Comments on: Is Southwestern Ohio Still McCain Country? http://www.wikistan.com/2008/09/28/is-southwestern-ohio-still-mccain-country/ Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Vinman http://www.wikistan.com/2008/09/28/is-southwestern-ohio-still-mccain-country/comment-page-1/#comment-33492 Vinman Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:06:43 +0000 http://www.wikistan.com/?p=1200#comment-33492 which is exactly what happened with Obama during the Obama-McCain debate. Everbody expected McCain to trounce Obama during the foreign policy part. It wasn't an absolute thrashing, but (i feel) he still bettered Obama. But nevertheless--whammo!--an Obama victory! which is exactly what happened with Obama during the Obama-McCain debate. Everbody expected McCain to trounce Obama during the foreign policy part.

Agreed, regardless of what she says there's probably a fairly large contingent of folks who will vote for her b/c she's like someone they know.

I think Palin may have disappointed some potential voters in the last week with a lackluster and conflicted response to some foreign policy questions, but I think her presence on the ticket still activates more potential voters than anybody has been able to count. I'm anxious for the debate Thursday night--it's possible more people will tune into that debate than last Friday's debate. my take is that Ohio will again have the most narrow of margins, like 2004, and likely let McCain squeak by.
