A decent indicator is Gov. races. The last Gov. race in Washington was a tie, then the Dems made up some ballots and stole it.
The Oregon Gov’s races have been surprisingly close, but it does look like Oregon is slipping firmly into the Dem orbit and probably won’t elect GOP Gov anytime soon.
spot on analysis. OH will be close but go McCain. We overlook FL at our peril here: Palin is great for us throughout most of the country, but probably actually hurts us in FL, and the polls are close.
The keys to this election are in VA, CO, and NV. That’s where the election will be won or lost.
Lieberman doesn’t have a very high approval rating in CT. Conservatives still don’t like him, and Dems think he’s a turncoat. He wouldn’t win election if he ran again—I think he’s just going to retire.
Colorado and Nevada don't mean much at all if McCain takes Michigan and Pennsylvania and the McCain?Palin ticket is perfect for those two states. They will mine votes there that W never got close to.
Obama is only up by 6 in NJ according to one poll I saw. His campaign is falling apart and the gop ticket is picking up steam so I think states that look like solid blue states are going to flip in the wake of the national landslide.
I think if the race goes as hoped from on in, McCain is winning by 10 nationally. It’s hard to believe in a such a big win that many states that seem solid blue won’t flip. McCain needs 270 electoral votes, I think he’s going to lock up around 340 by the end of the first debate.
