NetRunnersays...From TPM:
Fivethirtyeight.com gives McCain a 6.2% chance of winning.
Pollster.com shows Obama as having 320 EV's with just lean/solid Democratic states, 270 EV needed to win.
Even the conservative-run realclearpolitics.com shows Obama with 277 EV's, not counting toss-up states -- and their map matches my gut feeling about what states are in play at this point.
Obama people can't afford to be complacent, but McCain has a huge hill to climb if he expects this to even be close.
Right where he wants us, indeed.
shuacsays...Oh, that's rich.
kronosposeidonsays...He's got them where we want them too: In the winner's circle.
kronosposeidonsays...Actually, just like a war, or many other elections in American history, it's never too late for Obama to lose. That's what I'm afraid of.
NetRunnersays...Nope, it's not too late for him to lose, but I'm having trouble imagining what McCain could try that he hasn't already.
I think the only thing that could shake it up at this point is a major external event, but given that much of Obama's lead seems to be driven by the fact that he seems to have won over the public to trusting his judgment, I don't see the usual terrorism/national security/bin Laden stuff moving things back in McCain's direction.
It'd need to be a personal scandal, and given the millions of dollars and probably millions of man-hours spent by the GOP to find one, they don't seem to have come up with anything substantive at all.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to NetRunner's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
