Well there has been a new plan to win one of the electoral votes from Nebraska for Obama out of it's urban areas.
It is just one but consider this,
Obama will likely win California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, and DC.
I think anyone could admit that Obama is likely to win those states, or atleast that they lean in his favor.
That makes 255 electoral votes for Obama. It only takes 270 to win.
Now you have New Mexico which has been polling good for Obama and even many wishful thinking republican supporters are admiting that this state is leaning Obama.
Thats an extra 5 votes for 260 electoral votes for Obama.
Now you also have Colorado which has been trending towards going for Obama pretty consistantly. A lot of people are admitting that this state is also likely to go for Obama.
If that happens then you can add 9 votes for a total of 269 electoral votes for Obama.
With 269 electoral votes, you are only 1 electoral vote away from winning. That one from Nebraska would be it. For the GOP, in losing New Mexico and Colorado, and a single electoral vote from Nebraska, they will have lost more than they could afford to, and they will have lost.
At that point it would not matter if McCain actually managed to come back and win Indiana which he has been losing. It wouldn't matter if McCain managed to win both Flordia and Ohio, which may be a hard battle to try to win, especially Ohio. It wouldn't matter if McCain won New Hamshire, it wouldn't matter if McCain won Virginia, which he is in danger of losing, or North Carolina, or Georgia which he very realistically could lose, nor would it matter if he won Montana and North Dakota and actually managed to keep all of the states that he has not been doing well in. It would be still be over. Done.
Please listen to me. You know there are other elections going on this year. The House of Representatives is up for election this year. You claim to want conservativism. Does your district have a conservative representing it? If the districts got your support, rather than McCain, we could make a win out of this bad time in elections. But if you continue to ignore this in favor of McCain who is a liberal anyways, then please remember what I am saying when he loses and vote in 2010. Remember that congress is powerful. They can over-ride a president. They can impeach a president. They can correct years and years of liberal mistakes in a very short amount of time if you get enough of them in there.
