Obama vs McCain: Even Nebraska up for Grabs

Here is an article illustrating what i have suspected: For the first time ever, NE might split its electoral votes between Obama and McCain. This just goes to show the significant strides the Democratic Party has made in Republican strong hold states. Image the news flash that NE could split for a Democratic, a shock like that could affect the voting in the rest of the country changing voting polls and turnout in the midwest, mountain, and west coast. Republican voters are less likely to vote if they feel that their party will not win, this could cause changes in swing state such as Colorado. Right now, Barrack has a pretty solid grasp on the Democratic state (monsters like New York and California) where as John McCain might even lose his home state of Arizona (along with many other southern states like North Carolina). Right now if Barrack keeps his strong states (very likely) and wins two or three other states (very likely) Obama will get it. It seems to me that Barrack Obama is America's next president.

I also think it’s funny that throughout the turmoil in the McCain Campaign showing weakness, the loss of classic republican states, and, lest we not forget, Obama vanquishing Hilary Clinton (a far more viable, bloodthirsty foe then the Old McCain and Folksy Palin) in the primary but the media still reports the crisis and tight race, yea the tight race in Republican territory. In many cases i hear 'the polls show barrack with a lead, but is he really?' yes, all he will need is a Pennsylvania (thus far seems relatively secure) or a Colorado (the location of this year’s DNC). Though it admittedly this crisis works and i do stay tune, journalist… do your jobs and enough with the drama.

Flash backs: remember John McCain did start with great turmoil and mass firing thus many predicted that his camp was dead in the water, but he rose up and snatched the nominee. But Obama survived a much more viable, cutthroat, shrewd, politically minded rival in a MUCH MORE close race (one the likes of which has never been seen before) and still survived to win the nom. Though media seems to just rehash the primaries and copy paste last year’s stories it is interesting to see that both survived similar situation. But other have barely won the primary’s and still lost the Presidential while it is rare that anyone beats a Clinton and lives to tell about it. The miracle it took to overcome a Clinton, I think it should be easier for Obama to get this (particularly when considering McCain suffered campaign turmoil only at the beginning of the primaries not the end). So there you are :-)
