Each have 157 solid electoral votes, Obama with 45 leaning his direction, McCain with 59 leaning his direction, and 120 a toss-up. Not this year, Nobama!

but... but... but... the polls, the polls...



Some dems do not see what a few of us see, McCain will take more states and add the states that count to win this.


The polls, well. People are lying on them. They are being scared by Obama that if you do not vote for him something horrible will happen.

When it comes down to voting, McCain will win the electoral votes needed.

Your logic is flawed. Look at the toss up states, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan will most likely go Obama, if Mc Cain takes Nevada and Colorado and Obama takes either Ohio or Pennsyvania, Obama wins.

Obama has to take 4 of these 5 to win, Ohio, Pa, Florida, Va and Mich.

Not going to happen to make up for all the McCain states.

Sorry, I don't think so. McCain's up 1.2% in Ohio. I think he will win Ohio, Virginia and Indiana, and we'll see what else...

What nonsense. Obama will take every state in the Northeast and Midwest (except Ohio and Indiana). Obama will take CA, OR, WA, possibly CO, NV, and NM. Give the South to McCain and and Obama still wins.

Be serious. Spare us these Conservative desperation electoral maps.

Spare me.

Obama wont take all the midwest states. And if you were counting, if McCain takes Ohio and Fla and add in either Pa, Mich, Va it is all over.

The numbers are not looking good for your boy.

Have you looked lately, McCain is either tied or gaining in even the strong dem states like Minne and others.

Indiana-Mc Cain ahead 11
Michigan-Obama ahead 17

I think he'll probably pull Ohio and Indiana - why Ohio I don't know given the state of their economy - but I've been hearing enough rumblings on VA to think it's going to swing blue this time around.

Prediction for you people.

Something or someone will change this race for good, something Obama has done or one of his friends will come out a do or say something that will cost him more then you will want to see.

To much crazy stuff in his life that has not came out yet, and it will.

Remember both Rush and Hillary both have said they have something they will save for the right time. Believe me if Rush has something it will come out late Oct.

Something big will happen, wait and see.

Obama has been to protected so far.
