It's pretty much over
Oct. 13th, 2008 11:23 amSay hello to President Obama.
Checked CNN election chart. If the states listed as leaning one way or another continue to lean that way, Obama only needs to win just one of the following: Ohio, Missouri, North Carolina, Florida or Virginia. Just one of these will do it for him. Even if you give traditionally red North Carolina and Virginia to McCain, Ohio, Missouri and Florida are a real tossup. Given tough economic times, industrial rust-belt Ohio may very well go blue and that will be it.
As for McCain, he'll need to win all of these: Nevada, Colorado, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida to become president. That is virtually impossible, even, as I said before, if we give traditionally red NC, CO and VA to McCain (and toss in Nevada while we're at it), since McCain's win in all of the battleground states of Missouri, Ohio and Florida is extremely unlikely.
Well, there you have it. We lost. They won. Long live socialism.

PS. Fucking California with its 55 votes...Dems always have that nuthouse in the bag...I want proportional representation of electoral college votes!!!
