FWIW, I disagree. Here in OH, Obama cannot win. The redneck Dems do not like him. There was a story a week ago about how NOW the southeastern Dem HQ is still spending its time trying to convince people O isn't a Muslim.

We need to worry about CO and VA. Those two=victory.

I agree LS. Obama cannot win OH. The race will be decided in CO and VA.

I do not know much about CO, but I would think that that area west of the Rockies and south of Denver will determine the result.

Frankly, I do not understand why VA is so tight. I think the historic trend will hold for at least one more cycle.

RICHMOND - State elections officials say 306,215 Virginians have registered to vote since the beginning of the year.

Board of Elections Secretary Nancy Rodrigues says that’s a 7 percent increase in total voters.

Nearly 4.9 million Virginians are now registered to vote as of Thursday.

The pattern of new registrations appears to favor Democrat Barack Obama, and the largest percentage increase was in heavily Democratic Richmond.

"Rock the Vote" bus [I think associated with ACORN] has visited the college capuses [VA-Tech, UVA, Radford, etc.] and registered students (primarily for Obama) and these students in the local news stories seem fired up to get out the vote for Obama.

It's going to take a huge Conservative turnout to counter this. I'm not saying there won't be, but Richmond, Tidewater and NoVA are three huge liberal chunks of the state and throw in the college campuses and you've got a significant challenge.

I agree. I’m also in Ohio and I just don’t see that BO has this big lead that the pollsters are telling us. Even my cranky, diehard Dem neighbor is voting McCain because he’s convinced BO is indeed a muslim. This is the neighbor that had several Kerry-Edwards signs and bumper stickers 4 years ago.

trying to convince people O isn't a Muslim

LOL. I think rationale people assume the meme that certain voters think O is a Muzzie is just an urban myth. However, you'd be wrong; I just found out my SIL, who has a grad degree in nutrition science, is certain he's a Muzzie.

If she thinks that, then I have to assume that millions of dyed-in-the-wool evangelicals share the same opinion. This is a huge advantage for us and is probably something that is not being picked up at all by the pollsters.

FWIW, I believe Hussein is agnostic. Everything he's done in his life, including being a member of Wright's church, is merely a stepping stone to get somewhere else.
