Ohio and Wisconsin. If Obama does not get Ohio he could still win with 2 others like Colorado and Iowa. No way McCain can take any Blue states away. West coast and Northeast is blue country. Obama will win and all polls now indicate that, his margin will only widen the more McCain speaks.

Exactly. That's why his win is inevitable. That's also why the GOP is stooping to personally attacking his wife trying to avoid the real issues.

How will Obama help this country?



the first issue is the economy, the unemployment rate is now 5.5 percent. Price of gas and food had gone up and people who do not make a lot money are suffering.

* in one city alone there is more than 600 houses in foreclosure because the government doesn't support the people. Many lobbist in Washington are part of the problem. The lobbist in the the Republican party are in the interest of the elite, people who owns oil companies, pharmaceutical comp. The lobbist do not want to pay a lot tax, so the middle class is suffering because they have to pay more tax than the rich.



3, college is expensive and the loans companies are making money on the students.

4. Healthcare and insurance is a problem, many people can't afford insurance, especially low income familes.



5, the war, it takes 10 billion per month to stay in Iraq.

The politics in Washing ton needs to be fixed and the middle class families needs to get a break from paying Higher taxes than the rich. Senator Obama says that these are the problems that the county face. I believe that with the help of senator Clinton and other democrats, the problems such foreclosure, health insurcance, saftety and the costly war will be resolve. but they have to clean up the mess first. I believe the democrats will bring changes because they are in the interest of the people, not in the insterest of the lobbist or the elite or the oil industries. They can bring changes in many people's life who are now suffering.



Today, the republicans vote against a bill that will help lower the cost of gas for the Americans consumer because they make a lot profits. Also, they have business with lobbyist, According to yahoo, 93% of Mc Cain funds come from lobbyist.

Actually, he only needs one more. If Kerry would've won Ohio, he would've won.



On top of that, economic indications show Obama should win. Whenever GDP is estimated at being under 1.1%, the incumbent party almost always loses.



Is it a wonder Bush wanted to get those stimulus checks out?



Hey David, I'm curious how you think obama will lose California? The only time CA votes republican is when the republican's from there.

It's interesting that you mention "the more McCain speaks" because Republican strategists are extremely worried now about that exact same thing. The gossip leaked from Republican strategy headquarters is that they might still have a chance if McCain never has to give another speech between now and election day.



Maybe I haven't listened to enough speeches or maybe the things that matter to Republican strategists (McCain looks old and washed out, he is not dynamic, etc.) just don't matter to me. I don't think McCain makes that bad an impression.

this is the most unpredictable election in history, Everything is in Obama's favor and if history is correct Obama should win. However, this is the first election ever in which people are going to vote based on:



"well the cool black guy has been a fan favorite for the last year but if we elect him, he's calling shots for atleast the next 4 years, and can i really trust a black man being the leader of my country?"



This is what every voter white or black or brown or yellow or green is going to think for atleast one moment right before entering the voting booth!

IF~~~~~~~~



if is for children



if ifs and buts were candy and nuts

would not it be a nice Christmas!



Many things can happen between now and November.



I think it is presumptuous to put all your faith in any man who promises "change" in one speech but contradict himself when talking to the press or in an interview...maybe he could be the next president..but I want to see more of the candidates platforms and debates to make that decision;

It's way to early to start predicting winners and losers. There are too many things that can happen between now and november. Remember that old saying "don't count your chickens before they hatch", that could very well apply here.

How Obama going to make up for losing California?

Yeah, and he's going to lose many of the important Dem states. Did you know that many polls suggest that he is losing New York. How can any Dem win without winning New York?? They're all Hillary people spiting him.

I am not saying he can't win, but don't give too much credence to polls right now. A lot can happen between now and November.

Obama is going to win this year. He has to much support from lower class people, working class, younger voters and other people.



People want the republicans out of office. I am willing to be in popular vote Obama will get 60% AND McCain 40% plus or minus 4%

But unfortunately, Obama will probably not win ANY states. He may get D.C., that's about it.
