Obama's is definitely a stick with your gameplan kind of campaign. They are confident in it, but more and more party leaders aren't -- at least not behind the scenes.

Both campaigns will be spinning the increase in gas prices (in Georgia we went up $1.00 overnight). Those whom I have talked about blame big oil and the government. On the whole, this should be a minus for McCain, but the drill-baby-drill mantra apparently gives him a plus when prices go up.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379192575044761972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-78098772962103499082008-09-13T08:27:00.000-04:002008-09-13T08:27:00.000-04:00I don't think he should sit on the lead. To use yo...I don't think he should sit on the lead. To use your analogy, the question is, when your opponent ties the game by throwing a couple of long bombs, do you respond by abandoning the running game? The Obama campaign likes to stick with its game plan. That plan does have a few razzle-dazzle plays and long passes mixed in, but it's a balanced attack.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690577323454357276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-17789236413178462142008-09-13T05:40:00.000-04:002008-09-13T05:40:00.000-04:00Josh,In the last post you ask if Obama should sit ...Josh,<BR/><BR/>In the last post you ask if Obama should sit on his lead. Scott is trying to calm me down, but I don't think Obama can sit on it. The consensus at yesterday's meeting was that Palin was like a flare, burning bright but she will begin to fizzle and make a major error. I am not so sure. Paul pointed out that she only needs to keep burning bright for 51 more days. Sitting on such a narrow lead (although no longer a lead at fivethirtyeight) would be like sitting on a 3-point lead in the third quarter against the Jets. There is not enough margin for error.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379192575044761972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-28831573913730987292008-09-13T00:34:00.000-04:002008-09-13T00:34:00.000-04:00I think by election time Nevada will vote for Obam...I think by election time Nevada will vote for Obama.<BR/>Other than that I think this will be the result.<BR/>The most closest states in my opinion are Nevada, Colorado, and Ohio.<BR/>Those 3 can go any way.<BR/><BR/>By the way I'm a life long Republican but I'm voting for Constitution Party Chuck Baldwin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
