we did in 2004.

That’s because Hannity and others are thinking about their ratings, book sales, and have lost perspective.

McCain’s a non-starter. Here in Michigan the economy is so fouled up that any Democrat will win. My brother lives in Ohio and says the same.

McCain has a good chance to carry Montana, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska,...and....and....and....?

This is gonna be a wipeout. Biggest debacle since 1964.

Don’t waste your vote on McCain, vote third party and send the liberals in the GOP a message.

I know this has proven to be a reliable indicator but not this far out. McCain will win NH and NM easily. (That they have JOHN McCAIN at 20 some percent chance in NH is SILLY.) He’ll win IA versus Hillary. Likely win MO versus both. Hillary will NOT win Colorado (her negatives there are bad). OH is more tossup but still favors McCain (especially against Obama). McCain will win Oregon and Pennsylvania versus Hillary.

Even so, with McCain on the ticket I believe Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Virginia at a minimum go the other way.

McCain has dropped 17 points vs. Huckabee and into a tie with Hillary in recent polls. I don’t think this is over yet.

In almost every poll McCain has been blowing out the competition in Virginia. None of those states will go the other way except MAYBE Arkansas.

The impression before Sat. was that McCain was well ahead in Washington and Louisiana and competitive in Kasas. I believe Virginia will be closer than you think. We’ll see tomorrow.

“Certainly one reason I hate to put the most liberal senator of 2007 into office with probably the most liberal Congress ever.”

I would definitely say it is the most liberal Congress, no doubt, most un-American too.

Very scary with Obama or Hillary in there. One positive thing about McCain is he doesn’t like to be challenged. He might get pissed if Hillary or Obama start attacking him in the general, and get pissed off at all Democrats regardless, and he could decide to go nuclear on them.

That being said, Go Huckabee!

These numbers are silly until we know who the RAT nominee will be.

McCain will carry New Mexico. He is probably more popular there than he is in his home state.

You miss my point. I don’t consider this type of evidence to be a bellwether of how elections turn out.

You forgot about the “greening” of much of the white population. Even if every immigrant were deported tomorrow, NJ, NY, and MA would still be Dem hellholes.

List of Republican Presidents elected without carrying Ohio:

Not NY. Upstate is a pretty reasonable group of people. It’s the city, which is heavily immigrant, that makes NY so liberal.

Not really. The suburbs of New York are majority Dem (ranging from overwhelmingly so in Westchester, to slightly so in Suffolk), to say nothing of the economic backwaters of Buffalo, Syracuse, and Rochester. Dairy cows can’t vote and all of upstate is bleeding population.

Give McCain a chance to make his case and it will look more like this on election day:

Maybe I’ll retire there if that’s true, unless the southern and midwestern states have seceded by then. Upstate NY is gorgeous in the summer.
