I'd be absolutely amazed if Georgia went for Obama. I'm not buying into the hype. It'll go for McCain and probably by more than 5%.

Virginia, on the other hand, will be Obama's and that will signal the end of this election.

I don't think Obama will carry GA, thankfully we are playing on GOP turf...all we need to do is a pluck a few red ones and we're home free..

Yeah, that's also the same part of Georgia where the Confederate flag out numbers the US flag 50 to 1.

According to reports a few weeks back, Obama is leading in polls in the Atlanta Metro Area by approximately 12 percentage points. I see a lot more Obama bumper stickers and signs around here, and not just from blacks ....
