Well that should be encouraging to you. I live in a part of Ohio that is very much like the entire country, split. I talked to a friend who called 300 people yesterday in the area, and he said 80% are voting Republican.

Even in Western PA where Blue spouts from every cut, McCain/Palin signs out number Obama signs 4 to 1, no joke!!!

I come here to be encouraged, everywhere else I go depresses me. That’s why I replied to your post.

Now, thats encouraging.

My impression is that more Dems are crossing over by far than Republicans. A lot of older Dems will vote McCain, likewise a lot of blue-collar Dems, just as a cultural thing. Most of the sit-it-out Repubs have been convinced to vote. Most of the non-political evangelicals have been convinced to vote, and most of them will go McCain. McCain will do slightly better among jewish voters than Bush did last time.

Obama normally couldn't win except by motivating sit-at-home Dems to vote this time, and by convincing apolitical college age kids to vote. Thats the only way he can overcome the cross-over Dems.

He may do it, but I don't trust the press to tell us what is actually happening. In all the years I've been complaining about the press, this year is the worst I've ever seen it.
