No matter what anyone on here wants to say. You have to be delusional if you don’t think any of this matters..

Two small red towns that went:

1996: Dole 31, Clinton 20
2000: Bush 38, Gore 18
2004: Bush 35, Kerry 21

have now gone..

2008: Obama 32, McCain 16

We were relying on hope that the polls were missing the rural vote and oversampling Dems. That this many independents have gone for Obama is depressing.

The demographics have changed. There's a lot of denial on this forum about how parts of the country have changed beyond all recognition. Its going to get worse even if Obama is defeated tomorrow night.

I’m delusional then. Let’s count all the votes in NH and then we’ll know.

Yes, it doesn’t look good, but the demos may have changed.
We are talking about 21 voters...lol
That’s two or three families moved out and new ones moved in over four years..not hard to imagine.

Just vote tomorrow and hope the undecideds break for McCain.
At this point, there is nothing else we can do.

Interestingly enough, there’s a notable drop-off in voter numbers.

I have no idea what’s happened in that part of the country, but it seems striking that, between these towns, fewer people voted than in 1996.

Without more information, it’s tough to really figure out much. A few families moving away are more than enough to account for that sort of variation.

I would have to agree. BHO getting 2/3 votes out of 2 Long time red counties is troubling in this early hour.

We cannot get depressed we have to go vote. If the Conservative Base stays home You can guarantee BHO will be the next POTUS.

I’m delusional then because I don’t believe any thirty people anywhere can accurately predict the outcome of a presidential race. All sorts of hidden factors could have happened to this little town or to the country or the individual states “COAL”. This is so stupid. I will not let media propaganda and superstitions effect me. The American people will vote tomorrow and then we will either all wonder how half of our nation has gotten so stupid or we will know we dodged a bullet. And come what may we will all fight on because we are right. Conservative ideals have been why this is the most successful nation in the history of man and they will be again.

If the polls weren't oversampling Democrats, the GOP is a in world of trouble no doubt about it.
