You mean, like Obama's abysmal performance in PA during the primaries? The fact that PA was a very closely contested state in both 2000 and 2004, and now they are running a Republican who will be stronger in PA than Southerner Bush was against a Democrat who will be weaker than Gore or Kerry? Or that "bitter people who cling to religion and guns" comment in San Francisco?
Gee, I dunno what the McCain people could possibly be thinking. After all, there are all those PA polls with 15 point Dem samples showing Obama up by 13 points. Doesn't McCain believe these polls?
I think the little secret that no one in McCain, Obama and the MSM is mentioning is the Blue Dog and Hillary Dems who will not vote for Obama. Call it racism, call it revenge for Obama & ACORN screwing Hillary & her supporters, call it some people are actually worried about Obama’s terrorist pals, or whatever.
Also do Blue Dog Dems think Obama has foreign connections, muslim, friends with terrorists, etc. all the disturbing issues Obama has. These Blue Dogs are very patriotic and they are heavily in SE and many in the rust belt. I know they are in N and Central FL. NC, VA, OH and PA.
We saw it in the primaries. In FL in the primaries - 68% of Democrats voted against Obama. My guess is any state Hillary did well in - Obama will lose. What were the states where she had blowouts? PA? OH? Even MI?
These voters in their heads will have many conflicting demands:
1. Pro-Obama thoughts - Party, Union etc
2. Anti-Obama thought - Obama’s very questionable background, NRA is against Obama, maybe abortion, race, bitter clingers, racist/redneck slurs.
I think Obama will have a very tough time in states Hillary beat him in. If Obama loses, the Clintons regain the Dem Party. If Obama wins - the Dem Party becomes the Obama ACORN Dem Party.
