Stephanie Miller : It's going to be an Obama landslide

[bigdarryl]

I agree with her and Dan and the rest of the pundits just laughed at her she will have the last laugh in ninety days mark my word.

1. Probably right...which show was this? Dan Abrams?

My new least favorite show is the David Gregory Race show. It has Maddow on it and even then sucks.

2. last laugh - what a catchy line...........

Gawd, I hope she's right.

[LostinRed]

3. I hope so

If Obama keeps up the great response ads and continues to expose McCain for being another Bush, she'll be right and we can all celebrate.

4. I love Stephie but...I doubt it n/t

[MadMaddie]

5. They laughed because deep down they know it's true!

6. But will *they* report it that way?

7. Not a popular vote landslide, EC landslide, though.

10. Historically - No Democrat Has Won A Majority of Pop Vote in Over 30 Years

I think people are being unrealistic if they expect a landslide, except perhaps in the electoral vote. With the popular vote, the last time a Democrat won more than 50% of the popular vote was Jimmy Carter in 1976 shortly after the end of the Vietnam war and following the impeachment of Nixon. YET, even Carter could only garner 50.1 percent of the popular vote. Bill Clinton never won a majority of the popular vote. Ironically, Gore came closest to winning the popular vote, but he was still under 50%. So, I think a landslide is unrealistic given that an impeachment and the thousands of dead Americans due to the Vietnam war could not pave the way for a landslide for Jimmy Carter.

11. This is like the delegates vs popular vote debate we saw in our primaries

As long as electoral votes are the measure used to determine the winner - the popular vote becomes inconsequential. But I also suspect Senator Obama will win the popular vote too.

13. You may be right, but . . .

When I read threads about a landslide or even more specifically, hear people complain that Obama should be further ahead in the polls, I cringe, because that just ignores history. There is a sizable segment of the population, about 33 percent, who will vote Republican even if John McCain himself competed in the Ms. Buffalo Chip competition.

This will be a tight election, and we should not take granted how successful Obama has been or how difficult it is going to be to win in November. If Obama does manager to capture a majority of the popular vote, as well as an electoral victory, that would be pretty incredible historically.

8. Not unless we work our asses off. So quit getting comfortable.

We're running against soulless criminals, remember? If we don't work our asses off, the Rape-Publicans are going to hand them to us.

NGU.

9. Bingo.

12. Let's not let one good day go to our heads

If Obama starts to pull away, the media will make it close again. I think there are going to be more tough days - and a lot of hard work - between now and victory.
