Title: Who will be our next President?
Post by: mrburns918 on November 03, 2008, 03:34:54 PM
Well? Who is going to win? Want to guess the percentages?

No percentages here, but I think McCain will win. They say the Bradley effect is not valid, I disagree.


Mr. Burns
Bob Barr for President

I actually think the reverse Bradley effect will be prevalent, and we shall have our first black president.

I also think it'll be Obama.  I'm hoping for a landslide, but the pragmatist in me wants to bet on a closer margin than is being predicted by the polls.  Fool me once, shame on me.  Fool me twice . . . . won't get fooled again.


Obama by 4%, and less than 300 EVs.

Obama by 6pts popular and over 300 electoral.

Finally, I won't have to suffer the McCain/Palin rallies at 9am each day and Obama at 10am. Its been like "groundhog day" the movie for about a month.

Obama will win the popular vote by 3 or 4%.  He'll get over 300 electorial votes--my previous guess was 364.  I still think that will be close, though I am not sure about Fla and NC.  

I was in Missouri helping out over the weekend.  Obama's ground game is incredible.  He has volunteers everywhere, including republican strongholds.  Even in rural southwest MO, I saw Obama signs on farms & haybales.  In Springfield, some 30,000 people showed up for his rally.  It was incredibly organized, and the volunteers were competent & polite (herding 30,000 people through security can be a stressful job).  Bottom line, I think he will win Missouri simply because his campaign is better organized & energized.

I agree with you there.  A few of us just want it all to be over so we can talk and hear about things that affect us everyday and forget about all the bums in DC for a little while.

Where was the "Bradley effect" in the primaries?
Title: Who will be our next President?
Post by: highroadtaker on November 03, 2008, 07:43:48 PM
Obama by about 3%. He'll get slightly less than 300 electoral college votes (286-ish).

Wow, mark the date.  For once I agree with you.

I think the Bradley effect, given the date of it's origin and the fact that there was only one election (and not a primary on top of it) sort of debunks that.

It's going to be much like Dewey and Carter, with McCain being the winner over the liberal medias efforts.

If Obama had a chance, he lost it bigtime with his coal remarks that were released today.

You REALLY think McCain will win!??!

Best laugh I've had all day.

My fearless prediction:

Oklahoma called for McCain at 7:00 on the nose.
However, by 11:00pm, Obama will be declared the next President. ;)

Media bias?  Are you kidding?

These remarks weren't released today; they've  been around since Jan 17th.  If this was such a big issue, why didn't McCain or Palin bring it up in any of the debates?

Desperate fear-based tactics to find any piece of dirt they can throw at Obama... turned into a last-minute campaign issue by Newsbusters and Drudge... these guys have tried every single "October Surprise" they could think of...

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=14&entry_id=32228&type=politics

The truth: the paper's January editorial board session with Obama included comments about coal. The entire interview has been in the public domain, available on line to the public -- and to the McCain campaign -- since early January.

''How can anyone suggest that we hid an interview that we did, immediately put up on the web -- and advertised to our readers,'' said editorial page editor John Diaz Sunday, regarding his hosting of Obama at the session. ''We promoted it like like hell...and I'm sure the Clinton campaign and the McCain campaign scrubbed it. You can still find the whole 48 minutes and 33 seconds on line.''

Obama's campaign responded to Palin's comments today, noting correctly that the wide-ranging interview also included the Illinois Senator's comments that the idea of eliminating coal plants was ''an illusion.''

Apparently neither campaign, until now, ever felt there was much worth mentioning regarding Obama's coal comments. But it's now two days before the election and McCain is in a do-or-die battle in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

A final note: the shoddy Newsbusters blog has been caught in the past simply fabricating news regarding the Chronicle's coverage. Our paper has demanded corrections for their fiction, but to no avail.

We contacted Bill Riggs, regional press secretary of the Republican National Committee tonight on his emailing of this erroneous report suggesting a ''hidden'' Chronicle audiotape to political reporters. His response: he didn't confirm it, or write the headline. He just sent it out.


He got taken. And so did the rest.

Republicans never , E-V-E-R get a fair dealing when it comes to polling. Even you Dems know that. Dems need a minimumum 6% lead in the polls just to have a chance. I'm not betting against the most horrible mistake in American history becoming President, because, depending on the polls, B.O. is close. I'm praying, for the sake of our Constitution and the future of this nation, that the Bradley effect hits 1 or 2% and the 2nd biggest mistake gets elected instead.

GO McCain!!! You suck, but a lot less!! :)

I find it heartening that you are praying for the sake of the Constitution.

I will assume this has been an ongoing prayer since the election of W. Bush considering the shredding, defiling, spitting, and wiping he and his slack jawed yokels of a cabinet have done to our great Constitution.

If you disagree then consider your ignorance and lack of accountability as part of the reason why Obama got elected.

I don't think a presidency can get any more Facist, Communist and Anti-American as the George W. Bush presidency.

Obama has some big time loser shoes to fill. Maybe for your sake he can pull it off so you can rejoice in Obama taking the title from W. Bush as the worst President in the history of this country.
