The most important thing is to totally turn out a ginormous amout of voters for Barack. THAT might be the one sure way to win over Rovian tactics. I say this because they say in the 2006 election more democrats in the House & Senate actually won than did win, b/c election fraud took some of their wins away. So the enormous turnout last time in 06 was able to overrun a fair amount of voter repression/dirty tricks etc by the Neo-con/Republicans. There's a whole bunch of groups currently trying to help voters see if they have been illegally taken off the rolls already. |

Well, I'm not so sure. Take a look at Gallups results the past 4 days including today: 10/09/2008 - Obama by 11 points. 10/10/2008 - Obama by 10 points. 10/11/2008 - Obama by 9 points. 10/12/2008 - Obama by 7 points. |

In fact, a gallup poll recently in the summer showed that among all people, John McCain led with people who had just a 4 year college degree. Obama led with those who did NOT have a 4 year college degree as well as those with graduate degrees. If the race was to be decided by individuals who make over $100,000 dollars a year, McCain would win. McCain also leads among male voters and white voters. |

This could possibly mean that if McCain does well in the next debate, he could get back to within 3 or 4 points of Obama making it a race again.

STING, there's only so much you can say with statistics. Sometimes, instead of statistics, you just analyze things. And I mean "you" in the general.

George Bush may have gone to Yale and Harvard, but the public image he tries to project is the exact opposite. His supporters laud him as the guy you wanted to go have a beer with. It's pretty clear his campaigns weren't exactly targeting intellectual voters. Meanwhile, Gore and Kerry and their supporters were slammed for being out-of-touch elitists.

I don't think the point is that you can't be a Republican and an intellectual at the same time. I think it's that the Republican Party isn't exactly going out of its way to court intellectual Republicans. Instead, the party is going after the so-called "Joe Six-Pack" voters.

To be fair, Democratic campaigns have done it too to a lesser degree. Hilary's certainly did to a point. I just don't think Obama's has done it much yet. |

Well, thats not a very informed or intelectual statement at all. It suggest that you have not read very much about John McCain's life, and no I'm not talking about the 5 years he spent as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.
But below is the statement I objected to. Quote:

McCain finished in the top 98% of his college class. I suppose that makes him intellectual.
