See above. Those percentages would be of the people who actually participated in the polls. They (the PUMA’s) claim that they have an identified constituency of over 8 million and think that there are significantly more. They don’t take kindly to the Obama camp thugging up the caucuses and the DNC selecting Obama.

We’ll see who is delusional on the 5th. It could very well end up being you

You are seriously delusional.

Would you like to know why no poll has taken the alleged PUMAs into consideration? Because they do not exist in numbers anywhere near enough to make a statistical blip. If they did, they would have shown up somewhere.

For the past month, Obama and McCain has both had between 86-89% of support inside their own party. So – where are they?

PUMA’s are the difference in this election that no poll has taken into consideration. They will deliver the election for McCain, he carries 40 states. Over 18 million voted for Hillary in a bitterly contested primary and they are bitter about the DNC selecting Obama.

It is not out of the realm of possibility that McCain carries California, maybe even New York if enough of the Hillary vote goes to McCain/Palin. The PUMA’s love Palin.

I do not have the list handy, but many states do NOT require their Electors to abide by the popular vote. The total EVs in those states is about 240 as I recall. I researched this a few months ago to see if Hillary would carry her fight to the Electoral College.

I am NOT a PUMA, nor did I vote for Hillary on Feb. 5 because she isn’t a very good senator. However, I was reading Hillbuzz yesterday, and someone there estimated 14 million Hillary voters would vote for Obama, one million would stay home, and three million for McCain. Hard to know where they live.

I always thought a lot of Hillary voters starting with Ohio on March 4 were actually votes against Obama, just like my vote on Feb. 5 was a vote against Hillary.

As to Massachusetts being deep blue? 49% of voters are not registered with either party. Gov. Romney’s legacy has improved with the disappointment of Gov. Patrick (Axelrod’s test run for Obama approval rating is seeking to move up to 45%). Lots of veterans, lots of very patriotic people who fly their flag every day. Employment is holding up ok. You just never know what may happen on Nov. 4, even in Massachusetts. It will depend on turnout. Same for New York.

“I live in one of those states that no one ever considers going red. However, I do believe we will get rid of our Democratic governor this year because her administration failed big time. ”

And you might point out that she was never elected in the first place, she got in by ‘counting’ fraud.

And…Barack Obama would still (likely) be elected president. Assuming that the congressional districts would tend to vote for the president of the same party as the person they elected to the House, you did notice that the Democrats hold the majority, yes?

Besides, if one or two cities carry a state, well, that’s still the majority of the population of the state who voted. There’s nothing magical about living outside cities that makes one’s opinion worth more or more important.

Besides, almost 60% of the US population lives in rural areas of 200,000+ population, and over 80% in metropolitan areas. Only 20% of the population lives in areas that can be considered rural. Why should that shrinking 20% have a greater say than the 80% that’s growing?

Obama does not think he will have the time to engage in crazy things; what does that say about the case if he suddenly finds the time?

It is unbelievable to hear somebody asking for your support/vote saying that only lack of time will stop him from engaging in stupid things.

Anybody voting for Obama will get their just reward and they do so being fully warned by none other than Obama.

and not very well. Your thesis is so full of errors it’s not worth the effort to refute all of them. You could learn a lot from Google.
Funny how we keep getting told how to vote by Canadians, French, Scotch, Aussies, etc. Notice how those countries all vote for Socialist black leaders in their countries?

Anyway, if commercials are a sign of how a candidate is doing in a state, this state is staying blue. There are very few ads from either side. There have been more of Obama lately but that might be because he has to spend his ill-gotten campaign funds somewhere.

If I was McCain one of the first thing I would do after being inaugurated, I would call for an investigation on Obama’s campaign funds. It is so clear that there has been massive fraud in that area.

Not US history anyway, he’s from Scotland. I googled him. He denies it, but I checked him out. He posts on several blogs and they all refer to him as being from scotland.
I’m reasonably sure also that he comments as conman and norm on this blog…

But that notwithstanding, the fact remains that by going back to the per-district system, the electoral vote nationally will more closely match the popular vote nationally and give a voice back to the rural areas as originally intended as the purpose of the electoral college. As it stands now, one or two cities carry an entire state. Most of Pennsylvania is Republican except Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. All any candidate needs is one popular vote more and they gets a share of electoral votes completely out of line with his popularity as a candidate.

And I believe “Winner take all” didn’t start until the late 1800′s when states were given control of their electors.
