If PA does go Red, there's a good chance of WI and MN following suit. I expect that to happen.

Reducing Senate GOP losses will depend on McCain coattails. If he wins, the Democrats will pick up about three or four seats. That makes it 54-46 or 55-45. We don't want Harry Reid to get a filibuster-proof Senate.

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?

I was going to say that he's hearing the same thing we're now hearing: that Zero's numbers are hugely inflated and that the voter ID samples are absurdly skewed toward democrats.

See Freeper LS's predictions on this thread:

Congratulations, President . . . McCain
The recent posts at Hillbuzz from the campaigner who spilled the beans about Obama's strategy (actually just confirming what many already suspected) have also emboldened conservatives to get out and vote in spite of the dismal polling numbers.

Surprising, given Fred hasn’t been too keen on his chances in the past few weeks.

What was his reasoning? What did he give as McCain’s path to victory? PA?

Yep, like all the networks....they know the score.

Calling it for McCain, was just trying to shore up his readers, I imagine he has been getting a lot of hate mail these days for not reporting on Hussein.

Like all “reporters” they want a black guy to slobber over, so they protected him like the affirmative action candidate he is.

Dr. Wheeler believes Hillary will be the new majority leader in the Senate. Harry Reid is out.

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.

Who am I to argue with this year's great soothesayer!!!

PS -- What's the stock market going to be at on Nov 15?

The Reality Poll held steady today at:

McCain 52%
Obama 47%

Senator John McCain is projected to win 331 electoral votes to His Lord, Our Savior, the Most Magnificient Socialist in the World, Barack Obama’s 207 electoral votes.

Obama could conceivably lose the Electoral College while winning the popular vote by the current 3-5 margins shown in the national opinion polls.

He does it by winning core blue states going away (as seems likely), keeping it much closer than usual in deep South states (as also seems likely), while still narrowly losing the critical states of Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania because McCain lifts more white votes there than Obama gains in black turnout.

What Obama is hoping for is the true 5+ landslide that will almost certainly imply the retained white working class loyalty that flips Ohio and Florida and retains Pennsylvania, which assures victory.

No offense to LS but he doesbn’t know any more than I do though I think very highly of him. I think Fred has seen some data plotted on graphs showing McCain closing and other graphs extrapolating early voting based on turnout from past elections. But I could be wrong about everything I just said. :-}

Governor Palin and the White-haired dude will win,

310 EV to 228 for Obambi and Hair Plugs

There, I’ve gone out on a limb......

I admit that 310 is more hope than analysis, but that’s my prediction and I’m sticking to it!!!

He's guessing but I am PRAYING for a McPain victory.

We cannot have the Obomination as our next President.

If McPain does win, then we have to reeducate him and make him a conservative.

Excellent question. I think it has a lot to do with God's gift to the McCain campaign -- Joe the Plumber.
