Too late now. They said they vetted her and that she was McCain's soul mate. They're stuck with her now

Minnesota and Iowa area basically out of play now. Double digit leads you don't come back from. That means Barack can direct resources to other closer battleground states.

All of these polls are encouraging. I guess I'm just focused on the electoral vote aspect of the election. Assuming Obama can keep every state that voted Democratic in 2004, he'll have to get at least 18 more that voted Republican. Minnesota was Democratic in 2004 anyway so that won't be a gain. Ohio alone would do the trick...so Obama definitely needs to campaign hard there. Iowa would be a gain of 7, but he'd still need more if he couldn't pull off Ohio.

Democrats didn't carry New Mexico or Colorado or Nevada in the 2004 election. Barack is almost CERTAINLY going to win New Mexico and he's doing well in Colorado and Nevada. He is also leading in Iowa - Democrats didn't carry that in 2004 either.
With things as they are now Barack could lose Ohio AND Florida and STILL win.

There are two, possibly three southern states Obama can take....
Georgia - with all of "us" in the Atlanta and metro Atlanta areas, not to mention Macon, Savannah and Augusta, and with Bob Barr's "bid," he could take some of the McCain folks and split those votes.
Virginia - With Gov. Kaine being a democrat, and also rumored to have been on the short list for VP, I think there can be some major influence there. Besides, Virginians are far more progessive minded than their coal mine mountain neighbors to the "west" of them.
North Carolina - While McFossil is currently leading there, I see the same possibilities there as I do in Virginia...a progressive minded populus (The Research Triangle,) and all those college students at NC A&T, NC State, N Carolina, Wake Forest, Duke, NC Central, Fayetteville State, etc. He could pull a coup there with the young vote alone.
If he can get ONE southern state, that might very well spell the end for McCain and his "girl Friday" or was it Thursday?

He will be fine
Palin doesn't offer any more elusive a target than any other candidate. He can murk her on the issues and her LACK of international and global knowledge. When she resorts to John McCain's talking points..
...then he tags her as more of the same
The end

Damie is on point again folks!
Obama is too smart to fall for the trailer park tactics. His folks will handle it. Matter of fact, the women in his camp will take care of this beauty pageant has been...watch.

The women surrogates in his camp (and previous Hillary supporters) already ARE rebutting Palin's mud slinging as more of the same Republican tactics of trench warfare.
Instead of introducing her as a likable candidate - they positioned her as attack dog (which is the traditional role) and made any and all counter attacks fair game. She's got plenty of baggage and the Democrats will be unloading on her for it.
