well within the margin of error

Look at the poll numbers on the right sidebar at fivethirtyeight.com. While McCain leads on all but one poll, most of the results are well within the margin of error - he has a 6% lead or better in only three polls.

Plus, Obama's strategy from the start was to spend in traditionally solid red states, to force McCain to waste his money and time in traditionally non-battleground states.

At this point in the game, McCain most likely has to run the table in all toss-up states and take a solid Obama state to win. Even if Obama ends up losing Indiana, it's a reasonable strategy to make the state competitive.

"Swing State" . . . sadly too many seem bent on voting self destruction rather than accept that a candidate that ACTUALLY supports Middle Class values because he is black . . .

A pandering womanizer, gold digging adulterer with a a proven VOTING record of supporting corporate interests, denying Veteran and Middle-low Income Health Care increases, supporting "de-regulation" of financial and health care industries, VOTING 90% of the time for the Failed Bush Policies seems to present an acceptable alternative to voting for a black man . . . I don't understand it, but that seems to be the basis for "Swing State" mentality.

"sadly too many seem bent on voting self destruction rather than accept that a candidate that ACTUALLY supports Middle Class values ."

Alot of people that voted for bush in 2000 & 2004 thought that was a good idea too. Obama sure does know alot about the middle class and the economy after few years in office. Took him 15 or more years to find out what was going on in church. Only took Oprah 2 years to see the church was no good maybe she should run for office. you think george bush is a joke just wait. it's not about race is about what he thinks he knows....

The last thing a republican supporter should do is bring up the topic of church going....

The right cozies up with some of the most irrational, bizzare hate mongerers on the planet.

Palin's a young earth creationist who's been 'healed' by a christian witchdoctor, and McCain, after doing the right thing towards people like Jerrry Falwell, turned around and sucked up to a person who blamed 9/11 and Katrina on gays/ and various 'sinners'.

They're The Same People Voting For McCain!!

Roninwa: Alot of people that voted for bush in 2000 & 2004 thought that was a good idea too.

LeRoy: And it will be the same people voting this year for John McCain. They never learn. Their craniums seem to be protected by lead shielding, to prevent any new information or ideas from getting in.

It's always amazing to see a Frayster who thinks that just they have no intention of voting for candidate A, then nobody else will.

McCain will probably win Indiana, but it'll be closer than Bush's margin of victory. If the current trends hold, however, Obama will hold onto all of the states that Kerry won and pick up enough of the real swing states to win the electoral college.

You nitwits who claim people like me will never vote for Obama because he's black make me not want to vote for Obama just to prove you wrong. In my case, the reason would be not supporting somebody supported by such ignoramuses.
The Irony Of This Is Just Astounding

TonyDavisNelson: You nitwits who claim people like me will never vote for Obama because he's black make me not want to vote for Obama just to prove you wrong. LeRoy: The irony of this is just so rich as to be astounding. You would only be able to prove such people WRONG by voting FOR Obama. Voting AGAINST Obama would just reinforce their perception of you, whether that perception is right or wrong......You might want to consider taking a basic course in logic sometime....

Sounds like an elitist thing to do.

In case it wasn't clear, I was being sarcastic there.

Although sadly, there are many on the right who might see that statement out of context and nod in agreement.
