I was gonna make this a flowchart, but it’s too simple.
If you watch the election returns on November 4, here’s all you have to keep in mind:
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Virginia
North Carolina
Florida
If Obama wins any two of those states, it’s pretty much game over for McCain. They’re all in the eastern time zone, too, with polls closing between 7:00 and 8:00 that evening (EST), so it could be an early night. If Obama wins three or more of them, it’s definitely game over.
This is based on which states Obama has solidly (by more than 10 points and no flip-flopping). States with a smaller Obama lead I assume go to McCain, which I think is pretty generous.
Build your own scenarios over at CQ.

Dave,
Its been part of the GOP strategy for years, since Tom Delay and his band of criminals started gerrymandering states to ensure GOP control. The voter purging project disporportionalty impacts the poor who tend to vote democratic. This is what the Justice attorney’s who were fired by Monica goodling refused to prosecute – something that the White House is quietly trying to do again.
This should be investigated and the people responsible thrown in prison. People who attempt to destroy our democracy – of any party – are villians commiting a crime only a short step from treason.

For what it’s worth, I first heard of Barack Obama on this blog.

Has anyone here been keeping up with this “voter purging” that’s going on? From what I gather in the articles I’ve read most of this is happening in states with Republican run state governments. No indications of who and why US natural born citizens are being purged. Most through tactics and methods that are against federal law.
Makes me wonder if “most” of those being purged are registered democrats. Last ditch effort on the Republicans part to rig the election. LOL
