There are several States where presidential polling is too close to call. They are Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Montana and Nevada. These are all Red States but it is unreasonable to assume that John McCain will win them all. It is my guess that Barry O will win less than half. Which States among these each candidate wins will have a big effect in their respective electoral college total.
The bottom line is that Barry can lose all these States and still win comfortably. Johnny McCrash needs to win them all and also take two out of three, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia. There is some small hope that a miracle could happen and he could win Ohio. Close but no cigar.
If everything goes exactly right for John, he still loses. The threat posed by four more years of a Republican Presidency is still too great. Do not fall into complacency. Go out and vote. Call your parents, your siblings, your friends. Talk to your neighbors and the people you meet at church on Sunday. Talk to the guys at the soft ball game this afternoon, or at the tavern, playing pool. Influencing even one more person to vote for Obama doubles your power in the voting booth. In my State Obama already has a huge lead. It doesn't matter. Driving up the vote totals will send a message to Washington that we are tired of cynical Republican bullshit, corporate and agrarian welfare, unilateral foreign wars of petro hegemony and the encroaching theocracy of the fundamentalist, xenophobe, Luddites.
