Default So where are we at in the presidential race?

The big issue of course is the battleground states. I guess if I had to make an opinion, we are at a virtual tie for the presidency at this point in time. I make that opinion based on fact. Here is where we were for Oct 24th between Bush and Kerry in 2004 for the Battleground states:

Battleground States: Bush Kerry
Republican States 56 34
Democratic States 36 53
Battleground States 43 49


Sounds familiar to today.

Subman this belongs in the main prez topic above.

As for where things are at. Obama is ahead. Turns out the attack story was a lie and McCain's attacks are backfiring.

As long as almost everyone votes then Obama wins. Till then it aint over till its over so can we merge this?

Looks like Kerry vs Bush 4 years ago. Yawn again.

Since both are so far left, we get the same no matter which is elected.

Edit: Bush was leading all the way to election day. Kerry made gains but not enough to gain badly needed big states.

If you woke up for 2 seconds and actually looked at the page instead of being dismissive of anything that isnt your view that this is a horserace. You will notice the history bar that goes all the way back to 1968.

But then again if that does not convince you try. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Un...ntial_Election

LOTS of easier and less "on the edge" ways of raising post count.

I think he actually meant for this topic to convince others there is a horse race.

I almost hope that Barry wins just for the chance to see you spend the next 4 years defending him...
