24 Hours Till Votes Are Counted, Missouri Is Still Tied, Could Go Either Way: McCain 48%, Obama 48%, in SurveyUSA's final tracking poll of Missouri, released Election Eve. No change since an identical SurveyUSA poll 1 week ago. Research, underwritten by KMOX radio in St. Louis and KCTV-TV in Kansas City, has McCain up by 25 points in the Ozarks, up by 22 points in the boot-heel, and up by 11 points along the Iowa border. Obama leads by 16 points in greater St. Louis and by 10 points in greater Kansas City. The more younger voters who turn-out, the better Obama's chances. The more older voters who turn-out, the better McCain's chances. McCain must win Missouri to be elected President. Obama would like to win Missouri, but has many paths to 270 electoral votes that do not include Missouri's 11. 800 adults interviewed 10/30/08 through 11/02/08 yielded 754 registered voters and 674 likely voters.

OK, but I want to see him win both. ;-)
“It could easily go either way.”
Then we agree.
Bush lost PA by quite a bit while winning VA by quite a bit in 2004.
It’s hard to imagine VA going for Obama given the VA military tradition and other things - I just have to think the polls are off. And I have to ask if that’s real or just my hope talking to me. So I’ll just wait, do what I can to make a difference.
Here’s how EVERYONE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. TOMORROW GO TO YOUR VOTING LOCATION. WAVE A SIGN FOR MCCAIN. REMIND PEOPLE GOING IN OF THIS:

“Maybe I’ve written off VA and CO prematurely?”
YES. Especially VA.
We shall see.
“Well Obama has invested heavily in getting the early vote out. He should in fact have a substantial lead based on that investment.”
The other thing he needed was high young voter turnout.
It was not happening in the EV tallies that I saw.
What I DID hear (anecdote) on my GOTV call was a dear old 82-year-old woman so scared of Obama she bought McCain-Palin signs for her whole street and was determined to vote on election day.
I think other than african-american turnout, I dont see a Dem advantage wrt turnout.
We shall see.
