270.

[tekisui]

The number that matters.

Polls are like roller coasters. Fun for a while, but can make you throw-up.

[geek tragedy]

1. If McCain wins CO, OH, and VA he wins

the WH.

And all three states are trending his way.

[tekisui]

2. Correction: for mccain to win, he has to win CO,OH,VA,MI AND FL.

All 5.

Obama wins one of those, President Obama! :patriot:

[geek tragedy]

3. No he doesn't. Bush won without MI.

FL is in the bag for McCain.

[tekisui]

4. Mccain won't take Iowa and probably not Missouri.

He has to sweep the big swings: CO, OH, VA and FL.

I don't buy FL in the bag. Obama has opened a shit load of offices there and is has spent a lot of money on ads.

[geek tragedy]

7. Missouri? Please.

Not. even. close.

[tekisui]

10. But, don't you see, Mccain has to run a perfect campaign,

holding and defending everywhere. Obama has to swing just one of the big ones. Obama has put the boots on the ground and the money in, so he will take it.

[geek tragedy]

16. McCain can afford to lose two red states.

If he wins Bush minus New Mexico and Iowa, he still wins.

[tekisui]

18. Well, you seem hellbent on finding a winning scenario for mcpow,

and I am determined to find and work for every and any possible way for Obama/Biden to win.

[Cosmocat]

17. Missouri is not happening for BO in the general

...

[featherman]

6. FL is hardly a lock for McCain - Q poll has Obama up by 2, Ras has it within

2 for McCain, ARG has McCain by 1.

Plenty of campaigning to do in Florida yet.

[geek tragedy]

9. Republican state party is vastly superior to the clown show

that the Democratic state party is.

Also, McCain isn't even advertising there and he's consistently leading Obama.

[Errrica]

14. Word.

I live in Florida, & while I realize that what I personally see can't be represented for the whole state, but I have seen a lot more Obama bumper stickers, posters, pins, etc. Especially at my college! I've seen so few pro-John McCain things that I started counting them when I do. Five since June.
I hope that's a good sign... Even if Obama doesn't win FL, I think it will be damn close.

5. If McGigalo wins...it will send confirming evidence of our National STUPIDITY

:puke:

Over turn Roe...is this coming with McLoser? You can bet your ass it will...

[WeDidIt]

8. Bar is lower than 270

The bar is simply keeping McCain fro achieving that number of electors.

McCain MUST get 270 to be president. All Obama has to do is keep McCain from getting 270 and he wins.

[tekisui]

12. THat's it.

Mccain has a helluva task ahead of him. Impossible, I would say.

[WeDidIt]

15. Exactly, Obama has home court advantage

like Bush had home court advantage in 2000.

Even though Gore was part of the popular incumbent party, Bush had the advantage that the House delegation would have more than 26 states with a majority of Republicans.

This year, that advantage is the Democratic Party's and Obama can afford for a state to not seat a slate of electors so long as McCain does not achieve 270 electors.

If you recall, the recount strategy of the Republicans wasn't for Bush to win, it was to insure Gore did not win. They didn't care if Florida got zero electors seated because they knew under those circumstances, Bush would win.

11. LMAO!

:puke: Can I get off now? :rofl:
