So the real answer is “Bush happened.”

I gather it's different elsewhere, but I personally don't know a single VA conservative who is supportive of the bailout. Everybody I talk to is fit to be tied. If McCain had come down on the right side of this issue VA wouldn't even be in play.

I think McCain/Palin will carry Virginia. I do not believe the polls are anyway telling this time. Too many factors that cannot be figured into the final tally.

[Norman Bates]

I don’t believe that. Obama voted for the bailout.

[Citizen Blade]

But my gut tells me it's lights out for McCain here. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt I am.

I'm trying to keep an open mind. But I think we'll know fairly early on election night. If Virginia goes for Obama, it's going to be a blowout. We shall see, but I'm not especially confident at this point.

[Swing_Thought]

I don’t believe that. Obama voted for the bailout.

Conservatives won't be voting Obama... too many just won't be voting McCain. Too many might not be voting at all.

Look, the reality is that Warner (D) is well ahead of Gilmore for senate. If I were in a district represented by a Rino I might see no reason to vote at all.

VA, I fear, will be this year's FL... but we'll go the wrong way.

“If I were in a district represented by a Rino I might see no reason to vote at all.”

Obama as President? Come on man!

[Swing_Thought]

Confession to everybody...

I AM a glass is half empty kinda guy.

[Cedric]

The other side's base is really energized. My gut tells me we're not

You couldn't possibly be more wrong.

But thanks for sharing.

[Swing_Thought]

No worry. I’m solid.

If Obama loses Pennsylvania it will be an early night.

[ladyvet]

OK here we go again! Those of you that are sniveling in the corners in a fetal position shaking worried about polls need to spend that time for the cause! VOTE! VOLUNEER! It's only a damn week! Get your butts out there...DO SOMETHING besides piss and moan! Screw the polls..stay the course!!!!

So you feel this is similiar to Dole’s effort back in ‘96?

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

>>I once thought VA couldn't go Obama. I now think we will.<<

What you me "we," Kemo Sabe?

If Virginia goes to BO I don't see how McC can win.

[TaxRelief]

LOL. I don't believe any survey conducted by students.

[TaxRelief]

This was conducted by college students... the same people that steal my campaign signs.

I don’t buy it.

i live in VA and my husband is a gloom and doomer like you. i don’t think that VA will go for Obama. i know my gloom and doomer is quite often wrong with his worst case scenarios, as i imagine you are, as well : )
