RCP changes Virginia from tossup to leaning Democrat! 277 EVs for Obama WITHOUT Florida or Ohio!!

[DemsUnited]

Yay us who live in Virginia and have worked so hard to turn this state blue. First two Governors, then both state Senators (Mark Warner is cruising to an easy win) and now the POTUS!

I am really excited & proud of my state.

[Bill219]

4. That is a great looking win

But I still want to see a landslide with NC, FL, CO and OH turning blue

[Spider Jerusalem]

11. electoral-vote.com presently has CO, FL, OH, NV as 'weak democrat' based on polling averages

and NC as tied; electoral vote totals without NC, 349 for Obama; with NC, 364.

[DemsUnited]

12. Oh, me too! But I still have "who believes it, VA is turning blue in my life time" euphoria.

[Clio the Leo]

5. YAY!!!! Now lets take Tennessee!!!! ........

[Hutzpa]

19. So can I,

7. McCain must win ALL Tossups AND take a currently blue state

And the following are blue states that won't cut it:

New Hampshire
Maine (not even one Maine EV coupled with New Hampshire does it)
Rhode Island
Connecticut
Delaware
DC
Vermont
Oregon
Iowa
New Mexico

Yep, this means McCain must take ALL Tossups AND one of these states:

Massachusetts
New Jersey
Maryland
New York
Pennsylvania
Illinois
Wisconsin
Michigan
Virginia
Minnesota
Washington
Connecticut.

On top of this, all of the Blue States are SOLID except:

Virginia
Michigan
Wisconsin
New Mexico
Washington

McCain no longer has an uphill battle. McCain has an upcliff battle.

Of course, for those too stressed for humor, :sarcasm:

[DemsUnited]

20. Yup, that's us a bunch of commies especially those who work at the Pentagon in Arlington.

What jerks the whole McCain family is turning out to be.

[Hutzpa]

17. Woot..

means we are screwn, notice GA has gone to weak GOP too...

ah well!

McCain should keep attacking Obama, the more he attacks the
more they change color.

What a wuss
