Battleground states: PA, VA, NC, FL, OH, IN, & MO

[baldguy]

McCain has to win EVERY ONE of these states to win the election, Obama only has to win ONE.

And They Are *All* Trending BLUE.

1. If PA is a battleground state, so is GA.

[Liberalboy]

2. Georgia is totally in play!

I got Sweet Georgia on my mind!

[Top Cat]

6. I really hope Georgia comes through...

[AndyTiedye]

9. PA is Only In Play Because it Has Paperless DRE Voting Machinez!

[John Q. Citizen]

3. MT, CO, ND, NV, GA are also in play. If we get our voters voted we win.

[FlyingSquirrel]

11. And NM, NH. I don't think PA is in play anymore.

All Obama really needs to do is make sure he wins VA and NM, then with MN, WI, and PA he has 273.

4. McCain is in deep Bandini ....

This truly will be an extraordinary moment ....

I don't want to jinx anything, so I wont speak loudly ...

Obama is going to win !

5. call me a simple fool....go ahead, I'll wait....but I won't be surprised

to see a 50 state Obama victory. Not likely, I'll grant. I'm in Oklahoma, and have been subjected to some completely rascist and disgusting tv ads, but I still think it's possible. Anyone care to join me?

7. actually Obama doesn't need any of those states

If he simply takes Kerry 2004 states and takes CO NM IA he will have 273.


McCain must win all of those states and take back 4 EVs from one of the other states.

[jefferson_dem]

10. But PA is a Kerry state. So Obama either needs to hold that..

or make up for it with VA + NV (in addition to the blue trifecta of IA, NM, and CO, which are pretty much in the bag.

[jefferson_dem]

8. I think McCain can sacrifice VA as long as he wins NV + PA, NC, FL, OH, IN, & MO

And all the other Bush states. That would give him 273.

Whatever, the old bastard is obviously playing defense - he is running out of room ... and time.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. For the millionth time, McKKKlan will NOT win PA.

[KamaAina]

23. Especially not with the Todd Fraud all over the Pgh. news for days to come.

:nopity:

[BzaDem]

13. That's not true. Obama needs to win PA + IA, NM, and CO to win (if he wins no others on that list)

[Bucky]

16. He's up by 9 in IA, by 10+ in PA, by 8 in NV, by 4½ in CO, and by 1½ in ND

He's up by 4½ in Virginia and by more than 5 in Indiana.

McCain doesn't have a win on the current board. Maybe if Obama shoots Mylie Cyrus on live TV, he could get back in the game...

[lolamio]

17. You mean NV, right? Check your post. n/t

[Bucky]

20. Nevada, New York, whatever. It's all Sin City to me

by which I mean "oops, thanks"

[Bucky]

14. Montana is a possible pick up, if only icing on the cake. ND will absolutely go blue.

[Bucky]

15. PS: interesting home state trivia. What do AZ and IL have in common?

They both have a border with exactly one red state (as seen here): Illinois shares a short border with Kentucky--all others are blue.
Arizona shares a long dry border with red Utah, but California, Nevada, Colorado, & New Mexico are all blue.

[Lancer]

18. I totally love fun facts like that!

[KamaAina]

22. Indiana's blue?

Let's hope so, but historically, it's been blood-red.

[thesubstanceofdreams]

19. Don't forget MT and ND

As amazing as it is, Obama is tied in both.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

21. You are almost right. But if Obama holds PA, McCain has to win all the others.

But he doesn't have to win all including PA.

This assumes that Obama will win the Kerry states plus IA and NM which he will.

[underpants]

24. McC can have Ohio and FL. He will not get PA. Virginia, yes VIRGINIA will decide this election

and by Sunday everyone inside the castle walls of DC will never mention it again just like you haven't heard anyone talk about the outrageous rebellious results from 2006
