Barring an extraordinary shock, Barack Obama will win more than 270 electoral votes on Tuesday, giving him the White House. Hours before voting starts, John McCain has no clear path to reaching that same goal. In fact, based on interviews with political strategists in both parties, election analysts and advisers to both presidential campaigns - including a detailed look at public and private polling data - an Obama victory with well over 300 electoral votes is a more likely outcome than a McCain victory. Under the Electoral College system, a candidate wins all of a state's electoral votes as long as he or she achieves a popular vote victory of any margin. Obama's commanding position results from the fact that he holds seemingly impregnable popular vote leads in twenty-four states, plus the District of Columbia, with 291 electoral votes, more than he needs to win. Obama's geographic anchors are the northeast, the mid-Atlantic, the upper industrial Midwest and the west coast, all areas that Democratic presidential candidates have dominated for several election cycles. But he is encroaching on other states as well that have recently been gone dependably Republican, including Nevada, Virginia and Colorado.

NOTHING in the world will coerce me into voting for this hypocritical, empty suit who is nothing more than rhetoric and platitudes. I SOOO hope all of these bozos get egg on their face tomorrow.
Why do we post this BS?
McCain - my prediction 304 Electoral votes
It’s meant to demoralize McCain supporters. It’s meant to make people stay at home since McCain does not stand a chance. You can’t let it get to you! Prove them wrong by voting tomorrow! Have to go to work, but stay strong! :)
Even so there is a clear path to a victory.
We'll see what that poll, and what that math has to say.
The press has gone overboard with their obama propaganda efforts, that’s for sure. It’s ridiculous to print such stuff when the race is so even in so many states. Add on top of that the overweighting of dems, and yes, it’s going to be a shocker when McCain/Palin win.
After this election, I can never look at another one in the same way I used to.
Bush ‘04 states plus PA, MN, WI, and NH = 331 electors.
The pollsters are too smart for themselves. There lies, damned lies and statistics.
So kool-aid drinking Obamabots need to be bothered by wasting their time at the polls tomorrow. Afterall, ‘everyone’ that knows anything has already written McCain off...
hahaha.. beware the broken glass conservative supercharged with PUMA power... hahahah
Cheers, that would be the sweetest if we get to see everybody eat crow. In a way we have already won...we know we have the moral high ground, we have Sarah no matter what happens and if Obama does win we won’t be that shocked given every news report for the last 5 months. On the other if (when) McCain wins, it will be complete euphoria for us and the complete and total destruction of the other side.
Why post something that none of us believe because the polls are so skewed? For what purpose?
I saw this article on Yahoo this morning, as well. The title should have a BARF Alert. It made me want to throw up!
I am also sick and tired of the MSM manipulating us and being in the tank for the Obamanation. They want us to think that Obama will win in a landslide.
I think the opposite will happen! I think that we will win this election and the media will be so embarrassed and look like total idiots! They will be 100% humiliated! And, honestly, they deserve every bit of it!
The MSM has been so biased and so slanted that it’s beyond unfair.
Why do you post this crap????
just a caviat, don’t forget we were saying the same about dole polls.
Of course this time, ten years later we have a more developed new media and a more deteriorated dinosaur media.
This just means we have to TALK to our friends, TALK to our coworkers.
Yesterday an old timer was surprised I am not a voting for obama. I simply stated “I don’t vote for communists”. He gave the tired of 8 years meme.
My answer was simply McCain is not GWBush and obama is still a communist.
The shock value of calling him an outright communist REALLY WORKS!!!!
so TALK PEOPLE!!!
Mark Halperin is hyperventilating, I can tell. It happens when you actually believe the bogus made-for-TV polls, instead of noting the severe methodological problems with them and dismissing them as the garbage they are.
Face it folks, the publically-accessible polls are going to be of no value in predicting tomorrow’s outcome.
FWIW, my prediction as it stands is McCain wins, 299-239 EV.
We must remember America's enemies from this election. We must push for force full investigation of MSM political participation, funding and linkages.
Never forget.
.
Morning Joe was basically having a funeral for the McCain/Palin ticket, also saying Palin will lose him parts of Penn. blah blah blah. I just laughed at the TV..they are so full of it. They are going to be a pleasure to watch tomorrow night. Keep the faith and VOTE! ;)
MSNBC is going to go INSANE when obama starts filing court papers.
Remember obama is using the Odinga not the Rove master plan.
Democrats will push to delegitimize in order to obfuscate the transition.
Just like the Washington Post article posted earlier, these media clowns are trying to undo the damage they caused to their reputations and are now trying to appear objective. fair and balanced. They need us to continue supporting them with our “advertising” dollars. At least that way they will be around in 2012 to trash the next candidate we support. It’s no longer going to work for me. I won’t be forgetting what they did this election cycle. My money is my weapon.
Yes, and the polls then (Zogby excepted) showed Dole down by 22. He ended up losing by 8.
Is the media INTENTIONALLY creating these types of stories, so when OBAMA LOSES, blacks will riot or scream racism....a type of civil war? I wonder....
I think the media has created nothing more that an illusion not only about the "aura" of the chosen one, but also his attraction of voters.
In all seriousness, can that many Americans be this naive?
I know, dangerous question but being that this is the last day before the we learn what this Countries fate is, I'm holding on with faith in the American people.
That settles it...
Now that I know that this useful idiot can’t see how MAC can win this thing, I am more confident than ever that my prediction now and that of months ago that MAC IS going to win and win big is a safe bet.
“Hours before voting starts, John McCain has no clear path to reaching that same goal.

