Obama Writes Off Florida and Ohio: Concedes Must Win Some Republican States
The Patriot Room ^ | June 16, 2008 | Bill Dupray

Posted on 06/16/2008 11:25:53 AM PDT by Bill Dupray

So much for the 50 State Strategy, announced just last week. The Obama campaign admits neither FL and OH "was hospitable to Obama this year." Even three states Kerry won (PA, MI, NH) "look competitive" for McCain. Obama will try to pick off VA, NM, and others to make up the difference. Is Obama the underdog in this Year of the Democrat?

...then this election isn’t going to be the Obama landslide the MSM thinks it will.

Change that to "The MSM wants it to be"

“My mother-in-law seems to think McCain has a reasonable shot of winning Massachusetts as well.”

Let's get real people, this is delusional thinking. Obama will win MA in a landslide because he has the one and only qualification it takes to win here : a D after your name. No matter what Obama does or what comes out about him, he will win 60% of the vote here. MA is not even in play. NH maybe but this is Kennedy land folks.

I think Obama will lose nationwide in a land slide but nit in MA. If you don't live here like I do you have no idea how hideously liberal this place is.

My MIL LIVES in Mass. My wife used to.

Others are also not convinced that MA will be the walk for Obama that you and many others (understandably, don’t get me wrong) think it will be.

Mass. voters lean liberal, but for the most part (outside Boston and Cambridge) they are still patriots. Kerry and Gore were able to present themselves as patriots, but Obama cannot.

Also - there are more Independent voters in Massachusetts than Democrats IIRC - McCain simply appeals more to them.

If Obama is writing off key swing states, then the Dem convention may not be a coronation.

There is no way he isn't going to be nominated. And I think it's too early to be writing off Ohio. Wishful thinking on the author's part.

I think a lot of gun-toting Bible-reading Union democrats will have no problem voting for McCain rather than a commie like Obama.

I think you're right. But how many? That's the question. And I think it's too early to be answering it. The picture should look a lot clearer come late September and October.

Some will riot IMO if Obama wins or loses.

Yep. They riot when their favorite team loses a basketball/football/baseball game too.

Gilmore is a sacrificial lamb. He was never that popular, way less popular than Allen.

If he loses New Jersey, he’s still got 56 other states to fight for.
