I spent the better part of the day running simulations. I used 1948, Truman/Dewey for some back-up stats for swing states and I finalized my best guess @ Obama321 McCain217 as the Nov. 5th outcome. It might be fun to post your guesses, maybe this site will run a good natured contest, let my best guess be the first entry!

I don't think she means to imply that an Obama presidency will mean the end of America being an English-speaking country. In any case, her opinion can safely be ignored, as can the opinion of all people who are convinced that this country will collapse if their favored candidate (and there are plenty of people on both sides of the aisle who feel this way) loses. That being said, I can't resist the urge to ask: WHY DOES ELIZABETH HATE AMERICA? Olga,

She is one of those people who are part of the right-wing religious zealots. When she is implying that the United States does not have morals, she really means that Barack Obama does not have morals or democrats for that matter. She is part of the uneducated, uninformed, and God-fearing members of the Republican base. Elizabeth are you implying that you will leave the country if Obama wins? I remember when so many people said this after Bush won re-election. As far as I know they all stayed. I’ve learned to ignore people like Elizabeth.

Although, you may perceive the U.S. as strictly Anglo-Saxon you couldn’t be further away from the truth. I believe we need a common language to be able to communicate effectively (as for instance at one’s job), however diversity is deeply engrained in this country’s history. It’s a factor that has to be considered and included in every political aspect if we as Americans want our country to prosper. How can we possibly steer this country successfully without including the millions of immigrants that live here now. I am an immigrant myself, all of my family has received citizenship, we pay taxes and put money back in the economy by spending money on cars, food, clothes, houses, etc. Unfortunately, my grandparents are too old to learn English and I am pretty sure they never will. They are also American citizens and they love their new home. It has been this way from the beginning, there’s nothing in the constitution that makes this country exclusively “English”.

I want to go somewhere where English is spoken and morals still count. Please God, let McCain win…otherwise, well, does anyone know Ireland or Scotland’s immigration policies?

McCain is winning MI too many times based on current polls and the fact that he has pulled out of MI. <strong> 270toWin:</strong> No polls since then, although we see one this AM from Public Policy with Obama +10. That will get in the mix at some point today and you'll see a change. Just asking, today is Oct. 3rd, why hasn’t MI polls been updated since Sept. 26/08.

That's three straight polls in which he's been ahead by 5-7 points. It’s time to move Wisconsin into the Obama column. That’s three straight polls in which he’s been ahead by 5-7 points.
