i think mccain shoud of won

Democrats and the Economy

And, Barney Frank & Chris Dodd had no role. Right?

It is almost impossible to defeat Obama in less than a month

Let us assume that we are robots without emotions and preferences.

Then the data of pollsters, and the bets at INTRADE look extremely bad for McCain. That things change in less than a month is only possible through terrorist attacks or Invasions of Countries by Russia.

I want to call attention to Bets. People that bet money feel more pain than pollsters when they err. And Bettors are crazy for Obama on the Toss Up States. They know their own State and the likelihood of Swinging.

So I feel sure that Obama wins. The interesting point is How Obama will win, the toss up states more likely to give the boost to Obama.

And the Racial and Demographic Composition of the Obama Coalition.

That is what we are going to study for the next years. Raciality and Demographics are going to play a bigger role in Next Elections, For State and Nation.

McCain's ship

To use a nautical term, McCain's ship is "in irons"...in other words, he's "dead in the water". Obama is the man with the steady hand on the tiller!!!
