I'm a little worried about Hawaii
The latest Rasmussen poll has Obama up by 41 points there. It looks to be a nailbiter. I'm not sure how The Big O is going to pull that one out.

Hey, I should coin that term. "Laughter is the Best Medicine." Hey, Reader's Digest. Pay me big $$$ for the right to use that, okay?

I live in a deep red state right now x(...Of course even here, I have only seen 2 McCain signs and about 25 Obama signs (not counting the one in our yard ;)). I am in a liberal, university town pocket of the state so we don't have too many Freepers around..

voting for Obama. This spells trouble.

Just curious about your logic (or lack thereof) there.

36. Our best option
is to place our full trust in Dick Cheney. I just haven't trusted Obama (if that's his real name) since John McCain warned us that Obama "just doesn't get it."

45. well fundamentally the difference is guys like Dick Cheney and John McCain love their country
while Obama, well, he's a muslim. Granted he's never pissed all over the Constitution, but I just don't think he loves his country like they do.

well on his way to winning the world heavyweight title from Muhammad Ali in 1966, but he had other things to do.

Look at what happened in the Primaries. This is really going to be a nail biter.

The one who spoke at the RNC right before Rudy? She was singing TaliPalin's praises. WTF?

59. Actually, remember Hawaii giving us a scare in 2004?
When a bunch of polls came out in late October that suddenly showed Bush with a narrow lead in Hawaii?

60. Specially not with a margin of error of 50 points

It's really tough to poll people who use the same word for "hello" and "goodbye".

These Hawaiians are an inscrutable bunch of foreigners.
