But Obama supporters have been telling us for months that Obama would, and have been saying for the last month that "the polls haven't really changed at all". That is clearly not true.<BR/><BR/>Flynn, you and I will have to just disagree on this. IMO, anything over 50 is fantastic. It means the challenger not only has to get ALL of the undecideds, she has to get some of the people who are currently planning to vote for him. And I don't think she's in that great of a position financially. He's going to be able to outspend her greatly in the final days of the campaign with a strong ground game. Of course, the ground game is often staffed with volunteers, so maybe she'll be ok, but typically the candidate with the most cash handles this better.<BR/><BR/>Bayh an empty suit?<BR/>1 Term as IN SoS.<BR/>2 Terms as IN Governor.<BR/>In 2nd Term as US Senator.<BR/>Chairman of Democratic Leadership Council<BR/>Member of Armed Services Committee and Senate Select Intelligence Committee<BR/><BR/>Afraid to take a stand?

You have to hand it to Rick Davis...he's opened the Karl Rove playbook and it's working again.<BR/><BR/>Hats off to McCain. I guess Obama should just quit now. Looks like McCain's on his way to a walk away win in November. Let's just call the General Election today.<BR/><BR/>Where is that emoticon for sarcasm....did I say that out loud?Jon Easterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463536746233150209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-13154573884425845452008-08-20T14:43:00.000-05:002008-08-20T14:43:00.000-05:00Chris, for an incumbent to only have 52% is a problem. And as far as money, as long as both campaigns are adequately funded (which they are) the funding difference doesn't matter that much.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899023066910200507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-51183843109486227802008-08-20T14:32:00.000-05:002008-08-20T14:32:00.000-05:00I am an early and strong supporter of Obama....Bayh is the empty suit.artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-7754609915549016702008-08-20T12:38:00.000-05:002008-08-20T12:38:00.000-05:00Flynn,<BR/>That same SurveyUSA <A HREF="http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=da159757-0d1b-4317-a93e-37ef4daeba29" REL="nofollow">poll</A> has Daniels up by 14 over JLT.

Unemployment just hit a 14 year high. Still I think you'd have to rate Daniels the favorite. People who live in and near the Indy beltway don't realize how unpopular Daniels is in the rest of the state.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899023066910200507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-73313739513121384682008-08-19T21:50:00.000-05:002008-08-19T21:50:00.000-05:00Won't be Bayh. Too risky. The new Governor will appoint his replacement. I know there's hope that adding Bayh will give JLT a better shot, but that's a mighty big bet to place on her, when her campaign seems to be slipping. I can't believe the Dems would let Obama take a Senate seat away from them without a fight.Chris Of Rightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04710794462291764688noreply@blogger.com
