I really will. Hell, I don't think he'll even come within 10. I believe the polls because it makes sense. If Obama is up 8-10 nationally, he is up huge in PA. Nothing McCain can do can change that. Bush, with the powers of incumbency, 40 visits, a huge warchest, and a much stronger electoral position couldn't win. McCain will lose by over 500,000 votes.

1. Exactly...Obama will win PA by 8-12%
Some of the fucking panic-junkies on this board are pathetic.

I almost think that the McCain campaign announced PA just to watch a bunch of stupid democrats freak out about a state that hasn't gone GOP since Reagan, where they have a 10-15% lead. It's high comedy.

4. The lowest he's at right now is 8%, and most put him from 11% to 13%.
It could narrow, given McCain's new offensive, but the Obama campaign has been one of the best in my lifetime, so they won't let them get anywhere close.

6. Who says the offensive has to work?
Santorum tried his best and fell further and further behind.

9. Certainly not me.
I'm just saying that Obama's people know what they're doing, and are likely preparing for every contingency. It's something we ought to at least think about, if not consider plausible.

5. LOL! That was my first thought -- except for the defenseless part.
I think, in a fair fight, a boxer might win any eating contest.

10. If they are his, they love him and would probably be too confused
to fight back. Horrible thought, really!

13. Did you ever have a boxer?
My grandfather did, and that dog was a sweetie. But, from my perspective, very LARGE.

so dogs that look small to me look big to others. I like rasslin' with great big dogs. Airedales are the best.

edit: wrong "no"

15. I know an Airedale, too, so I can guess what you mean.
That is one strong dog.

16. My girlfriend is convinced that I'm part-Airedale.
We are getting one as soon as we have a place to keep him/her/them.

17. Get a padlock for your refrigerator, then.
Another Airdale that I knew could open the fridge and snatch a roast from a shelf.
