I am so nervous about tomorrow I think I'm going to throw up. Kava kava is my friend.

Virginia, do me proud...please, please break for Obama.

I know, right?

I don't remember having chills in my stomach on November 1, 2004.

Your guy can win many ways without Virginia. McCain can't. Relax, Obama's going to win.

[ceebeegee]

I hope you're right--and I salute your generosity of spirit.

And it's also because I'm a Virginian, and for my state to go blue would be...well, incredible.

..and I thought there was no way in hell that Bush would be a two termer...
Beware the heartland. McCain ain't that far behind...

[minstrel70]

He's far enough behind in all the Kerry blue states to guarantee those 252 EV go to Obama. IA (7) and CO (9) also look like locks. There's 268. It only takes one more red state, no matter how small, to put Obama over the top. He's polling over 50% in VA and FL, and ahead of McCain in all the other "old" tossups but MO, and very close in MT, NC, ND, and even red stalwart IN. It would be nothing short of miraculous for McCain to run the table. And if he doesn't, he has to take PA, where he trails by 7-10 points in the last polls.

Could it be close? Maybe. But it's much more likely to be an Obama blowout. RCP has him winning at least 278 comfortably and ahead in states totalling 338. My money is still on 384.
