"McCain hoping it'll all add up; Mathematical upset possible" by Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | November 4, 2008
WASHINGTON - President John McCain: It could happen.
True, the math looks pretty daunting for the Arizona senator as voters head to the polls today. On paper, it seems improbable, with Democrat Barack Obama leading in every major national poll, as well as in numerous battleground states expected to determine the winner.
But impossible? There have been greater comebacks. The Red Sox recovered from a three-game deficit in 2004 to win four games straight against the Yankees, as Sox star pitcher Curt Schilling, a McCain supporter, noted in Peterborough, N.H., on Sunday as he stumped with the GOP nominee.
Sigh. Screw the SPORTS ANALOGIES, will ya?
And while Obama has run a relatively error-free campaign, political specialists say, "almost perfect" doesn't guarantee the big prize.
"The Patriots lost the Super Bowl," noted Frank Donatelli, deputy director of the Republican National Committee, referring to the team's loss to the New York Giants in February after a perfect regular season. As for the polls, alternately revered and dreaded by the campaigns, Donatelli is skeptical.
Enough with the GOD-DAMNED SPORTS ANALOGIES!!!!
"Everywhere I've gone, there is just tremendous enthusiasm" for McCain, Donatelli said yesterday in between visits to Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Ohio. "These polls that show a huge disparity between Republican and Democratic [turnout] are just not going to pan out," he said.
You GETTING the PICTURE, America?
Analysts have handicapped the race for Obama, predicting he will win all of the states Democrat John Kerry took in 2004, plus a combination of victories in Iowa, New Mexico, Colorado - and possibly Virginia and Nevada - that would put Obama over the 270 electoral majority mark. Obama is also competitive in Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio, and even once reliably-GOP states like Montana and Georgia are in play. The battle for Missouri is a dead heat.
And yet NONE of that will matter, right?
Still, the races in the battleground states are close, with Obama's numerical edge well within the margin of error. Further, McCain has edged up in a couple of polls in North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania, giving Republicans hope for a major upset. "Nothing's over until it's over. While polls in a lot of these key swing states show Obama with slim-to-modest leads, there is always the possibility of late movement in public opinion," said Michael Dimmock, associate director of the Pew Research Center.
You sensing a REPETITIVE DRUMBEAT of a NARRATIVE, folks?!
McCain would almost certainly have to win Pennsylvania and its 21 electoral votes to beat Obama, they said. "There's a mathematical way to do it, but it's an inside straight at best," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, said in assessing McCain's challenge.
He'll pull it!!
It's possible to come up with arithmetic that would leave the Electoral College vote tied at 269 to 269. In that case, the decision would go to Congress, with the House choosing the president (each state's delegation would get one vote) and the Senate choosing the vice president.
The votes would be taken in the next Congress, and since Democrats are expected to expand majorities in both chambers, Obama and Senator Joe Biden would probably be sent to the White House, said Judith Best, a political science professor at the State University of New York College at Cortland. But the likelihood of that happening is extremely small, she said.
Are the sports comeback scenarios warming the hopes of McCain supporters? "We remember those games because quite likely, it will never happen again," said Andrew Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. --more--"Excuse me, I have to go throw up, readers.
Here is the clincher, folks!
"McCain, Obama suggest changes in sports world
Reaching out to football fans last night on election eve, Barack Obama and John McCain were given the chance to declare the one thing they would change if they were the czar of all sports.
Obama said he wants college football to pick a champion with a playoff system, while McCain said he wants to root out performance-boosting drugs.
The taped interviews aired at halftime of ESPN's "Monday Night Football" game between the Washington Redskins and the Pittsburgh Steelers (AP)."
That DOES IT!! I am SICK of mixing SPORTS and POLITICS!!!
So WHY do they DO IT -- unless there is SOME SORT of BRAINWASHING and EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION go on, 'eh, MSM (oh, yeah, and the $$$)?

So that's why you never see the enviro-fascistas at NASCAR -- or why it is not reported?
Anyhow, adjust your map accordingly, readers.
How you going to feel, America?
I know how I think it should, and what I fear will happen.
