BB, are you watching Scarbs this morning? I am staggered by the degree to which he doesn't get it.
He just went on a righteous rant on wanting a president who emphasizes his supporters rather than himself, who wants to surround himself with the finest advisors to help him make decisions, etc., etc.
Anyone who has been paying any kind of attention knows that this is Obama.

Some of these lines are just crazy. Its really silly that voting can take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours at some spots from what I'm reading on line. Just imagine how bad it will be tomorrow although ideally a lot more places should be open. You really are being disenfranchised if it takes that freaking long to vote. Every state should at a minimum have a period of early voting so you aren't placed into a crazy situation on election day.

A pretty common Republican position at this point is to try to burn down both houses because they are unhappy with their candidate and they are staring at the prospect of a loss.

PPP north carolina stats:
Obama led 55-45 among those who said they had already voted
among those planning to vote on election day John McCain leads 56-42.
PPP Florida stats:
Obama has built up a a 56-43 lead among early voters
John McCain has a 54-42 lead among those folks planning to vote Tuesday
the discrepancy...it is vast.

I've never really thought of this state as a win for Bams. It has served a purpose, though: It has forced McCain defend what should have been a given. If anything it help spread McCain's campaign too thin : )
Also, I've been waiting for this time for almost 8 years! I can't believe that it's starts in less than 24 hours. If Obama wins I'm hitting the bars all week. It'll be one of the proudest moments for me as an American. And thus, I'll celebrate it accordingly

Ill be doing the same but with either outcome..
If he wins! CELEBRATION!
If he loses.. Drown myself in a bottle of Jack so that I am comatose for the next 4 years.

Why don't these assholes stop digging themselves further and just tone in down a bit? They're not doing anyone, especially the country, a favor. It's now clear that there's 98% chance Obama will be our next President. Yet these shits are still doing what they can to try and convince people to hate him, for reasons pulled out of their asses. Not very patriotic.

I'm on one of those lists? :lol :lol
That's total surprise to me. I mostly lurk here. But I see poligaf wasn't so "big" back then.
He doesn't even need to. Guys, if you feel a bit anxious and want to be reassured then visit this site and play around: http://www.270towin.com/Diablos said:

I'm not even on the list and I made the top 10 for the past two Poli-threads. :lol
P.S. Saw Jon King's PA layout last night. Southeast of PA is solid DEM and contributes to a third of PA's votes. No way will McCain win the state.

What will ensure an Obama win in Florida, Georgia and NC is
1. The African-American turnout
2. The Youth vote
3. The Hispanic vote
4. The Jewish vote (fL only(

for McCain to win in NC, he would have to have NC's come out and vote in a number nearing 2.1 million on ELection day, that means the total of 4.8 million TOTAL, thats 1.7 million more than those who voted in 2004, which is impossible
For McCain to win in FL, he would have to FLs to come out and vote in a number nearing 5 million on Election day, that means a total of 9 million TOTAL, thats 2 million more than those who voted in 2003, which is impossible

A further note. McCain has no money left for his ground game, Obama has more than 100 million for his ground game. he has a number greater than 250,000 volunteer his GOTV effort in all battleground states, McCain does know what he has coming for him, the Old geasers in florida will look at the long line and go back home

Listen, why have GAF been focusing so much on the % of the early vote as a % of 2004's total voters? It is extremely difficult to predict turnout. Wouldn't the more relevant measure be the % of early vote as a % of the TOTAL registered voters?
