yes, yes I do think that Obama could very well win in a landslide
According to polls he's competetive or ahead in states like CO, NM, OH and SD.

John McCain has big problems that I believe will only get worse. Palin is not much of an asset and may well turn out to be a serious drag. McCain has really, really pissed off members of the MSM. McCain has a big anger management problem.

All those things could very well spell a landslide win for Obama and Biden.

1. I sure hope you're right
Personally I can see a landslide on merits alone as Barack and Joe are going to be one hell of a team for us.

2. It Won't Be A Landslide
I believe he will still win, with between 300 and 320 Electoral Votes, which will be a solid victory. A Landslide would be around 400 EV.

3. I agree!
He is going hard in the Swing states, opening offices all across them, and it's paying off.

I will even go so far to say that he WILL win VA. And, will take NC and/or GA, based on the significant African-American voting populations there.

4. This kind of talk makes me nervous
I've watched two elections be stolen right out from under the Democrats, and I have no reason at all to think that they won't do the same thing again this year.

So I try not to think about it, and hope like hell that my fears won't be realized.

5. Yes, and the media is really on McCain and the republicans' team. This is a
short term media fake "look" at Palin and they will be going full throat for her and McCain on Friday.

35. I was just reminded by a friend
that the National Enquirer is diving deeply into Palin's life. From personal experience - no, I'm not John Edwards - I know that those people get things right more than that M$M does. If they do this, we could see something very interesting.

Did you ever in your life think you'd be rooting for one of those awful tabloids?

36. I resent that.
The grownups went to Washington, remember?

The grownups are the ones that have been fucking the US and te rest of the world over for the last eight years.

I don't want to be associated with grownups anymore.

34. Weren't the "hussians" those mercenaries who worked for the British during our
Revolutionary War? Remember, George Washington famously crossed the Delaware River and defeated them in Trenton?

38. Just read your profile, troll.
And you're cordially invited to stick a gun up your ass, and smack yourself upside the head with a golf club.

Or stick a golf club up your ass and a gun in your mouth.

Like most democrats, I'm pro-choice, so I'll leave that decision up to you. :)

8. I Certainly Hope So...
But I'm already suffering from anxiety attacks thinking about election night and worrying about another election being stolen from us. I seriously don't know if I can handle the stress of watching returns coming in. I feel like I do when watching suspenseful horror movies: just end the damned suspense already, and let me know that the hero survives and the monster is dead. I just want the nightmare to be over.

11. I'm betting you're wrong. Look, corporate media sucks but it does
consist of individuals, and McCain is alienating a lot of them. Read Joe Klein's blogpost today about the abuse McCain is heaping on MSM reporters. And Obama is over 15 points ahead in Iowa. He's ahead in SD by 3 pts. McCain is being forced to fight in states like CO, NM, VA, SD and NC.

no way John Kerry would lose, or for that matter Al Gore before him. Both times the election was stolen from us. I will not get excited about this election until I hear....President-elect, Barack Obama.

13. this isn't remotely related to euphoria. it's analysis. And I knew damned well Kerry
would lose. I like him a lot, but from the moment he stepped out with the tone deaf "reporting for duty", I knew he'd lose. And I thought Gore would lose too on the day of his lousy debate performance. I was actually surprised that Gore won.
