We have a tendency to cling to our “guns and religion.”

St. Clair county can go either way. It really depends on the voter turnout in East St. Louis and Belleville. The democrats have a pretty good stronghold here in St. Clair and Madison counties.

I wouldn’t hold your breath. Until the IL GOP divorces itself from the Combine, you’re only going to end up with a liberal RINO candidate that will likely be beaten. In fact, if Obama loses, I’ll say there’s better than even odds he will run for Governor in 2010.

If that happens then consider me no longer a resident of this state.

Colorado yes, NM, I don’t think so. I think it goes democrat this time around. Now I do think Penn is a very interesting state and one that McCain has a very good chance to fleece from the dems.

gee this was a poll of people who regularly vote in state elections

In ridiculously democrat states

If only people who do NOT usually vote in state elections would get up off their butts and help prevent a marxist class envy racist and her husband from being elected

Uh, ok. So what? Hasn’t this been the case, like, since for the entire campaign?

I would really like to see a poll of non-urban America-even a poll that questioned in cities less than 100,000. Does anyone have any stats on the rural “Main Street” vote?

Read earlier. As one comment noted, it is a push poll.

Bear in mind that a great many who post there are not from the QCT area, don't know what the percentage would be.

I figured Iowa would go blue a long time back. Remember Obama made his first spectacular win in Iowa, beating Hillary. Still, people out in the rural areas who work hard don't have internet access as good as we city folk so most boards are predominately urbanites, and many in the rural areas of Iowa are very conservative.

Before the Iowa primaries, the QCT came out endorsing Hillary. Then a day or so later, endorsed McCain for the Republicans. Now I think any Dem will do for them.

Thank goodness that McCain leads in Virginia and Ohio and that 4 states which have been Democrat strongholds (Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, Pennsylvania) are all toss ups.

This is all according to RealClearPolitics as of today.

If McCain leads in VA and OH, then Obama leads in MI, WI, and PA, and MN is a tossup, to be fair. This using your definition of "leads in Ohio" (McCain is +1.6%).

You’re forgetting CO. McCain CANNOT win without CO, and he has trailed in the last two polls and in three of the last four.

Obama needs OH or CO - Has to have one of them - Right now the odds are above 50% that we keep both. We win. He loses.

This election is narrowing by the day in the strategic sense. Are only real shot at a pick-up is MI & NH. We will not win MN nor PA. The demographics nor the politics of those States make it possible. Ditto that for Wiskey, voter registration doesn't allow for a GOP win or an Obama loss.

Obama real shots at a pick-up (that matter) are OH (I doubt it), CO (toss-up big time), NM (likely) and IA (which by itself means nothing).

We must keep OH and CO (both).

Obama must keep MI.

McCain should STOP campaigning in Iowa. They are just too greedy for farm support giveaways.
