Comments on: 8 States Remain in Play as of Today’s Polls http://www.270towin.com/blog/2008-polls/8-states-remain-in-play-as-of-todays-polls This isn't a Popularity Contest Wed, 02 Jun 2010 16:55:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0-alpha By: robert http://www.270towin.com/blog/2008-polls/8-states-remain-in-play-as-of-todays-polls/comment-page-1#comment-2702 robert Thu, 30 Oct 2008 20:48:23 +0000 http://www.270towin.com/blog/2008-polls/8-states-remain-in-play-as-of-todays-polls#comment-2702 this whole thing is a joke i mean whats the point in the whole election process if people are going to keep speculating whos going to win? We might as well not have the real election since NBC and CBs are constantly throwing new polls at us everyday? Imean right about now people are just feed up with it. I mean whats the point in someone voting for Obama in Texas when its "for sure going to McCain?" I mean theyre informative I'm not denying their fundamental purpose but it just influences people to not even bother voting. I mean Obama is going to win no matter what happens in the next 4 days. this whole thing is a joke i mean whats the point in the whole election process if people are going to keep speculating whos going to win?

Your additional reason that it has not recently voted Democratic I think is not as strong. You were willing to move New Mexico and Iowa with less caution, and I think rightly. I think we all believe that a number of traditionally Republican states are likely to go Democratic this year, and that a certain degree of realignment is possible. I'm wondering whether you intend to exercise increased caution with the remaining states, all of which have recently tended to vote Republican. <strong>270toWin:</strong> Virginia hasn't voted blue since 1964, while the other states you list were very tight in the last couple elections, and while they went red in 2004, the prior several elections each was blue. In addition, both Iowa and New Mexico have favored Obama significantly since summer, while the breakout in Virginia came much later. In fact, there was a new poll out in VA this week that was again within the margin of error, but at this point it seems like an outlier. Hard to say what will happen with the other states. They are all rather tight, with very few polls outside the MOE. I agree with your caution on the Virginia move, principally because it indicates a victory for Obama.

Why ??? Racism has very often been cited as a cause for the defeat of Obama. But Americans are more educated, cultured and cultivated now. The Press and TV are more civilized. Consider the "Bad Boys" of TV Networks that have been so mean to Obama : They try to be conciliatory and invite Many Black Friends to their shows. They constantly promote themselves as non racists and constantly condemn racism and are very incensed when they are called "racists". I give these "bad" guys the benefit of the doubt and I think that they are changing for the best. Under a White House with a black family inside, the "bad boys of TV" will become even better guys and sweeter than they are now towards the "Otherness" and "that one". They have to become so, because there is a Big Demographic Revolution underway. The White Population is ageing. These TV guys are adapting to a new Racial Situation, a Silent Compact or Covenant. So the low culture people and the less educated are exposed to lots of "good will" propaganda among races and ethnics. And the most racists in the media see that they are going to fall in big trouble if they don't pay lip service to Racial Harmony. http://tossUpStates.blogspot.com/ http://milenials.blogspot.com/ Vicente Duque The Bradley Effect will be greatly diminished.

If you're a Republican, and you're trailing in Virginia and North Carolina, then it's not looking good. Don't dismiss McCain yet, on November 4th, we'll see if the Bradley effect is a real phenomenon, or if excluding cell phone only voters from polling data makes any difference.

If obama filled out a applacation for the FBI he would be turned down because of his so called long ago friends . I think if he is not good enough for the FBI he should not be even given a chance for president!!

McCain is around 4/1 and more, so if you are correct put your money where your mouth is. Any takers??? Quote:

I have always felt McCain should have been presented in the cuddly grandfather light as a strong, dependable, wise man and not the 'angry maverick'. I think the country would have gone for a 'times are tough but we will get through this stronger than ever'. The Obama campaign has been brilliant in a sense that they have done very little. Why get in the way of your oppenent when they are shooting themselves in the foot?
