Look, I am sick to death of thinking Obama will be a President of this great nation. But I just can not believe that every poll, every pundit including conservatives, every news broadcast and every newspaper is wrong. Ok, so let’s say out of the 65,000 who attended the rally, 60,000 came only to see Springsteen and got Obama as a “bonus.” Do ya think maybe a percentage of them will be swayed to vote Obama because of Springsteen, which is why he was there to entertain in the first place? The open early voting facility, The Vets Memorial in downtown Columbus, was inundated with voters who waited in line for up to six hours to vote. Not that I am profiling or anything like that but I would say in watching the local news that 80% of them were not of the white race. Do ya think they came to vote for McCain? This is only one city out of thousands in the country that have had the same results. I am praying I am wrong and believe me, I would love to eat some crow and will let you feed it to me all day long. But we better be prepared for President OOOOOOOOBAMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAA.
Get it together mate, you're cracking up.
Don’t get down. Cleveland’s a hell hole. It’s a dirty, rust-belt city (much like Buffalo) and those people probably voted for Kerry, too. I know that here in WNY, it’s as Dem as they come. No way McCain will win NY. But I’m going out to vote for him anyway. Cleveland is not representative of the rest of Ohio.
I think most people attend Hussein’s functions because it’s like a bloomin’ freak show. Listen to the Hitler protege’s rousing speech in person. There’s a fascination there, for whatever reason. I don’t think it necessarily means all in attendance will vote for him. It may be a curiosity thing. He is ALL OVER the news 24/7, after all.

Toespi, it is harder for me to believe Obama will get 55% of the popular vote than to believe McCain will win. I can see him getting around 50%, but he is not going to get 55%. The crowds you mention are irrelevant, as Gore (Tom Petty), and Kerry (Springsteen, Mellencamp, Sheryl Crow) all had massive 50,000 to 80,000+ rallies all over America.
Only 12% of Ohio are blacks and most of them voted early.
