That's one way to win an election, mock the guys that keep your can flowing nicely.

Btw, another way to win an election is to lead by 10-12 points for three consecutive weeks and to be ahead in almost every meaningful poll.

Another way to win is to have McCain give up on more than half of the Battleground states, have Obama ahead in red states like Virginia, Missouri, North Dakota, New Mexico, North Carolina

Another way to win is to be raising nearly four times the money as McCain, or running four times the ads, in all 50 states.

Another way to win is to clean sweep and win all three debates (According to Gallup, CNN, MSNBC, etc.), four debates including the Vice Presidential debate (According to Gallup, CNN, MSNBC, etc.)

Another way to win is to get the endorsement of a GOP Member with over 70% approval rate within his own party (Colin Powell) or to have ex-Iranian Hostages endorse your approach to Iran, or to have the Iraqi Prime Minister endorse your approach to Iraq, or to have the support of foreign countries by a margin of 4-1.

Another way to win is to run an unprecedented grassroots organization which will make history by doing the biggest four day push in the history of elections come November 1st, that will and has already registered record breaking (as in, ever) numbers of voters.

Another way to win is with the endorsement of over 66% of economists, the endorsement of the overwhelming majority of Nobel Prize winners, the endorsement of the overwhelming majority of news papers.

Another way to win is to have run a brilliant campaign, have no smear stick to you, and effectively counter every attempt at a swift boat.

I would start counting the days, because the Republicans are taking a huge hit both in Seats and in the Presidency come Election Day.
The map is going to be blue, very blue.

The Obama tax plan, since this "spread the wealth" bit stemmed from some "Joe the plumber" (Who I might add is the nephew of Charles Keating, the same Keating of the 1990's economic lending scandal which involved McCain) would actually end up (according to many independent researches) providing Joe with a tax credit for providing health care to his employees. It would be easier for Joe to get his acquisition done and out of the way under an Obama tax plan, as opposed to a McCain tax plan.
Help now, yes.  Help once he actually has money?  Nope.

You mean once his business is successful and can makes profits to throw him into the top percentile in the nation?
Nope, that's when the goal of stimulating growth has been achieved.

This is not difficult.

As a comment in that very article so easily points out, Kerry won most of those swing states. The race was tighter in 2004.
Bush needed to win any two swing states for a victory, Kerry had a much tougher time.

Today in 2004, Kerry was ahead 271 to 257 in Electoral votes. By comparison, today Obama is ahead 364 to 171.
Do you see the difference? Do you see how different the landscape is today?

Kerry got swift boated, the GOP cannot get any smears to stick to Obama. He's too eloquent, too nimble, and the media is in the tank for him.
Obama has changed the electorate like no candidate has since Bill Clinton, he's put states into play no one would have thought possible.

The fact that a blue Virginia, blue New Mexico, blue Minnesota, blue North Dakota, blue North Carolina, blue Georgia are possible is quite simply amazing. The fact that Obama is running almost four times the ads as McCain is amazing.

In 2004 Kerry was ahead in battlegrounds, but tied in the electorate. In 2008 Obama is ahead in battlegrounds, ahead in electorate, ahead in national trend, and clean sweeped all three debates.

Sorry, but you're dead wrong here.
