It looks like Rich Lowry is going to have to work a little harder to keep that invite to the Chuck Todd all male Election night hottub party.

Rich, we look at numbers, not propaganda from the modern day Joseph Goebbels. I would suggest adding A*sholerod to your spam email list. Either that, or quit calling it the corner, and start calling it the DUMPSTER

from your keyboard to God’s ears, john.

I think I will weep tears of thankfulness and joy if the Lord chooses to deliver us from a Hussein presidency.

[RED SOUTH]

EVEN IF WE WIN THIS , I am going to continue to be very afraid for the future of this country. Just the fact that
a racist black liberationist , marxist with a terrorist
for a friend , could be this close to winning.

There are a lot of idiots in this country ....

[Carley]

Daughter voted early in Douglas County. That county is RED RED RED

[snarkytart]

LOL...Loves it!!

Lowry is an embarrassment.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

now use the 75% rats supporting Obama like the unconfirmed “best estimates” guess from the anon blogger posts at hillbuzz et. al> Ouch!

[johncocktoasten]

It is darkest before the dawn my FRiend. A McCain Victory would mean the following:

1. The absolute death blow to the Drive By Media

2. The death blow to the Democrat party as it is currently constructed (If they couldn’t win this one, when the hell are the ever going to win?)

3. With the accomplishment of numbers 1 and 2, this nation won’t be flooded with the non stop barrage of bilge we have today. That will allow us to all move forward together as a nation.

[exist]

Woah what happened? What did Lowry say?

[Balding_Eagle]

McCain - 665255 51.5%

Obama - 625698 48.5%

Percentage wise, that’s just about how I expect CO to finish 11-4-08

I have a feeling the Reagan era is back and will be back in full-force!!! We have heard all of this before from these commie marxists in our country. The USA does not react to well to Communism, Marxism, Socialism, Islam, Terrorism, Anti-Zionism, or anything else that smells like these do. And Obama has all of these eggs all over his face. Sarah Palin is the bright and shining light that so starkly contrasts with Obama it is refreshing. And John McCain is good too, but not nearly as awesome as Sarah.

[DAC21]

I think McCain will pull 94% of Repubs. Yes many will hold their nose...but they realize the alternative.

Not sure about Bambi losing 14% of DEMS, but it isn't out of the realm. If true I don't see how we don't break a bit better than 50% with IND.

[Cricket24]

Personally, I think those numbers should not be revealed before election day. No early voting should be revealed in any state!

[Cheerio]

There are a lot of idiots in this country ....

This country has taken a very sharp turn to the left with an entire generation believing in socialism and not wanting to take responsibility for their own actions. The class warfare propaganda has been pushed extremely hard by the DemocRAT party - Dean, Edwards, JFKerry, and now Lord Barack Øbama. Seems to me they have won this generation - what remains to be seen is whether they actually turn out and vote. Don't discount the cheating that will be taking place. In spite of this, I am praying that Palin/McCain can take it.

1. The absolute death blow to the Drive By Media

While the defeat of Obama and his Marxist henchmen is first and foremost in my mind, this particular bonus has been in my thoughts as well and would be ever so sweet.

[Thane_Banquo]

If WFB were still kicking, he’d have already fired Lowry. NR has been the locus of the “conservatives who hate Palin” movement. I believe Rich has been taking his marching orders from Chicago.

When, not if, O loses big-Hillary will tell everyone I told you so and will be the dem nominee in 2012. She is almost as unelectable as O. How do you get beat by and African American socialist who pals arond with terrorists?

McCain by a landslide. Print it.

[CSI007]

Only problem I see at this moment is the amount of voters who have not voted in Denver. This would be where Obama makes up the most significant ground. All of the red areas of the state appear to be in the low to mid 60% range.

[cousair]

Here Here!! I think all of us feel the same way. Our country is at stake....freedom and the only constant Democracy in the world. How this man, with questionable background, friends. birth certificate, and socialistic leanings could get this close to real power is a stagering thought. The coverup by the DNC and their willing leftwing MSM is total. Journalism is dead in this country. The press is no longer to be believed in anything they publish. Kind of reminds us of what Germany did in WW2 doesn’t it??
