We're there...state by state, based on polls, we have 283 EV. Now, we just need to hold them. |

Not celebrating or doing a premature happy dance, but I think we're in a lot better position trying to maintain a lead then playing catch up.

1. The best available models show that we have likely 312 EV, and a win % of 75%..... |
|
Fuck that "hold them". IMPROVE more! http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/

4. I want over 300 before November 4th lined up, but I am glad we're 13 over 270 at this point, too |
|
I love fivethirtyeight, and what the model shows, but I like where we stand today, as well.

5. Drive a stake into their black hearts |

The bigger the victory the greater the mandate, the more expansive the coattails.

2. Need More, More, More...and More |

...never forget the racism factor. It's there, and it's real.

3. Here is what I think will happen: |
|
Maine (4) Obama Colorado (9) Obama Minnesota (10) Obama Wisconsis (10) Obama Michigan (17) Obama Pennsylvania (21) Obama Virginia (13) Toss up...If we hold the others and give VA to McSame Obama will still get elected and that includes giving Ohio to McSame. So as of today, Obama is sitting in great shape and I believe he will win with more than 300 electoral votes.

7. I think that's correct... |
|
I think NH goes McCain though. That boggles my mind since I'm there frequently and I don't understand why...I can only give you anecdotals but these people do/did not like Palin.
I don't know what else changed.

6. We need to shore up Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Colorado |
|
Especially PA - there is no good excuse for us to be polling that close in that state.
