I think we're seeing a blowout forming, folks.
Edited on Thu Oct-02-08 12:16 PM by Drunken Irishman
Obama is opening up huge leads in states that were once up for grabs in the past two elections. I'm not just talking about Ohio and Florida, I'm talking about Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Mexico, Colorado and Iowa. These all were very close states in 2004 and Obama is either building toward a double digit lead or already has one.

That's pretty amazing.

If this continues, we could be looking at an even larger landslide than what Clinton saw in his both elections -- at least in the popular vote.

Think Reagan/Carter.

How awesome would that be?!?

13. Hey, whether I talk about it or not won't change the possibility.
I'm just saying, when a candidate is leading by double digits in a place like Michigan in October, you know something is forming.

19. It won't be Reagan/Carter. More like Clinton/Bush 1
I was looking at the electoral maps last night. IF Obama wins, the map looks closer to Clinton's win in 1992.

22. Sorry, I meant in the popular vote.
Clinton didn't come close to 50% in 1992.

I have a really good feeling Obama will easily break 50% on election day IF THIS CONTINUES.

Note I said if it continues. Obviously things change.

31. I don't think the Reagan numbers are realistic
High three hundreds yes. If Obama gets above 50% I will be elated.

35. Again, I meant popular vote when I said Reagan/Carter.
I expect an EC win a little less than Clinton in 1996, but Obama could easily clear 50%.
