How Obama will win the GE.
1. He will give an acceptance speech at the DNC that will leave people talking for weeks. It will be hugely influential and really let people know who Obama is.

2. The debates. People will see a tired old sick (and a little goofy) McCain next to a young intelligent strong Obama. It will be worse than JFK and Nixon debates. And unlike JFK Nixon debates (who many people say Nixon won) Obama will win with looks and substance.

3. He will bring in unlikely voters the polls will be way off before election day.

4. Landslide victory will negate any voter fraud the Republicans can muster.

Many people still aren't paying attention and many people still don't know the real Obama. After he wins the nomination and he is on the national stage everybody will see Obama.

Easy victory.

1. I don't think it will be an easy victory, especially if Hillary stays in until the convention

4. Nobody said it was going to be easy
Obama's an African American running for president in a country that has elected white males to the presidency for its entire history. He's running against a popular war hero with crossover appeal. It's not going to be easy. But that doesn't mean it's not worth fighting for.

6. Obama will win forty states!
Don't ask how I know. (The number just came into my head.) But check back election day for my vindication. :)

7. I agree wholeheartedly
Unless the Repubs create some horrible scandal and nuke BO's candidacy, this will be a landslide victory for Barack.
