I talked to a friend who called 300 people yesterday in the area, and he said 80% are voting Republican.

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.

In my opinion, when someone calls asking for you to tell who you’re voting for, you may feel ashamed to say McCain. If someone calls supporting McCain asking for you to vote for him, you will be more than happy to talk to them. That’s my opinion, and I dunno how much weight it will hold, but it makes sense to me.
