I’m not certain if this reflects the way the American people think BEFORE or AFTER the first debate.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Way too close.

We have work to do!

Put Palin out there campaigning PLEASE

the numbers do not look clear on breakdown....Virginia going Blue....very doubtful....

Well, McCain hasn’t been campagining and he hasn’t effectively fought back against Obama’s smears. The economy is always going to hamper a republican. The good news is that the polls are flexiable and will fluctuate between now and election day. Didn’t one poll have Kerry up by 4 on election day in 2004?

McCain needs to go negative and go negative hard.

I think McCain will take Pennsylvania and will put him over 270. Hillary cleaned Obama’s clock in PA and many of her supporters are voting for McCain, according to some sources.

That map includes leaners that are "too close to call".

Heres the actual RealClearPoltics Map, showing actual poll results:

Keep in mind they are using discredited polls such as ABC etc, and also please keep in mind these polls have never been 100% accurate and have even exceeded their margins of error. When they are right its probably more from luck than anything else.

It’s really inconceivable to me that the American people can be so stupid.

The fact is that whoever is elected in 2008 is going to inherit a nightmarish mess that perhaps no president can survive.

O, how I wish that the people who want socialism would move to some socialist country, and leave us who love freedom to pursue capitalism and liberty!

Hey, everybody, click back on 1984. It’s fun.

According to this map VA and Co are key. RealClearPolitics has them both in Obama's column for a total of 22 EV's. Put them in McCain's column and it's over.

For the record...I still expect McCain to win 40 -45 states.

I think we have to face the reality that the economic mess is going to stick on the Republicans up and down the ticket.

We need to get that settled down, give the facts a chance to percolate and then change the subject. Else, we will look a lot like France in 4 years.

[WalterSkinner]

..Pennsylvania, NH, VA and possibly CO go red in November

[pointsal]

Looks grim...

[Argus]

I’m bitterly clinging to my patriarchal sky god, my boomsticks and my giant unicycle made out of a big round rock, and voting for the old white guy.

Looking at the red/blue map, reminds of when I make my son a sandwich. He wants the edges cut off because the best stuff is in the inside. If we were to cut off the edges, for the most part, this would be nearly a totally red map.
