My point exactly. The population of this forum would heavily favor McCain. But how many electoral votes is TFL worth?
I searched some polls today. Right now most polls show Obama with about 218 electoral votes and McCain with 168. That leaves 142 undecided. If these polls hold, Obama only needs to win 37% of the undecided ones while McCain needs 72% of them to reach 270.
Yes, anything can happen from now to November. But I am going to repeat myself, McCain's personality, or lack of it, ain't going to close this gap. Some you mention that Obama will be the media darling. I agree, that means that McCain needs to be that much stronger a candidate. I just don't see it.
