When this happens in California, then we are well on our way to being able to celebrate on election night with a McCain/Palin win!
No wonder Obama wants people to get in our face to vote for the most liberal Senator. Their internals must stink!

They’re right, I’m one. And I’m one of those people who swore they would never vote for McCain. (And I hope he gets a message from this........)
To: markomalley
Obama wants people to drive to swing states and persuade the undecided? Not a very green strategy, that.

There are not enough intelligent, productive taxpayers in Kalifornicate for the Republican party to make enough impact to push this decrepit state into the Right column.
Kalifornicate long ago achieved the critical mass driving in to ruin.......
It's already halfway down that proverbial slippery slope into the turd world toilet...
I've been here for over 30 years -— I've watched it happen...
It's real.

So Californians seeking to get involved in either campaign have options: pick up the phone, get on a plane, or hop in a car and contact a voter in a swing state that's still in play. Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado are the closest swing states. Most of the Great Lakes states are still up for grabs, and Florida always beckons.
Palin has the SF Chronicle so scared they're trying to hustle Republicans out of the state!
Now that is power!
Don't be fooled, fellow Californians. Proposition 8 will ensure conservatives are out in full force this election, and 0bama did poorly here in the primary, losing by 10 points when he was supposedly surging to a lead in the polls the night before.
With neither senate seat nor governor up for election, an early night for McCain could mean a suppressed Democrat turnout and a GOP victory in CA.

Great point about he Hispanics, Catholic Hispanics who worked hard to gain legal citizenship could not vote for a Muslim.

Lizzy Gore was tired of preaching to the blue choir when she was living in Redwood City during the primaries this year and found the same unanimity when she moved to Rhode Island three months ago. So last week, she began an online campaign at thepoint.com where she started raising money for a newspaper ad that would argue that Palin would not be a good vice president. If the online effort raises $21,285, she will buy and place the ad in the Cincinnati Enquirer in swing state Ohio. This is legal? Why have contribution limits if they can be evaded so easily?

This is legal? Why have contribution limits if they can be evaded so easily? I'm assuming it's a 527 that would raise the money.
What I find hilarious is the notion that a full-page ad in a paper in Cincinnati funded by a bunch of Left Coasters will persuade swing voters.
If anything I suspect it will have the opposite effect (just like that whole 2004 British effort to write letters to people in a county in Ohio to get them to vote for Kerry).

Don't be fooled, fellow Californians. Proposition 8 will ensure conservatives are out in full force this election, ......and the 9th Circus with ACLU help will overturn it just as fast.

Sodom Francisco, Kalifornicate, and the Cornholicle are truly Bizzaroworld. They refuse to notice that the decent of the state into everything evil and perverted has reached light speed. Never have so many perverted socialist criminals been concentrated in one place and in government, in the history of democracies.
The good news is that all the leftists including the Cornholicle are so abusive of their positions that they are universally hated, even among their own party.
The state WILL fail, and there will be no cover for the leftists, they're the only ones in power.

The Obama camp knows that they cannot attract any new voters to Obama. They can only rely on turnout at this point. I think we will see a shift in their strategy to just getting the vote out. Obama has peaked and has not been able to come up with anything new and exciting. McCain/Palin should make a slow but steady gain over the next few weeks until the election as the fence sitters go with them. We will see one “leaning” state after another go with McCain.

I may be wrong, but I thought 527’s could not advocate for or against a specific candidate, only for or against an issue.

I just don’t see a full page ad in any newspaper in Ohio doing much at all. Ohio Dems loved Hillary but don’t think much of Obama plain and simple.

“I’ve been here for over 30 years - I’ve watched it happen... It’s real.”
I hear you. I lived the first 28 years of my life in California, aside from the four years I was in the USAF. I fled the place in 1979 because it had changed from being paradise to fast becoming a third-world hellhole. I was out there last month for a function and I can say without reservation that the place is too far gone to save.