What BS. No way has Halperin gotten a complete analysis of the race. He is doing the usual pulling facts out of his ass. How could this guy discount the obvious gaffes by Obama and Biden that have definitely impacted the polls to make it favorable to McCain!!
not wonder, KNOW.
think about MSNBC’s worldview.
they can’t grasp how ANY conservative can win anything.
rove is saying the same thing.
Obama has more options to the 270.
McCain has basicly only one.
What happened to Zogby last night? I haven’t seen his latest polls.
He is probably just waiting to see what everyone else does.
You know, all of this talk about how 0bama doesn’t win, black people will riot. I say that when McCain wins this thing, we should riot...but not in the streets like these maniac libs would...we should riot the MSM so bad they will never forget us. The Times, Washington Post, MSDNC, CNN, ABC, NBC, etc. Flood them with so many emails, phone calls, whatever it takes to scare them. Shove McCain’s win down their throats, give em hell as much as possible. Treat the MSM Obama media like Al-Qaeda terrorists, make them suffer and feel our wrath. Send the message that we are never going to allow this to happen again and this is the payback.
The purpose of this thread was to exemplify the utter bull-crap that we’ve been inundated with from all sides. Furthermore, it would be pathetic if this site were to only post stories that were favorable to us—only reading what we wanted to see or believe. Not only would we be living in a bubble, but we wouldn’t know what thought-process of those we oppose.
So lighten up. Although I do admit, I should have posted a BARF alert!
More Communist propaganda from one of the asshats on the left.
VOTE VOTE VOTE.
“Not only would we be living in a bubble, but we wouldn’t know what thought-process of those we oppose.”
I agree, that’s why I come here, because I know I’ll be kept aware of what’s really happening, That has enabled me to delete CNN and all the rest from my “favorites”. I don’t want any surprises. My liberal associates go to only Left wing wacko sites and they may be in for the surprise of the century.
You know what I find funny. They are not mentioning AT ALL how horribly wrong these polls were in the primaries....they want us all to forget and take the polls as gospel.

Our next job is to do something about the media or this trend will never change. They are the ones that suppressed all the negatives about his radical ideas and associations and they are the ones who waged a non stop battle against Sarah Palin.
They have a lot of power when it comes to influencing the lazies who get their education from Good morning America, 60 Minutes and the View.
Why do you continue to post Halperine’s BS? You’re probably the only one here who hasn’t noticed a pattern...
(no offense)
“It’s meant to demoralize McCain supporters. It’s meant to make people stay at home since McCain does not stand a chance. You can’t let it get to you! Prove them wrong by voting tomorrow! Have to go to work, but stay strong! :)”
You are correct. It is meant to DEMORALIZE supporters. Get out and vote tomorrow. NO WAY, NO HOW NOBAMA!
Every now and then I hear them on TV mentioning how 0bama was leading so much in the primaries but LOST by good margins [pa for example].
I don’t know what’s going to happen - but i’m voting and taking folks from work with me :)
This drastic a prediction keeps everyone at home. (Both sides: complacency on the left, despair on the right.)
Continue? Have I posted him regularly? Good lord. I apologize that I cannot be glued to my computer for several hours a day to monitor who is posting what.
Seriously, get a grip. You do no good lashing out at people who are ON YOUR SIDE.
GREAT PICTURE....You just gave me the idea for my front steps next year. That’ll keep the little b-tards away from my house.
Can I have some of whatever your snorting or drinking. Must be good stuff.
I just told this person I wanted some of whatever he was drinking or snorting with his 304 prediction. But, seeing yours, I have changed my mind, because your stuff has too be better than his with this 331 prediction.
