You mean "a" or a couple or a few more RED states?


Just one would have been good (ie North Carolina, Virginia, etc). But Ohio makes up for it.

If that's indeed true...it's virtually over. Keep an eye on NM and Iowa to make sure that we do flip them - which should be easy. But, other than that...it's a done deal.

That is unbelievably gratifying. If Obama can also win Florida, it's all over for McSame.

NM called for Obama. The man is our next President.
