Thanks for asking. On the column to the right of the postings, you will see a category called META. Select “Entries RSS.” I believe that this will provide you with several options on where to receive information on new postings.

What I see is a distinct difference in enthusiasm. When McCain speaks, 200 senior citizens come to see him. When Obama speaks, he fills football stadiums. I believe this effect will be seen on voting day, when Democrats turn out and Republicans will too, but only if the weather is nice and their sciatica isn’t acting up.

It’s all the electoral college, man.

McCain’s got in the bag. You may not like it, but it’s true.

It’s funny to watch though.

Unfortunately, despite yours and mine enthusiasm for Obama, it’s not translating to the American public. Obama should be pulling away from McCain at this point in order to ‘close the deal’. He’s not. I understand what your point is that the media is over-hyping, however on the flip side, they are illustrating the FACT that Obama hasn’t capitalized off his supposed popularity.

I’m a cynic and I have witnessed too much Republican shenanigans, voting public stupidity, and media hype to believe that Obama will win this election.

This is how it shakes out in terms of Electoral College:
McCain: 281 (winner)
Obama: 257

Obama wins CO, MO, MI, PA but won’t/can’t win Florida. McCain eeks out Minnesota with Pawlenty on the ticket.

Ergo, McCain wins the presidency.
