I certainly hope so.
Why not? A win is a win for us, period.
What’s remarkable to me is that there was a bigger spread between Kerry and Bush in 2004 ..... and Kerry lost big time.
No bias here.
Obama will lose the popular vote and the electoral college, and there will be riots in LA, Chicago, Harlem, Detroit, etc...
Recipie for weeklong riots.
I really don’t think this election is going to be that close.
No problem. Lock and Load. Mayors who won’t issue ball ammunition to the National Guard suffer the consequences.
Sure, the electoral college is what prevents NY, TX and CA from electing every President.
I don’t see that developing... but to answer the question: Yes. He will likely win the big cities where the welfare is concentrated, as do all Dems. Those by themselves won’t give him enough electoral votes.
I hope the fire departments in LA, NYC, Chicago and DC have their trucks primed and ready.
Tuesday night is gonna be a long one.
I would almost prefer that Obama win the popular vote and lose the electoral vote. It would be another reminder that the Constitution still works “whether they like it or not” (to quote Gavin Newsom).
Getting nervous AP/Yahoo?
Of course Obama losing means a complete overhaul of the electoral system is necessary. If Obama wins, it’s fine!
Or it could come down to one electoral vote in Northeastern Maine.
You'll have a better idea when results come in from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, and New Hampshire.
But really, wouldn't Nevada been more likely to go for Obama than Colorado?
I wouldn’t put it past the Democrat Congress, if that scenerio occured, to try and overturn the electoral vote by refusing to certify the electoral vote or a particular state’s electoral vote “in the interest of democracy” or something like that.
Yes, and if McCain pulls out the inside straight that is probably what will happen.
Sometimes you see a Democrat doing that ~ maybe a baby in a buggy. But it's rare to see children at Obama events.
Could it be a difference in the perception of relative safety?
Do Republicans confidently take their kids with them because they know nobody will get a purse stolen at the event? Could Democrats be pulling a Jesse Jackson "if you see young men down the sidewalk" deal and keeping the kids at home because they feel unsafe?
The difference is so obvious you just gotta' ask who the heck is attending these Obama events that has all the Democrats frightened?
Democrats put way too much faith in polls especailly sicne they are weighted in their favor and who knows how many are purposely lying to pollsters. Our elections ahve always been based on electoral votes and no one even heard ofthe “popular vote” until Gore’s campaign came up with it and it is meaningless without a constitutional amendment to change it.
