Yes, it would because if it weren't for Obama's unexpected initial win in the primaries, things could be a lot different now. I think there are only 7 electoral votes. My area is heavily blue, so I don't have a feel for the mood in the rest of the state.
There were tons of Obama signs around town early on, but haven't seen many lately, not that they will have changed in the metropolitan area, don't know why that is, maybe you have to buy Obama signs, and I can probably get a McCain one for free but am hesitant to put it in my yard, might anyway.
I think I read in the on line Clinton Herald that Obama was to be in Clinton tomorrow..I am originally from Clinton..too bad our town is going to be sullied by the likes of him..Clinton is a river city and just north of Davenport..I went to college in Davenport.
