[Fluffdaddy]

[MadBadger]

3. Close polls, maybe make McCain spend some money there.

[WI_DEM]

4. Are we allowed to be happy that it's getting closer?

[Abacus]

8. It's not just about Georgia,

It's about other states with fractionally similar demographics.

9. Keep fighting Georgia! We're with you!!!!

"We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. They will only grow louder and more dissonant. We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there's never been anything false about hope."

- Barrack Obama

11. Obama campaign has registered 500,000 new voters in GA this year

If the national polls show him 6-8% ahead, he can surprise everyone in GA. We're talking 500,000 new voters in GA that I don't think any poll take into account.

14. Nothing wrong with hoping

You never know what might happen.

15. The polls just shifted 8 points in a few days.

There is now an 8 pt. gap, with several weeks remaining.

17. So we can't be pleased that we might make it close enough to force

McCain to spend money defending it?

You know, your avatar's really telling.

5. Palin's ability to make the red states redder is weakening.

Bad news for her.

6. Ouchies

:rofl:

[SuperTrouper]

7. It is getting closer. McShame will have to spend money in, of all places, GA

[MattNC]

16. he won't spend any money there

he knows if he's losing Georgia on Election Day he's getting smoked in the Electoral College.

10. Statistically speaking

Based on this poll when compared to national polls, Obama stands a greater chance of winning Georgia than McCain's chances at winning nationally. If that does not make you feel good about our chances I do not know what would.

12. Georgia

We all know Obama Isn't going to win there.Obama has pulled most of his staff out and ended his TV
ads there however this Is showing Obama can make things competive.For him to have Mccain with a lead
In single digets Is great,and can help In the Senate race there.And the Memo was Palin was going to
help keep Red States Red.And since Obama did better In the primary there than some polls suggested
he could end up losing Georgia by 5 or 6 points but help pull off a senate upset since polls have It now a dead heat In that race.

13. While I am not getting my hopes up here

I will say there has been a noticeable lack of McCain signs. The places where "sign forests" of repuke candidates are placed (i.e empty lots) NEVER have any McCain signs! It is really odd. I do see some signs in people's yards (usually with no other candidates) and a few stickers on cars, but I live in a very strong repuke area (coastal Georgia) and there just ain't much excitement. Maybe Atlanta can push the state close enough to make the repukes spend some bucks here....

20. K & R!

21. Anytime we can erase a 11-13 point lead in a state in two weeks

anything can happen... come on Atl.

My prediction since the primary 375-163
