My expectation as well. McCain by a slim majority.

This surprises me given everything he has said in the past few weeks.

All well and good at this point. Why the cold feet earlier after longing for McCain in the primary season as the only one that could pull the Republican party together?.

Curious and lame.

Wasn’t the Beltway Boys show predicting an Obama win just a couple of weeks ago?

Have it both ways?

I think its playing it safe. McCain will get well over 300EV. There's that bandwagon effect. These are the same folks who just last week told us Obama had the election wrapped up!

Since I picked the Phillies to win the Series and Jimmie Johnson (at the beginning of the Chase races seven races ago) to win the Sprint Cup, I think I’m pretty safe with my pick of John McCain for president. I’m on a roll.

Something happened to change Freds mind. He was sure Barack was gonna win for the longest time. Wonder what he knows that we don’t?

They're just a bunch of educated asses who stick their finger in the wind and see which way it blows. They don't want to be wrong so they're a tad timid.

I think we keep VA and get PA. With both it is very unlikely Obama wins.

Barnes is a bandwagon guy. He’s always looking to jump on the latest bandwagon. He moistens his finger and sticks it up in the air, though rumor has it one day when he did that his finger almost went up OBamBam’s butt.

But I digress, evidently his consultation of the tea leaves and his personal Shamin has left him with the impression that McCain will pull this one out (hope he’s right).

Can someone smarter than me do an electoral map that comes out to 279 given the current polls?

Same here - the night of the final debate, Barnes and the entire All Star Panel were practically gushing over The One.

279 suggests that McCain wins VA/NV/CO/NM and loses PA/IA.

Well that sure is a switch. He was sure Obama had it in the bag. I will catch him tomorrow morning on Chris's show.
