Obama's numbers in OH stink, and PA isn't much better. He's hurting in FL. McCain's putting on the pressure in NH, WI, MN, IA, CO, VA and rumor has it even MI again. And McCain/Palin are just now employing their ad blitz. Life is good, and barring a major October/November surprise the lightweight Marxist has been defeated.
But we still have plenty of work to do. There are a bunch of vulnerable freshmen Dem representatives in the House. The GOP has about 20 realistic pick-up opportunities. See my list below:
AL-05
AZ-05
CA-11
GA-08
IL-14
KS-02
KY-03
LA-06
MS-01
NH-01
NH-02
NY-20
PA-07
PA-08
PA-10
PA-11
TX-22
TX-23
WI-08
And my personal favorite! PA-12 (tough, but doable thanks to Murtha the Marine smearing racist)
Details on these races (website links, voting percentages, fundraising numbers, etc.) are here spread throughout this thread.
The current count is Dems 233, GOP 202. The Pubbies unfortunately do have to defend a lot of seats due to retirement. To retake the House they'd need to basically run the table on defending those seats and win about 16 of those above pick-up opportunities. Possible, but not likely. However, a solid McCain/Palin win in this anti-incumbent environment could provide enough of a push. And just cutting into the Dems' current 31-seat lead, after months of them gloating, will be very demoralizing.
If you've been thinking about donating your time and/or money, now's the time.
Listening to Oboredom for 30 mins is going to lose more votes than it will gain. How many rednecks are going to want to listen to his drolling cliches rather than watching the WS? Not many.

Keeping sports fans from their game?
Oh yeah, that's a winner.

It ain’t over until the Colt goes to sleep
We all need to remember who controls the media, controls the party weighting in the polls, their aggregate outlook, and their AIM TO KEEP US HOME! DON'T LET THEM KEEP YOU HOME!
In the words of John Paul Jones: I have yet begun to fight!
After Pearl Harbor, it looked like Japan had control of the Pacific. When North Korea invaded SK, it looked like SK would fall immediately. When Hitler blitzed France, it looked like he was unstoppable. Heck, back during the Revolution, it looked as though the Brits could never be defeated. And when Robert E. Lee was invading the North and almost reached DC, it looked like the North had lost.
Then we had Gettysburg, Midway, Washington crossing the Deleware, Greene crossing the Dan River, and other moments which turned conventional wisdom on its head.
New tagline:
Sounds like B.O. ad over-saturation . There is a point where you can run too many ads , as they tend to annoy and lose effectiveness .
Oh, the hilarity.
I am indeed amused. :-D
Why, thank you! :-)

PING!!!
Obama just might get a big ole’ American Pie surprise on election day!!!
Sen McCain’s energy today in Cincy was Fantastic! The crowd was into the speech and lends credibility to McCain surging.
I have faith in the fed-up-American-voters.
At least here in So. Calif:
Business friend of mine said McCain Palin signs everywhere in Rancho Cucamonga - Ontario where they work/live.
McCain Victory GOTV workers canvassing the neighborhoods regularly.
People are getting involved like never before... they are fed up and one of the biggest issues is TAXES!
That’s really good to hear about So Cal. I’m not even ready to predict a GOP CA victory, but improved numbers there for McCain/Palin may help deliver CA-11 and perhaps even some other House seats. Go California!!
“It’s regular America vs. the media. And I want them absolutely crushed and humiliated the night of Nov. 4th.”
What gives me pleasure? To crush my enemies, drive them before me and hear the lamentations of their women.

The word really seems to be that Obama’s in trouble in PA. Since Ohio runs about 5 points to the right of PA, I can understand why they’re psyched up. :-) If Obama loses PA, chances are good he’ll lose WI. And maybe MN, IA and MI!!
I’m hoping for the House too.
A healthy showing against the ONE wouldn’t be too bad either!
