Textbook Example Of FReeper Delusion
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2121837/posts?page=34#34

Geez. The RCP map is ridiculous. The have MT, AZ and ND as "tossups"? OH as learning Obama? You gotta be kidding me!

Here's the way I see it. Right now, they have Obama with 311 EV, McCain with 132 EV and 95 EV as tossups.

These "tossup" states should be leaning McCain. Forget the Pravda polls. These are states that went for Bush in 2004. Obama is clearly getting less Dem support than Kerry. No way he wins these states: NC, GA, FL, MO, IN, AZ, MT and ND. Add 95 EV to McCain's total.

They have these states as solid Obama when they should be tossups: NH, IA, MN and WI. Deduct 31 from Obama's total. Why? Obama had to go back to IA to campaign this weekend, so it's clearly in play. MN and WI were fairly close in 2004 and should be closer this year. NH is a McCain stronghold.

They have these states as leaning Obama when they are clearly in play and should be classified as tossups: PA, OH, VA, NM, CO and NV. Deduct another 73 from Obama's total.

New totals: Obama 207 EV, McCain 227 EV and 104 tossup EV. Looks like a race, right?

Why would the Pravda media present the electoral map this way? Because liberals always seem to make decisions based on wishful thinking and not hard data and sound logic.

2. I hate to break it to the freeptard, but...
there is about 10 times more enthusiasm out there for Obama than there was for Kerry.

6. I have been canvassing in NH.
Sure, there are McCain supporters, but there are also Republicans who are voting for Obama. NH has been slowly trending Blue over the past 6 years-McCain doesn't have a chance there.

7. This from the party of the dinosaur people?
They are precious, aren't they? It's not the pot calling the kettle black. More like the pot calling a snowflake black.

14. Well, you do have to keep in mind
that these are the same bright thinkers who came up with the Iraqi pay back budget

The "secret" firings of US Attorneys

and that a cool hiding place for illegal money was a freezer.

Oh, yeah, and McCain and Palin as national candidates.

They are doing their widdle best, poor dears.

18. incredible!

That's just what the poll data says...

Forget the Pravda polls.

The funny thing is, these ARE pravda polls... in the other direction. As slanted (read: close) as possible.

Obama is clearly getting less Dem support than Kerry.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
