You mooses have been warned.
interesting
stealthy moves up there...good work McCain team
1 electoral vote is up for grabs there.
The last ME poll was 3 weeks ago, and it had Obama at +5 in ME, right now ME is closer then NH is.
I know this is a longshot. But if McCain takes all Bush states except IA, NM, and CO, but flips NH and manages to win 1 EV from Maine, it would end up 270-268 for McCain. You think the DEMs would lose it if that happens?
That is a VERY plausible scenario too.
its a last case strategy...
but we are working three electoral strategies right now.
its good you have discovered last case on your own.
there is a 274 projection as well.
My sister-in-law is a marginal moonbat living in northern Maine and if her district gave up that vote to put McCain/Palin over the top I probably won't be able to get near her for 4 years.
I would guess that the 274 projection is Bush 2004 minus IA and NM. As to a third strategy, I would have to guess that involves flipping PA, which means McCain could lose a couple more Bush 2004 states but still win.
well there ya go...
:)
I asked on another thread last night why are they visiting NH and ME, and not going to CO. Maybe they are looking at this 270-268 scenario. Bottom line is the campaign stops are dictated by internal polling, which must look better than public, since they are still visiting PA as well.
BGR is only 2 hours away but not that early in the am. Went to see Bush in 04.
I would LOVE to see her do a stop in Newton, Massachusetts, Barney Frank’s hometown. I would LOVE to hear her attack him there on the the steps of City Hall.
Yeah she might get lots of boos but I think it would play well nationwide - getting attacked by Barneyworld.
I question whether the whole state is up for grabs, but it's possible that the Second Congressional District is.
Just an anecdote, but my husband and I took a leaf peeping drive last week and were counting McCain-Palin and Obama lawn signs. We figured about 50 to 1 for McCain-Palin.
And we know some life-long, dyed-in-the-wool Democrats who say that "no way" are they voting for Obama.
Been driving by the Bangor McCain campaign office for the past week and every day there are more and more cars out front, looks like a WHOLE LOT of activity going on there.
Steven King has his Obama sign on his front lawn, of course, uber-moonbat that he is.
Ping!
“We figured about 50 to 1 for McCain-Palin.”
Really? That many?
Wow, she’s going to be busy. She’s in Maine and North Carolina on Thursday.
We drove for quite a while before seeing a single Obama sign.
