I'm annoyed

Up here in Washington, neither McCain nor Obama have spent much money on TV ads. We've been pegged as a blue state since the serious campaigning began, so I figured they didn't want to waste their ad money here. As I was eating dinner, I was surprised to see a very tasteful, positive Obama ad. Gee! He didn't forget us! During the next break, there was a McCain ad. It was the same old crap, and the whole focus was on Obama's relationship with Jeremiah Wright, and how devastating that kind of belief system would be to the country.

Such pure, unadulterated horse pucky.

I cannot wait for Tuesday!

Yeh. Me, too. Something tells me it ain't gonna be over that soon, though.

[Pam]

Well, if it's not over on Tues at least we won't be bothered by political ads.

Unless you mean the next 3 days are going to drag on and on

I think it is pretty much going to come down to Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania's not going to be a problem. Pennsylvania is also on the East Coast, so we should know before bedtime unless your bedtime's at 9 or something.

Here's why I think it will come down to Pa. This guy is scary smart.

Uggg - you're kidding me! The McCain camp is actually so desperate to GO there?! After Obama didn't pick at Palin for HER wacky religion?

there is absolutely no reason to conclude that McCain is competitive in Iowa, and there is a slew of evidence that Obama is on track to win New Hampshire, even if the UNH Tracking Poll is now coming a bit off its outlier-ish numbers. Ohio is another big problem for McCain. Except for the Strategic Vision poll, everything else we’ve added to the database over the past several days shows Obama with leads ranging from 3 points to 16 (though the latter result, from Ohio University, looks very much like an outlier). In North Carolina, which seemed to be tightening last week, Obama now appears to be holding on to a very small lead, and much of that state has voted too.

So given this morass, Pennsylvania seems to be the one thing that McCain has to hang his hat on. But he remains very unlikely to win it, and even if he does, Obama has any number of firewall states that could preserve a victory for him. McCain’s win percentage is down to 2.8 percent, his lowest number of the year.
