Hmmm... every large failed city is Blue. More than coincidence? I think so...

Rassmusen has McCain ahead in NC. Real Clear Politics has the breakdown of other polling sites, and all have McCain up (11+ up according to them in the RCP average)

“The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds McCain ahead 46% to 42% in the Tar Heel State. That’s little changed from last month. But, when “leaners” are included, McCain has opened a six-point lead, 50% to 44%. That’s twice the three-point advantage from a month ago and McCain’s biggest edge since shortly after the Jeremiah Wright story became news in mid-March.”

NC is not a toss-up state it’s squarely in McCain’s corner.

THE POLL: The Des Moines Register, presidential race in Iowa of likely voters.

THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama 52 percent, John McCain 40 percent.

OF INTEREST: Iowa has long been viewed as a battleground state, in part because of narrow margins of victory in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, but Obama appears to have opened up a wide lead. Iowa went narrowly for the Republican, President Bush, in 2004, as it did for the Democrat, former Vice President Al Gore, in 2000. The state has seven electoral votes.

DETAILS: Conducted Sept. 8-10 by telephone with 801 Iowans. Sampling error margin plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Those fly over people are just clinging to their guns and religion so we don't really matter.

In the final moments in the voting booth, 70 % of the “undecided” vote will go to McCain-Palin. B.O. is the emtiest of empty suits.

I think its going to be a landslide. Its going to be clear-cut.

There had better be a clear-cut landslide if not; and maybe even if so, there will (in my estimation), be the largest riots that this country has ever seen. I am not talking about just blacks, if you read the blogs, there are a bunch of rabid left wing nuts out there thinking Obama has a right to be the next president. The dems have them convinced that this country is in terrible shape and that Obama is the only thing that can save them. They are convinced that they are fighting for their lives. NOT A GOOD SITUATION!!!!

Aways good to know that people in California know more about Virginia politics than the people living there. If mccain wins Virginia it will be by the skin of chicken lips margin.

How does Zogby adjust for the “Bradley effect”. I would expect the effect to be most pronounced at ideologically rigid colleges and universities, where students are pressed to “toe the party line” or get slammed in more or less subtle ways.

They have been TOTALLY in the tank for Obama for 2 full years now and he’s not ahead. They made a BIG MISTAKE by going into the tank for him vs. Hillary, now a portion of the DEMOCRAT electorate sees their bias and DEMOCRATS were their last bastion of credibility.

About half the country pays the MSM no mind, now they just poisoned about 20% of the people who believed they were legitimate.

They have been prejudiced against Republicans since forever. This is the beginning of their implosion, because you now have lefties calling them out. They are still the most powerful beast in the world, but it’s too late for them to save the Messiah.

Obama is D.O.A. on 11/4.

Heck, even the Clintons & the Clintonistas aren’t gonna vote for this clown...
it ruins Clinton’s plan to run in 2012 if Obama is elected POTUS.

Even Zogby's color selection is biased. He picks a "purple" that is as dark looking as the blue, with a very similar hue:

I used a hue that deviates from the red by 24 points, the same as Zogby's deviates from the blue. I used Zogby's saturation, and a lightness the same as the original red and blue (Zogby went much darker to look more like the blue.):

Something like this would be more unbiased and give the proper impression:

MN and Alaska have shared culture points. Then again, maybe the anarchist helped tip the scale.

So do I. I have volunteered to help make that happen. We have work to do but well worth it to help save our country from an unaccomplished, unAmerican, anti-Christian empty suit.

Let’s help give Michigan to McCain/Palin!

In the stronghold state of Illinois, no one is watching Barry's decline in the polls. This may be a bellwether example of Barry's losses.

http://www.pollster.com/polls/il/08-il-pres-ge-mvo.php

The above poll has not been updated since the wave of Gov Palin came on strong. Barry may well be below 50% in Illinois, but no one is noticing. If the Indies and disenchanted DEMS are switching sides and since both King Richard of Chicago and Gov Blow-Dry-o-Vich have been relatively kind to Gov Palin, I think Illinois could surprise people.

The problem with Obama is not that he’s Black;
the problem is that because he refused to debate McCain in the town hall forum, he is YELLOW! LOL

I don’t place much credibility in these polls...
anyone who ever took HS statistics knows that you can get a poll to say whatever you want it to say by just the way you ask the question, the possible answers to select from and the sample/size...

Bottom line: Obama is D.O.A. on 11/4
Heck, the Clintons & the Clintonistas aren’t gonna vote for this loser...
it ruins Clinton’s plan to run in 2012 if Obama is elected POTUS.

Minn has 10 EC votes
NC has 15
Va has 13
NM gas 5

43 votes from those states for McCain;
enough to put him at 269...

No good. McCain can’t lose Iowa, or any of the 2004 red states, without picking up another blue state to compensate. That would have to be Pennsylvania, but I don’t see it happening.

So, we don’t win to please the liberals so that they can socialize this country, ruin our defense, and be nice to us?

This is a war and we too will be furious if we lose.

And, just because they will throw tantrums, I still get the right to vote for whom I please. Do you?
