Yes, I am kidding.
Interesting that you see Republican stronghold Indiana going to Obama
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call +2 points for McCain a "stronghold." Only a few days ago Obama had the lead by a slightly smaller margin. I'd say its still about fifty fifty, and when faced with pure chance I can't help but give it to Obama.
ReplyDeleteDan feel free to correct me if i am wrong but i believe what you were referencing when you called Indiana a "Republican stronghold" is the fact that it has not voted for a Democratic candidate since Lydon Johnson defeated Goldwater in 1964. I believe in the last 17 elections that was the only time it was blue. In 2004 Bush won 60% to 39% over Kerry. Indiana is often considered the most red state in the Mid-West.
ReplyDeleteWow! That Paris video was obscene. Well, I suppose that if you have the funding, you are in good shape....hmmmm
ReplyDeleteObama wins in Indiana and Missouri would both be crippling and embarrassing to the Republican party. Also, with such a large discrepancy in the electoral college, I would expect Obama to garner a little greater percentage of the popular vote.
