Michael Barone says McCain-Palin has the advantage in states with a total of 342 electoral votes. Things are looking up!

And what flavor Kool-Aid would that be?

I doesn’t sound as if you are for McCain’s win actually, but if you read he is making projections not saying how it is today!

Please Cat. Are you know going to try and discredit Mike Barone?

You are a amateur just like me, do not embarrass yourself by ripping the premier political mind in America.

What’s your problem? Maybe you’d serve yourself, and everyone else her better, if you’d skip reading any poll threads. You are nothing but a negative force.
Do you even post in any other thread, or just poll threads just do you can make dire predictions, and negative comments?

The “Statistical analysis of several sets of polls and the examination and study of historical American politics” flavor.

Which is quite a bit tastier than the “Litter box leavings pessimist” flavor that you seem partial to.

If you disagree, please post your deconstruction of Mr. Barone’s piece. Well thought out dissents are always welcome.

well according to Barone’s article the following are his conclusions:

“Or to look at it another way, from Bush’s 2004 electoral vote total of 286, you now have to subtract Iowa (7), which is Obama +12 in the latest Des Moines Register poll, and maybe Colorado (9), Virginia (13), and New Mexico (5), which gets the Republican total down to 252. Or to 247, if you include Nevada (5). But in the northern tier there are 63 more electoral votes within reasonable reach of McCain in the northern tier and New Hampshire. And maybe he wants to start looking at New Jersey (15). I see Obama as competitive or leading in states with 338 electoral votes (granting him the 27 in Florida, which looks to me increasingly unlikely). I see McCain as competitive or leading in states with 342 electoral votes. Advantage shifting toward McCain.”

that apparently is the kool aid being drunk

Still working overtime for your Obamessiah, huh?

Oh, that's right, I forgot. You want a "Country First" yard sign, but can't find one. Then when I provide you a link, you don't even thank me! I'm hurt, deeply hurt.

Go read the article and get depressed.

Negatism, Pessism, doom & gloom sums up your posting history in relation to the McCain/Palin race for the WhiteHouse. (I know that’s a racist name and you’d prefer to see it repainted & renamed The Global House of Multi-cultural something).

If you want to be depressed about Obama sinking, go ahead and read/post at DU or KOS instead of bringing everyone down with you. And take that Cat of yours with you (assuming you can find it)

just swallowed something really big! Skat!

The only Kool-Aid drinkers are the libtards who think the Muslim militant is going to win.

Barone is a walkin',talkin' encyclopedia. That man knows his stuff.

I was waiting in line for him to sign a copy of one of his books several years ago.

I happen to be about 10th in line. I noticed that he asked every person in line what state and county they were from. He than regaled them with the breakdown of how their county had voted in the 2004 election>

I was ashamed to tell him the truth, but admitted I was from NJ (Atlantic County). He grinned at me and said, "You folks have a lot of work to do."
