Karl Rove was on TV today and said he feels confident VA and FL will come through for McCain. So obviously the GOP interals are showing good things with those two states.
Ohio also appears to be trending towards McCain. But Obama is campaigning hard there. So we cant call that one safe yet.
The race is coming down to Colorado unless we can pick off a blue state. And right now McCain is within 3 points in 6 blue states. So it is possible.
Yeah, but Karl thought we’d hold both houses in 2006, so I don’t trust “internals.” FWIW, I think OH is slipping away from Obama, and I think FL is long gone. CO is his only hope.
Obama’s latest gaffe about Mac not being “cool” enough to learn to use e-mail will really endure him in Pa, OH, and CO. The GOP needs to hammer Obama on that gaffe. When I learned about that news I really wanted to give Obama a black eye.
Not true. Assuming OH and FL stay as is, we don’t need CO.
Four smaller states will tell the tale, NM, NV, CO and NH.
If 0bama wins three of four, he’s in. If he takes CO and either NM or NV, it’s 269-269 and goes to the Congress.
McCain is trending ahead in NM and NV right now. Encouraging in the status quo scenario.
We will pick off a few blues.
PA, MI and WI are all MUST wins for Fauxbama, and He’ll drop at least 2 of these IMHO, and he can’t afford to lose any of them. He MIGHT be able to make up a WI loss, but he cannot make up the loss of MI or PA.
I also would keep my eye on WA as well, I think this is going to wind up a big suprise come election day. Lot of outrage on the ground over the blatant theft of the governorship 4 years ago by the dems and moveon.org etc.
OHIO, FL and VA are not going to flip, wishful thinking by dems on those.
