Some people keep saying the Electoral Map doesn't favor Obama...

[Bicoastal]

...but how many more polls are we going to have to see with Obama beating McCain by a larger percentage than Hillary (if she beats him at all) before they realize that the Map favors her even LESS, no matter how you slice it?

I'm glad he's winning at this point.

1. And Let's Not Forget That McCain Isn't Drawing Republicans

to the polls like our candidates have been. I think Obama will be a shoe in.

4. And after you subtract the spoilers, how many will flip to McCain after months of GOP attack ads? nt

[Hawkeye-X]

13. Naw, he's just drawing flies...

from a stinkin' bunch of Rethuglicans hiding.

2. Kerry was leading Bush by a comfortable margin at this point, too. nt

5. yeah but that's different

we really really really want obama to win....mccain won't do squat in va being a military guy and a war hero.....they hate that in va....that's why an uber liberal beat george felix allen in 06.....
obama will win in a 50 state sweep...hell maybe even all 60 states....lol

[nonconformist]

12. Oh, I see, it's different because "we really really really" want it now.

:crazy:

3. I don't like Clinton OR Obama.....but Obama definitely has a better chance of beating McCain.

At least we have the advantage of knowing against whom we're running...unless the old coot dies before the general.

11. mccain has already started his attack on obama

i read it earlier tonight at salon....mccain is going to be a formidable opponent
democrats may have the advantage of knowing who they're running against...but mccain is
going to make the case that repubs don't know who they're running against due to his lack of experience and voting record.

[MercutioATC]

16. That will resonate with some voters...but

McCain is kinda loopy himself. He's a decidedly amateur speaker.

There are a ton of sound bites we can kill him with.


The only thing worse than an inexperienced candidate is an incompetent experienced candidate...

6. Some people are grasping

at straws at this point..and it's pathetic 'cause I wouldn't count hilary out but to come up with disingenous crap about the electoral map doesn't show much faith in their candidate.

[tandem5]

7. You can't draw that conclusion with national polls - you don't know how the samples break down

for each state.

[TheWraith]

8. The old maps aren't adequate to the situation.

We're turning out two voters to their one. We have a strong candidate, they have a weak one. We're campaigning to end the war, they're campaigning to start new ones. Democratic registration is at a record high, Republican registration a record low.

The old maps are woefully unprepared for the ass-kicking that's about to commence.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

9. you swallow this for the MSM and national polls.......

[dchill]

10. Come November, don't be surprised...

if he wins 40-plus states.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

14. lets hope Obama's backers own Diebold and ES&S

[andyrowe]

15. Boot!

I'm with you on this one.
