Is Georgia In Play For Obama?

If McCain picks Crist, he might as well hand the presidency to Obama. He's already going to win Florida and there is no other reason to put the guy on the ticket.

I think it's going to be Pawlenty or Romney and I don't think either is going to excite anyone.

 

Who? Outside of Louisiana, how well known is he. And I like how McCain folks would try to spin that: He's young!

Translation: If McCain dies, we've got a young guy to replace him!

 

I don't think Jindal does anything for McCain.

He needs someone who can guarantee him a swing state or someone with a strong national following.

I don't know if that guy exists. Pawlenty or Romney are probably the best he can do.

 

Please let him pick Romney. Pretty please, with sugar on top.

 

Putting Jindal on the ticket takes away from one of McCain's advantages.
I hate to be the one to say it, but a young, brown guy hurts him more than it helps.

 

Plus, even if I was a republican, I couldn't vote for a guy younger than me and had taken his name from a Brady Bunch character.
Piyush Jindal vs. Barack Hussein Obama — What a country we live in.

 

Not as long as this "Democrat" has any influence:

 

The absolute cave-in, to the GOP's monied toolshed.

Flipper and Mac are reportedly getting along much better, now. The planets may be aligning.

Let's ask the working middle class what Bain Capital has done for THEM.

 

I dispute that.

I never said "large cache," but my point was that it won't be ONLY blacks voting for Obama. There will be some whites, too.

Don't forget that "metro Atlanta" now extends all the way to the outskirts of Athens. Fayette also has a good-size minority population, so your "outside of's" are starting to add up.

Don't forget that the sprawl voters will be impacted by gas prices.

Don't forget about the Northern transplants. "Nobody's FROM Atlanta anymore" is a common refrain.

As for the mountain counties... Depends on if Bubba and Hil get out and campaign in Appalachia... I don't see those folks connecting with a McCain so much.

I'm simply asking if it's in play.

 

Just remember, due to the unprecedented voter turnout:

Republicans vote on Tuesday
Democrats vote on Wednesday

Don't forget!

 

If Georgia is so close due to Barr, I wonder if South Carolina and Mississippi might be in the same category.

High minority turnout + a split white vote.

 

Any time McCain spends in Georgia is time he won't be able to spend in the Midwest. And the Bob Barr thing could be critical. I'd love it if it came down to Georgia. I'm sick of Florida and Ohio.
