McCain is going to open up a lead in every one of the states you listed that will never be overcome this time.

[i hate nbc and cnn]

what about nevada

[adventures7]

Do we even have a chance in PA?

[lakerchick4life]

DAMN why why why do I have to live in California..I don't live in Republican Orange County but Los Angeles County..I think it's pretty much Obama Nation over here..depends on the area..Jewish areas are definitely NOT Obama..I really wish for once..California would go republican :D

[skc1976]

I have to say, down here in SWVA, the swing lately is definitely for McCain/Palin. I've yet to hear a bad thing about Palin from any GOPers. And I know quite a few Obamians that have even had praise to say about her. I think VA may stay red, but glad there will be polls here. I can't wait until they call here.

I am glad to see that McCain is gaining in Pennsylvania.

I think Philadelphia is the only reason why he's over the top right now.

[lakerchick4life]

WOW McCain is kicking butt in Ohio

[hillwillwin08]

I think Philadelphia is the only reason why he's over the top right now.

47 + 45 = 92

The other 8% = ?

Undecideds generally don't go for Obama but who knows right now.

A collective look at newly released FOX News/Rasmussen Reports state surveys shows Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia will be key battlegrounds in a very competitive race for the Whit House.

Four of the five state polls show Barack Obama and John McCain within 3 percentage points of each other. The sole exception — Ohio — shows McCain with a 51 percent to 44 percent advantage and also remains competitive.

I believe you are correct. Meant to tell you before but it slipped my mind. My sister lives in Philly and was threatened by BO people that she would get hurt if she voted for Hillary. These threats started early. Early enough for her to get so mad that she switched parties (she's a mod repub) to vote for Hillary. (Made me real happy) My sis is fiesty. When she was threatened, she cursed them out good and marched straight to the dem office to switch parties. I doubt she would vote for Hillary in the GE. But that's a moot point at this juncture.

Please everyone take any extra time you have to volunteer to canvass, blog, phone bank.
We want to keep this going.

Has she reported her experiences to the people who are collecting these stories? It's important they get as many as they can. Fox is collecting them now; but PUMA/JSND people have been collecting them for some time.

He is going to kick butt here Philly is not the most important part of the state it always goes Democrat but the battleground is Allegheny County. Alleheny County is much bigger then Philadelphia and is the biggest county in the state of PA--it has Pittsburgh and 163 boroughs. I doubt it will go with Philly and be blue. Its going to go red and turn the state red. Remember the polls give Obama a five point lead so actually PA is really McCain by 3.
