But I gotta tell you - in Iowa - where McCain was never expected to do anything because of his anti-Ethanol-subsidies stance, things are looking good.
McCain was never supposed to compete in the primaries in Iowa, but finished a strong third. He has a lot of quiet support in Iowa.
He has several visit planned there in the last 12 days, and I do not blame him. The anecdotal evidence I'm hearing backs up the IA GOP claims of a dead heat. A short while ago, I would have said McCain was dead in Iowa and the subsidies killed any chance; but that appears not to be the case.
There is a lot of groundswell for McCain in Iowa. Signs EVERYWHERE, and I mean EVERYWHERE.
McCain just might - might - pull off Iowa.
I do, however, think we need to prepare for the idea that McCain may win the Electoral College while losing the national vote by up to two full percentage points. It is a very real possibility.
Good news.......
“I do, however, think we need to prepare for the idea that McCain may win the Electoral College while losing the national vote by up to two full percentage points. It is a very real possibility.”
I’m content with that idea and I think it’s been a possibility in this race for a while.
