CHICAGO - What do states like Georgia, South Carolina, North Dakota and even Arizona have in common?
They’re all reach states that the Obama campaign now believes could be in play.
Thanks in part to an astonishing $150 million take in September, the Democrat has his eyes on some unlikely prizes, including McCain’s own home turf.

F***ing brilliant! Unlike a lib you MADE your point. And you did it in a quiet, thoughtful and intelligent way. Good going!
Remember how his decision to move his convention speech to the football stadium pretty much started to backfire on him and it was too late to back out... wait until Palin gets wind of this, it will be in all he speeches the rest of this week and next.
I thought the same thing when I saw that victory stage. Although doesn’t both sides build a victory stage every four years, either way, that story and the Obama story talking about the transition team got me depressed, these stories do have a psychological effect, then I realized that nothing is over.
With all of these stories you start to question if you are denying reality but there is so much evidence these polls are bogus, we shall see, keep the faith.
Good Luck with that Obama, how’s that “spread the wealth around” idea working for ya in Arizona?
You do know that every Arizonan has to pass a test to show he/she can shoot the eye out of a rattlesnake at 50 paces drunk on red eye with their hair on fire, right?
Just asking....stay outta Arizona...or we’ll sic John and the Baracuda on ya!
“but Hussein is not building his victory stage for nothing.”
Of course not.

How Much Could Polls Change In Six Days?
Obi-Wan reappeared briefly to answer my question about why so many liberal readers get furious when I highlight polling data showing that Obama’s not running away with the race...
“Why are they angry? Because their whole strategy relies on a demoralized GOP. Remember the scare they had in September?” Obi-Wan asked. “All that coronation stuff at the Democratic convention dissolved as McCain seized and held a good lead. They know how fragile things are. They need to keep the media talking about a massive GOP defeat, because all it might take is a few stories to the contrary and all of a sudden, it is mid-September again, when the rising McCain tide was lifting all boats.”
Now SNAP OUT OF IT SOLDIER!
ON YOUR FEET!
FIGHT!
No wonder the MSM likes Obama.
He is personally delivering them a bailout package with his ad buys.
Cheers.
Go ahead Obama...I approve this way to spend your money! Just keep it out of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, and Colorado.
How was he in 2006. Why does everyone omit these? I would hope that he was off in 2006 too.
The entire staff at the charter school our children were attending are Obama people. Well, maybe not all of them. There could be a PUMA or two among them. But they are committed leftists, that’s for sure. Our children were minorities in more ways than one at that school. They’re minorities again in the school where we moved them. (racial minorities) Our second son gave us the vote count from his social studies teacher’s classes, and there were about 5 votes out of 25-30 students in each of the teacher’s classes. (5 classes) The good news is that these children don’t vote, and it’s likely that most of their parents don’t vote either. The other good news is that of our sons’ 12 teachers, 10 of them are McCain supporters. Our high schooler has 5 out of 7 teachers who are McCain supporters.
People making dumb choices is the rule here in the land of fruits & nuts.
Then I'm going to assume you're not from Sedona or Tucson.
Alternate theory: Obama is a money machine but can’t lock down the core Red states he thought he was going to get easily. Now he has to desperately search for mor EV votes in hostile territory.
Just a theory.
Are you saying that they’re trying to get Arizonans to drive to NM to see Obama? If Obama wants/needs Arizonans votes, then he should come to Arizona. I would love for him to come to Tucson. Or send Biden. It’s educational for our children.
I was born and raised in North Dakota and I can tell you that it is IMPOSSIBLE for Obama to take that state. They are for McCain and Sarah ALL THE WAY. In fact, there is NO ONE in my family or circle of friends there that are voting for Obama. No one I’ve spoken to even KNOWS of anyone planning to vote for Obama. Bunch of rednecks, hicks, bitter clingers, and racists, I know. /sarc
My prediction is that McCain will kick Obama’s sorry butt 74%-26% on Nov. 4. (And the 26% is the percentage of the population that lives in and around Fargo. They’ve gone nuts in that corner of my great state. It’s all the Minnesotans moving in....)
However, I’d love for him to think he’s got a shot and blow all kinds of money there. He should even waste, sorry - I mean spend a day of this last 13 days and hold a rally or two.
~LOL~ Nope!

I’m not sure, I went over there to find the results and the two links I clicked on were for members only.
What ACORN is doing is messing with the polls.
What pollsters do is determine what percentage of registered voters are actually going to vote.
Say 70 percent of each party including independents are going to vote. They take 70 percent of the registered voters of republicans, democrats and those that do not select a party and add those results together. That gives them the total number of registered voters who will vote.
Then they figure the percentage of the total vote for each party. That is how they come up with 42 percent of the voters will be Democrats. They then count the way the Democrats are going to vote represents 42 percent of the total vote.
That makes their results off by the number of fake names that ACORN has registered. When in fact the turn out even in 2006 (a bad republican year) was 38 percent Democrats to 35 percent Republicans and 27 percent independents.
But this is not 2006 and due to the low approval rating of the Demorat controlled congres it is likely to be 35 percent Democrats to 35 percent Republicans and 30 percent Independents. McCain is getting a significant vote from white working class Democrats over their fear of what Obama will do with affirmative action. McCain can win if he can just split the Independent vote with Obama. But it looks like McCain is wining the independent vote.
So if the media is not able to discourage Conservative voters enough so they won’t vote for McCain, then McCain has a very good chance of wining.
There are some conservative who beleive that if RINO McCain loses to very LEFTIST Obama they can take the Republican party back. That has never in our history worked. Look at what the FDR wins did to the Republican party. They ran RINOS in 1936, 1940 1944 1948 and finally elected one in 1952.
In fact Harry Truman had offered to help Ike get the Demoratic nomination in 1952 but Ike turned him down. Not on ideology but on the fact that he did not think one party should hold the presidency for more than 20 years.
Losing parties always move in the direction of the winner. DUH!!! Party leaders aways reason that to get a majority of the voters they have to move in the same direction of a majority of voters.
If the majority of voters moved left, then their next candidate needs to be more to the left. If a Republican wins the Demorcrats reason they need to move more to the right. That pushed the Republican party to the right so as to oppose the Democrats.
The more republicans win the more it pushes the party to the right. And the more it causes the Democrats to move more to the right. The more the Democrats win the more it pushes them to the left and the Republicans follow to the left.
Elect an IKE and a NIXON and the next thing you know you have a REAGAN running for office and wining.
If McCain loses and the mostly conservative Bush is terribly unpopular, the Republicans will go far left in 2012.
Sarah will not get the nomination in 2012 or 2016 if McCain is defeated. Losing VP candidates never get the nomination the next times out. The only losing VP to become president was FDR. He lost as VP in 1920 but had to win the governorship of new york and wait 12 years for the losing VP candidate image to wear off.
MSNBC = Morons Shilling Numbly - Barry’s Channel
They’ve been trying for weeks. I’m sure that’s because their own polling shows he can’t win az.
The want arizonans to “drive for change” and harass people in NM
