Can’t believe it is really TIED in MN!!!

i find this all very hopeful... on the other hand, i find it irritating... every election cycle, i get my hopes up that one of these blue states is going to turn red... it always seems like that according to the polls... then election day comes and it doesn't happen... not even close... is it really tied? should McCain spend resources there? or will it be wasted money and time? i want the polls to show him up over the margin of error in these "purple" states... then i'll be hopeful...

sorry i'm being negative... i hate negative attitudes and try not to be that way...

Not even close???? Bush lost WI in 2004 by 11,384 votes out of almost 3,000,000 cast. The PA margin was about the same as OH in 2004.

That’s because blue-states are corrupt and the Rats use their power once they have it to break all the rules. Kerry won Wisconsin by 12000 votes out of 3 million in 2004. How many people drove over from St. Paul and Minneapolis to vote there, how many Chicago residents took a short drive up? The midwest is corrupted by the Rats.

i hope it really happens this time... so close--and yet, no electoral votes...

Would you confess, "sorry I'm being realistic... I hate realistic attitudes and try not to be that way..."

One could equally say, "sorry I'm being a booster... I hate boosterism and try not to be that way..."

I think the test for publishing on free Republic should be, can we defend what we say? not whether we are politically correct.

Sorry I'm being preachy... I hate preachiness and try not to be that way...
