Obama needs a minmum of 90% of his base to win and he isn’t going to get anywhere near that. If he gets 85% on election day he’s going down BIG TIME, many dems will stay home, but the ones who vote McCain are a NET TWO votes, a double whammy.

Kerry got 89% and LOST, no way Obama appeals to the base as much as Kerry. McCain has better appeal to independents than Bush did. Obama will NOT get the same percentage of the female vote that Kerry got, you can bank on that. I really see no way Obama can win. Obama put himself in check choosing Biden, McCain played Palin - Check Mate.

Agreed. And Obama has done nothing to endear himself to those voters and he still doesn't have almost all his party behind him. I don't see that changing in the month left before the election.

Rasmussen poll:

Nationally, 63% say that McCain is prepared to be President while 44% say the same about Obama.

Among voters not affiliated with either major political party, 71% say McCain is prepared for the Presidency while just 35% say the same about Obama.
