I was pointing out that it has happened in the past and could happen again, regardless of the margin held. Maybe Obama has this tied up all nice and tidy, but we won't know that until after the SC rules and after the electoral college has convened and voted and Congress has confirmed their vote. The third is a shoo-in since he has a majority Congress. The other two are up in the air for now.

Obama won by a very large margin... i f you sm
If you want to say not a landslide and that somehow makes you almost smile, oh well, sorry for you. OBAMA WON AND THE SMART PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM. ALL THE DUMMIES AND RACISTS WENT REPUB. EVEN DECENT REPUBS VOTED FOR HIM.

Yes, but Obama was leading more than the margin of error....
he has lost that, and McCain has been on top, with the margin of error...for several days now. Nice try, but no cigar. The polls have shifted. And Rasmussen is still creeping up. Obama had a pretty sizeable lead and that has been eaten up. He is not back to where he was, and McCain continues to inch up.

And I believe you said Obama was ahead in the polls. He isn't. Nice try.

And no I don't agree that the military poll is an accurate indicator of the military vote. I think it is indicative of a poll being pointed at deployed soldiers who are disenchanted with the current administration. It did not poll any veterans living here in the US and it did not poll Iraq veterans who have returned home. And with the huge amount of deployed soldiers is minute at best.

Nice try at the smoke screen, tho.

All that being said...polls are what they are, and can change daily. What is remarkable in this the big shift in Independents and unaffiliated voters moving toward McCain from Obama.

We will just have to see how it all pans out in coming days.

By a very slim margin with a republican president. nm
.

A 12-vote margin out of 400+ votes suggests
If not, folks, it really is "turn out the lights", because this could be the biggest tax increase and worst policy bill that has EVER BEEN CONSIDERED BY CONGRESS in the history of this country.

6.5% is a pretty strong margin for "such a poor choice"
and any pretense on your part to know why someone did or did not vote for him is pure speculation. As for me, not only was he the best choice by a long-shot, but he hold the promise of being a great leader...in Colin Powell's words, a "tranformational figure" at a time when the country needed it the most.
