Wilder ran against a clown, that’s why he won. Anywyas, Wilder is not as bad as the Democrat now. Wilder was conservative on some issues, and governed fairly middle of the road.
While I take the NY poll with a grain of salt, it does follow the general trend we are seeing in other state polls across the nation - a strong move toward McCain based on independents and women breaking toward him. The big problem with the VA poll is that it is so far off the rest of the polling for VA, and it doesn't follow the trend we are seeing in other states. Could it be the harbinger of a change in the trend? Sure, but I will wait until we see other polls showing a similar outcome before panicking...
I knew VA would go for McCain!
I am having a big laugh at this Chinese?? news story.
Precisely. Virginia Democrats who have won statewide gubernatorial and senate elections in the past 40 years (Robb, Baliles, Wilder, Webb) have all been far to the right of Obama. Jim Webb won ONLY because of Allen's "macaca" statement (Miller would not have been able to pull it off), and other than the war Webb ran on a fairly mainstream platform.
There have certainly been a lot of changes with more liberals in Northern Virginia, but the rest of the state is still quite conservative.
florida, ohio, virginia and colorado.
if mccain wins those 4, it is over.
All are looking good.
7 weeks to go.
thought so... no problem. Don’t work too hard.
The other 3 are fine, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say CO is “looking good”.

Yep, complete wishful thinking by the pundents that they were making a case that VA let alone NC was going to go for Fauxbama.
FL and OHIO are in the bag as well. The states to watch IF this stays close, are the rust belt, PA, MI and WI.. Fauxbama cannot lose any of those, and he likely will lose at least 2 if not all 3 of them on election night.
Fauxbama MUST win all of kerry’s states and hold onto IA, CO and NM to win... and I just don’t see it happening.
