Poll question: What color is your state right now?
I don't care which polls or maps you use--just go with your gut instinct.

1. Solid red. McCain could take a shit on our state flag and he'd still win with 60% of the vote.

4. I don't get why Mc/P is buying TV commercial time in California.
Seems CA is a lost cause for the Rs, why would they throw away money here?

10. It comes down to money.
If they are visible here in Ca, they can hit up Orange Co for more money. It's really that simple.

23. Because we love to watch Comedy on TV?

The valley and other pockets of California are always red, even that
fucktard place called Bakersfield.....

I've met people from there and they wonder why
the hell they never move out before they did
let alone settle there.

We shouldn't get smug. Gregoire is in a difficult fight for the governorship.

20. I want to believe the majority of voters in this state can't be stupid enough to elect Rossi.
But it was so close last time and Rossi is really peddling his "compassionate conservative" b.s.

There's no way the state will go for McCain, though. right? :scared:

55. Rossi is blatantly lying in his sickening TV ads, not to mention the whole "I'm NOT a Repuke" myth
"Christine Gregoire.... doing to Washington what THEY did to America"

Excuse me?


The "they" in question, Dino Dumbass, is YOUR idol Chimp Bush and the Repuke party that both of you belong to.

He's worse than McCain is in trying to run against his own party failures.

Problem is, the same idiots who buy Tim Eyman's sales pitches will probably buy Dino's lies. The ones who never see beyond the rhetoric. And they sure aren't going hear the truth from the idiots at the local right wing BELO or Fisher Broadcasting affiliates that run these damn ads every 5 minutes.

58. He's repulsive and so are his ads.
I just want to throw something at the television. I'm not Gregoire's biggest fan, but Dino Rossi is faker than Palin and just as unqualified. I hope the Tim Eyman voters enjoy their cheap license plate renewals, when Rossi plunges the state into chaos.

In a red corner of Ohio, the west side of Cincinnati where it seems by golly a little less red but there still are a lotta Republican KoolAid drinkers here, youbetcha.

19. Nevada would be light blue
As long as Obama maintains a national margin of at least a few points, he'll carry Nevada. This state has been underperforming in Democratic stronghold Clark County, but the recent emphasis and registration drives are extremely impressive.

26. Austin - the liberal Oasis of red Texas.
Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 09:56 PM by TwilightZone
The city is liberal; most of the suburbs are conservative. Makes for an interesting combination.

Edit: make that one of the liberal oases of Texas. It's not the only one!

Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 10:10 PM by Skip Intro

I think it'll be closer here in SC than most think, but in the end, it is a red state. Maybe 2012 for us. For now, I'm pulling for NC, and VA (in my neck of the woods).

48. I have no idea in the world.
If rally attendance is any indication, Alaska is going 4 to 1 for Obama, but I know that can't be possible. While public opinion seems to be running strongly against Sarah, I don't know if it's enough to sway the die-hards to vote for a "liberal" like Obama. Nobody ever polls us, so it's anybody's guess. If Alaska goes blue it will be like a rebirth up here, a regeneration of our state's Democratic roots. It will be a miracle of Biblical proportions. O8)

All those 80 degree days in September made me forget it wasn't actually summer anymore. And now the weather's "normal" and it sucks.

But it's blue mud and not red mud at least.

57. PA, it's light blue, looking safer for Obama, but could potentially flip to McCain still
By 'could potentially flip' I don't mean the like 8%+ margin Obama has here now isn't enough, I mean if Obama's poll numbers start to slip here and nationally he could still lose it. Say if McCain gets a game changing debate performance.
