The way I read realclearpolitics, McCain has to take all his solid, leaning, and EVERY toss up 2 win

No effing way.

1. I don't like the fact that RCP changed Ohio and Virginia

from Leaning Obama to toss-up.

I saw to Ohio poll today showing Obama with 6 point lead.
RCP changed it because of the Mason Dixon crap?

2. What is this Mason-Dixon crap of which you speak?

I always thought they made these adjustments out of a combination of denial, desperation, and the desire to make more money.

3. I saw that too.. this article (link) called Mason Dixon the "widely respected" poll...

5. Also remember

About 10 days to 2 weeks ago RCP said they were removing polls from any entity that endorsed Obama or McCain (I don't know if this included the state by state polls). So there may be some bias but they still have Obama winning anyway.

4. Actually...

RCP currently shows Obama with 278 electoral votes so if McCain took all his leaning and all the toss ups Obama would still win something like 278 to 260.

6. He'd have to do all that AND steal at least one current

Obama state with a value of 10 or more EVs. Very tall order. Don't see it happening. No way, No how, No McCain.
