Soxy Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 09:22 PM) CNN calls WV for McCain, though it looks like a closer race than you might have thought. One of my bff's is from WV, and she said WV used to be pretty democratic--lots of union support and support for the working poor. She said that the democrats just kind of gave up on her state after 2000 and that if they focused more there the state would be competitive.

Rex Kickass Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 The only two states that Obama had at risk tonight was Pennsylvania and New Hampshire from the 252 Kerry votes that he had. Given that Ohio represents 20 votes, that brings Obama basically to 272. We won't see any blue states flipping red this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 If McCain does a modest concession speech, I will not take it seriously. I really did not like the way he ran his campaign with the smearing and cheap shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn I heard tonite that Ohio was a very strong indicator historically of which way the vote will swing.

Almost as good as an indicator as the monday night football game I don't think there is really any science to it. Factually over the past many years the winner of Ohio wins the election.
