In the electoral college race we are in better position than McCain

[gabeana]

Because the Electoral College - not the popular vote - determines who is president, the presidential contest isn't one national election but rather 50 statewide contests. And polls in those states give Obama and the Democrats a commanding lead in the electoral vote

1. we are no better or worse than we were 4 years ago

As I said in another thread, Obama still needs to win PA, MI and OH. If he does it, he's the president. If not - it will be difficult. Sure there are other paths to 270 but this is the easiest way.

2. Yes. The hard work is still in front of us, but so is the entyusiasm

and loyalty and dedication and likelihood of new friends and colleagues toward a common cause.

This is a tremendous opportunity and it feels pretty darned good.

Let's light up the scoreboard on the Pukes.

3. What MSM doesn't want you to know.......

A very close race is best for their profit margin.
