    1. SENATOR JOHN McCAIN HAS ALREADY WON THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION OF HIS PARTY (i.e., REPUBLICAN PARTY).

    2. As to the chances that Senator John McCain will be elected President, the odds on Senator Barack Obama to win the November election are now (November 1, 2008, 9:20 AM PDT) between -800 and -900, and John McCain is an underdog with odds between +400 and +700. If you don't know how odds work, here is a quick example: The odds on McCain at +400 mean that now people stand to win $400 for every $100 they risk, or the odds on McCain are now 2 to 3 times worse than a month ago, despite the shrinking of Senator Barack Obama's lead, according to the major polls.

    I believe that the Senator McCain's chances of winning the Presidency are a bit closer: Perhaps +250, with Senator Obama's odds at -200. This reflects a closer election, but one with Senator Obama still a strong favorite to win the necessary electoral votes for election.

    I do not believe that Senator McCain has succeeded in attracting enough of either the "independent," swing voters and/or the "middle class," female voters in Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania or Missouri. I also believe that Senator Obama has succeeded in overcoming the "experience" factor. Further, I believe that Senator Obama's organization "on the ground" is much larger and better funded, assuring a strong voter turnout which favors the Democrats. Additionally, I do not believe that Senator McCain can overcome the perception that the slow to dire economy is a Bush-Republican recession.

    Truman won over Dewey in an election that became famous for the headline of the Chicago Tribune which proclaimed Dewey the winner.

    The current polls have Obama winning 333 of the needed 270 electoral college votes, with McCain at 178.

    McCain's popularity is at 43% and Obama's at 50%, but 7% of the voters could be persuaded at the last minute one way or the other.

    It ain't over 'til the last chad is counted.

    in accordance to 3 Obama supporters, yeah they are going to be too busy working their race conflict to vote for Senator Clinton in November. And , particular, that would desire to wreck Hillary and fully blow the Dems' opportunities on the White abode. No, white united statesa. is in basic terms too ill and uninterested interior the race card constantly being performed whilst Blacks do no longer their way. And, certainly, human beings like Pastor Wright and the Black Panthers completely turn off white those with their rhetoric and hatred.
