John King CNN: Obama's forces taking the fight in red states FL, OH, NC , McCain is playing defense

[SuperTrouper]

The talking heads at CNN are saying that playing defense is giving a big headache to McCain and it may cost him the election. Obama is doing extremely well in NC and he only needs 33% of the white vote to prevail in NC. Florida is doable if he manages to pull about 75% of the Jewish vote in Dade and Broward counties. So keep up the strong work in these red states because if McCain is playing defense and spending money he is toast.

2. I donated today---

Let's keep fighting.

3. Obama only needs to pick off one or two of the all the red states he's battling in

Make McCain spend a lot of money trying to hold on to Virginia, North Carolina and other states. A few states will slip through to blue.

Hello President Obama and Vice President Biden!

4. Good analysis - it's kind of like an arms race - make them spend themselves to defeat

I support the 50-state strategy. In reality, it's more like 38-40, but making McCain spend time and money in states he should have wrapped up will doom him.

GOBAMA!

5. I was phone banking today in Charlotte, NC. We're going to pull it out

Loving the responses from the older voters here

6. Some offense was needed - Obama has a good defense..

but you need an offense out on the field to win.

9. i just got a call from an obama organizer

she said that they are making our county the center of their struggle here. i'm going to phone bank training on sunday afternoon. i told her some of the things i'd been seeing & the people i talk to and she was really excited.i told her how i believe mr. obama was sent here for us to help us save our country. when we win the election i told her i could just see washington & jefferson looking down from heaven saying "now this is what we had in mind" she said people will have a chance to meet the senator. i didn't even stay to shake his hand when he came to town before because i wanted others to have the chance to do it & feel his presence. just a few minutes ago i realized that he's charged right into the lions den. this is the home of the school that educated at least one of the "waffle kings" who grabbed their 15 minutes of fame in a most unchristian form. obama is not only brave but also wise to take out this adversary before they can get too powerful.

10. So, ya think McCain is gonna blow his top before the debate or during?

This is so friggin' exciting. I never know what I'm going to find when I come back to my computer! It's like Christmas every day!

[SuperTrouper]

11. McCain will implode during the debates when Obama gets under his skin

and nothing, I mean, nothing, not even Aricept, will be able to contain's McCain's temper and he may end up screaming an obscenity on National TV

[spelldmilk]

14. HeHeHe. I've pictured that, too. Definately Tivoing that event.

[Leftist Agitator]

16. "...he may end up screaming an obscenity on National TV"

My money is on McBush using the "n word" in the last debate.

Put me down for 100 Euro, the dollar will be even more worthless by then.

12. I'm in NC- never believed that McCain is "up by 20" BS

NC's going BLUE this year !! :kick:

[DemsUnited]

15. Maybe the Florida "big schlep" program will help! It was posted here a few days ago...

basically, smart and wonderful young Obama supporters convincing their Jewish grandparents living in Florida to vote Obama. Because the good lord knows, no one can talk a grandparent around like their beloved grandchild!

[musicblind]

17. I still believe that we ARE going to take NC

We have a great ground game and that will be the difference.

Getting 33% of the white vote is extremely doable!

18. Yes sir!

Been working the phones tonight in NC. :)
