Obama could win vote, lose election



Until 2000, it hadn’t happened in more than 100 years, but plugged-in observers from both parties see a distinct possibility of Barack Obama winning the popular vote but losing the Electoral College — and with it the presidency — to John McCain.

Here’s the scenario: Obama racks up huge margins among the increasingly affluent, highly educated and liberal coastal states, while a significant increase in turnout among black voters allows him to compete — but not to win — in the South. Meanwhile, McCain wins solidly Republican states such as Texas and Georgia by significantly smaller margins than Bush’s in 2004 and ekes out narrow victories in places such as North Carolina, which Bush won by 12 points but Rasmussen presently shows as a tossup, and Indiana, which Bush won by 21 points but McCain presently leads by just 11.

One possible result: Even as the national mood moves left, the 2004 map largely holds. Obama’s 32 new electoral votes from Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and Virginia are offset by 21 new electoral votes for McCain in Michigan and New Hampshire — and despite a 2- or 3-point popular vote victory for Obama, America wakes up on Jan. 20 to a President McCain.

It could happen, and I believe it will. The big East and West coast liberal mecas will go for Obama, while the south and mid west will go McCain

The Electoral map will look much like it did in 2000

That's what I'm thinking too. And then they will really push to change this country into a democracy instead of a republic. They don't want this current government, they want a parliament.

If Obama does lose like Al Gore did in 2000 - libs will go over the edge. They will then puich in Congress to change the US Constitution so only the top 14 or 15 states (run by Dems) Will decide who is President

The remaining 35 or so states can go to hell for all they care

Lets hope so. Conservatism and self-responsibility are a dying concept in this country. The masses of morons in this country buy into Obama and his socialist ideaology. They like the idea of a small minority paying the way for the mass majority.
