If you look on the front page, it's filled as far as the eye cares to scroll about voting irregularities.

don't know if we will go blue, but it going to be much more purple than in 2008! Lot's of fundies who stayed home, dissed Ron Paul voters and new Dem. voters are going to make it close.

AZ Latinos in particular have been badly underrepresented in polling......the Rocky Mountain Polling guys may have been on to something when they said that Obama might just have a lead there........

1... McCain won by .1%
2. Joplin. The people in the 3rd largest most RW territory in the state got some love from the administration. They have just been reminded of the value of FEMA again.
3. There has been an economic\employment boon in that area because they have been rebuilding their infrastructure.
4. We have a popular Democratic Governor.
5. Todd Akin

It's a long shot, but it doesn't take too many converts to flip .1%
