Re: Zogby sees possibility of a McCain landslide
The presidential election might be a tight race now, but one of the country's top pollsters thinks the race will end in an electoral landslide.
John Zogby, president of Zogby International, told a group of businesspeople today that it's up to Democratic Sen. Barack Obama to convince voters to go with him. If he's not successful, the country will likely vote for 'a comfortable old shoe', that being Republican Sen. John McCain.
Despite the books Obama has written, Americans are still asking, 'Who are you, where are you from?,' Zogby said.
Zogby spoke at the College at Brockport's Business Briefings breakfast series at the college's MetroCenter campus on St. Paul Street. He was promoting his new book, The Way We'll Be: The Zogby Report of the Transformation of the American Dream.
Re: Zogby sees possibility of a McCain landslide
Even though the bailout deal has stalled right now, if McCain can get some progress done tomorrow, early, do the debate after all, walk in, spank Obama, and head back to Washington...
McCain might win in landslide, because he'll make Obama look like a lightweight.
Re: Zogby sees possibility of a McCain landslide
Oh, and before someone tries to refute this somehow, he obviously isn't referring to Reagan type landslides where you get over 500 electoral votes. He isn't crazy. I take it as a symbolic landslide where McCain grabs all the Bush states and a few key states Obama needed to win the presidency.
That sort of landslide is possible regardless of what happens between now and election day.
Re: Zogby sees possibility of a McCain landslide
Well unfortunately for Obama, he hasn't bridged the gap to get Republicans to vote Democrat.
From what i've seen, party lines are still party lines for most. McCain can be guaranteed the "bible belt" who will never vote Democrat, and Obama can be guaranteed California & the north east, who will never vote Republican.
At this point, it could go either way. Don't be shocked if Obama wins Florida, which will be a HUGE loss to McCain.
Re: Zogby sees possibility of a McCain landslide
If there's going to be a landslide, it will be in McCain's favor. Obama has to hope to keep it close and close on the last week. He has much more at stake over the next couple weeks than McCain. McCain's worst case scenario is that it's a close election...Obama's is that he was never in it.

This post is fucking delusional. You might want to check all the state polls. Obama has more guaranteed votes at this point than McCain, who has a shitload more "toss-ups" than he should at this point...states that are red but are considering voting for Obama. That's a bad sign for McCain.
Re: Zogby sees possibility of a McCain landslide
Not delusional, it's called reality. Polls are useless. What people say now means absolutely nothing. History is a much better judge of what's going to happen than what people say.
There are way too many people in this country that will never, ever vote for Obama no matter what he stands for, but most of them won't say so now. they don't want to answer the question "why?" honestly.

Well then, I'd say everything this country purportedly stands for is a load of shit if its citizens can't even live up to the standards so many claim to be "proud" of. I personally think things are going to get worse for McCain from here on out. His running mate is going to embarrass herself next week in the VP debate, and Obama is only going to get stronger in the debates. McCain failed to deliver a knockout punch on his home turf, talking about foreign policy.
