Hi Frank! Suffice it to say McCain was not my first choice. I am, like Mark, a real conservative and not one of these pro-choice Neocon cowboys we see here daily. I strongly believe most people will see McCain as the only choice and will say no how, no way, Nobama. LOL <That was fun> I am also counting on the "Bradley Effect".
I have been working the phones for the McCain campaign here in (the heavily Democratic) Cuyahoga County and I will tell you Obama will make a very strong showing in the city of Cleveland itself but McCain leads in the western and far eastern suburbs. It will come down to who shows up to vote. Southern Ohio tends to be more conservative and hopefully will show up and vote for McCain because he can't win if he doesn't take Ohio. Only 28 more days of Obamanation. On a real message board we could sticky this "Predictions" thread. Is that possible here?

McCain has a few very serious hurdles I don't think he can clear; - People are fed up with Bush and Obama has successfully interconnected McCain and Bush. - The Palin smear campaign has worked. Eventually, even the SNL skits take their toll. - The MSM bias is too great to overcome and most people don't seem capable of critical thinking on their own. - McCain and the Republicans don't seem to have a clue how to attack Obama. I don't mean the stupid, snide commercials.. I mean the major, fundamental differences. Let’s see if he shows anything tonight. I'll go so far as to say it will be a electoral college landslide (popular vote won't be as overwhelming) and the MSM will be talking about an Obama mandate.
