O thank you, Little Baby Jebus. Thank you so much!

I want Obama to win by a landslide.

But winning Arizona? It's uncomfortably like grinding McCain's face in the dirt of his state and yelling, "EAT IT, OLD MAN!!!"

Greater love hath no man than this: if Obama trounces McVile in Az., I'll quit smoking. That's how badly I want to see it happen...

The hope and news here is fantastic...the end of of reagan economics...trickle down...rove tactics...fear...war...lies and corruption...cheney...torture..raids on our constitutional rights...

love it and tuesday night will be an outstanding occasion for all!

Obama will still lose AZ by 5-6 points, but the fact that it is that close will annoy McCain. Which I like.

Not to mention the fact that it will further support a media narrive of "this thing is over, McCain has to defend his own home state!"

Hee hee, Rick Davis insists Iowa is dead even, but he doesn't mention Arizona is!

Just looking at the map,,,, McCain doesn't seem to be doing so well in his old Confederacy base land,,,, good for Dixie, the tide is turning.

Jeff Davis and Mars Robin would not tolerate this presence in their day,,,, Change is truly coming. Win Georgia.

Time to make another donation. I support full out war against the old man in my former college state!!!!!
(And you're right, hootowl, my area of dixie is goin' blue....please, God, please, God....)

Somewhat OT, but I'm driving through the red regions of Wisconsin this week.

It's incredible - I'm seeing signs and hearing Dem radio ads for the state assembly (lower house) and Senate in areas that haven't even seen a Dem on the ballot in recent history. This is happening in districts where the Republican incumbents thought they'd be in for life!

Obama's landslide will be great. I can't wait to see the effect downticket. This could really be fun.

What? McCain getting heat from some young upstart in his own backyard? Well there's nothing to say to that except:

THIS

Here's an excerpt from Stan Greenberg's letter to Bill McInturff.

True, McCain and Palin have made “Joe the Plumber” famous, but not in ways that have been helpful to McCain. In our tracking of people’s viewing of the news and communications over the previous few days, what they have heard about Obama has made them more favorable by 10 points (46 to 36 percent), while what they have heard about McCain has made them less favorable by 8 points (36 to 44 percent). Week after week, Obama gets favorable comments from voters, but McCain, mostly negative.

Last week, we tested the big, unfolding tax debate - including the “Joe the Plumber” storyline of wealth redistribution, raising taxes on the wealthy and cutting taxes for the middle class. Obama was winning that argument by 14 points (see Democracy Corps poll of 1,000 likely voters nationwide conducted October 21-23, 2008). In this battleground poll, Obama has taken virtually no water on being “too liberal” or “will raise my taxes” - both essentially unchanged over the past month at 51 percent.

In our regression modeling for the presidential battleground states, the two biggest drivers of the vote are who “brings the right kind of change” and who is “on your side.” Obama enjoys double-digit advantages over McCain on both - with about 53 percent of likely voters choosing him, creating an upward pressure on the vote. The structure of this race just has not changed as we have moved to the finish line.

The irony of McCain's wins now being in remnants of the Old Confederacy, is that just like President Davis' comment during the winter of 63-64 when states with excess winter clothing, Georgia especially, would not share it with the armies of Lee and Johnson. In disgust, Davis observed that the Nation was dying of a theory, state soverignty,,,, John McCain'd campaign is likewise dying of a theory,,, a failed economic and governance model of what has become his own party. The Rove theory of slim baby slime isn't helping much either.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if McCain did not run for re-election in 2010. The number of R's who have endorsed Obama is a pretty strong indicator that the slimy campaign he's run has badly damaged his reputation, perhaps permanently.

McCain losing twice?
Reminds me of the old joke from the 60s. Definition of a three time loser; a pregnant prostitute wearing a Nixon pin while driving an Edsel.
