obama wins in a landslide

There is still an election on November 4th to go through. So let's not count our chickens before they hatch. Lots of things could take place in the next month or so. We won't know who is the winner until November 5th.

Livinglegend, If Obama "builds" on what John Kerry did in 2004 he will be just as dissappointed as Kerry was because he will also lose!

To "build" on what Kerry did in 2004, Obama must first make up for support that Kerry got, but Obama has lost. Kerry lost because he got almost all the Democrat vote, but didn't attract enough independents or Republicans. Obama is not only losing among independents, but a significant number of Democrats refuse to vote for him. Of course, nothing is decided until voting day, so we'll see how your predictions pan out.

I hope you're right. I don't think I could stand four years of McCain.

Well, if what you say is true then my only disappointment would be that he didn't make Governor Blagojevich his running mate. That way Illinois would be rid of two of its corrupt politicians. As my Grandmother always told me ... Watch for what you wish for because you never know what you might get.

It would be my dream to have Barack Obama win by a landslide, but I think it's going to be too close for comfort and the GOP will be doing as much manipulation and challenging as they can to prevent people from voting for him. They've already begun many of their tricks. My hope is that McCain and Palin made so many mistakes and missteps between now and November 4 that people are turned off by them. I don't mean those who already are, but those who are leaning towards them, but aren't really passionate about it. We so desperately need a serious change in this country - it's going to be the only thing that will bring us back - I honestly believe that.

Who is adding up your numbers on the election? This morning's polls put Obama at 49% and McCain 44%. Somehow I just can't see a landslide in those figures, but then, Obama has never been good at math. I wonder how much more I should inflate my tires before my great gas savings kick in.

Well I am leaving the country on November 6th and will already have left my home county on election day. I voted absentee on the 25th. I was at the courthouse just before 8a.m. and by 8.05a.m. John McCain had his first vote. Obama didn't have any at that point because I was the only one there.

Many people thought that John Kerry would in the election back in 2004 but he didn't. You never know what will happen until it happens. Some will say that John McCain will win.

Hope Im not being to pessimistic but I would be just as suprised if he did win by a landslide. So much undertones of racism has crept to the surface this year and even suprised me because I felt like the US was this country that was past all this man was I naive. I still believe many people will not allow such a landslide for this reason, because Obama is black and it goes against their principles. If there was a landslide win I could only see it as if something happened to McCain and Palin is left all by her lonesome and then people and people flock to Obama scared s--less of what damage Palin could do.

It's hard for me to imagine Obama winning by a landslide, but I suppose it's possible. I feel certain there are some who will vote for him just because he has some African-American in him (as if that qualified him for president) and some won't vote for him for the same reason (as if that disqualified him). Personally I don't see what all the hoopla is over the man. As far as I can tell, he has nothing to recommend him for President. So many talk about Palin's lack of experience, but I can't see that Obama is much, if any, better. I'm not wild about McCain either. Whoever wins, I think we're in for a difficult four years, but I sure hope I'm wrong.

to bad, i think mccain has way more experience.

I personally trust and believe on Obama's plans and abilities to bring back the Glory America once had. And I'm very optimistic that he can win the US election. But honestly I'm afraid of his safety, I'm afraid that there's a possibility that he could get assassinated. I'm not exaggerating, sorry for jumping into a harsh conclusion but maybe I admire him too much the same as how I admire Martin Luther King. And maybe I'm just too paranoid about Obama's security. Maybe just because they are both black. And in the history of America there was not a single black president ever that took the seat of the white house commander, and there's a conspiracy that the CIA won't allow a black president in the U.S. I just hope all these conspiracies are wrong

I still think this election could go either way. There are too many variables I think to say who will win. This has been a long election cycle. A lot of poeple are just getting sick of it. It all comes down to one thing. Will they show up to vote. Sure the hard core political followers will. But with all the problems going on right now, is the average american going to bother to show up? Who wins the election is all down to one thing.....whoever gets the most supporters to vote wins. It is shocking how many american's do not vote. It just depends on how motivated the average american is to vote. Too many people think their vote does not make a difference so they do not bother. It is sad. No matter who you like, vote. The only wasted vote is the one that is never cast. I have to say honestly I hope he doesn't win. But then I do not like McCain either. I do not see either of them as a good president.

I am not convinced by the prediction of a landslide, though it is possible if this economic crisis keeps up til election day, then it might happen. More likely is that it will be fairly close until the end. If we look at the electoral college map, yes Obama is ahead right now but not by a huge margin (predictions currently is that he would take Iowa, Virginia, New Mexico and Colorado, but Virginia and Colorado are still within the margin of error and could easily flip back. New Hampshire, which Kerry won last time, is very close. So if McCain regains momentum, things could be very tight indeed. But if this economic crisis dominates the rest of the election, then yes I see Obama winning, but probably not by a landslide.

I hope Obama wins, McCain for some reason is getting on nerves; possibly WW3 with that guy. I'm tired of Bush, we need someone that can at least try to change America although I doubt Obama will do everything he says, its hell of alot better than McCain.
