Rassmussen Electoral College Tally: McCain-189 Obama-193
Tweet
Let’s have an “Electoral College Discussion”…
If you include what they call “leaners” its McCain-247, Obama-259.There are 270 electoral votes needed to win the Presidency. I personally have never truly, truly, deeply, deeply, scrutinized, taken apart, pared down, dissected, examined, analyzed, studied, evaluated, appraised, or put too much thought into how the hell somebody came up with the Electoral College idea, or how it works.
Maybe one of you, Oh Dollard Readers, may be able to explain to me, and many like myself who, can’t quite figure out why we don’t all just toss our votes into a hat and count them.
You know, I think they call that “Popular Vote”…
Why did they think that the Electoral College system was better and more representative of the people than the Popular Vote?
Anyway, still looks too close to call at this point, and at the rate of fluctuation in the polls, who knows what’ll happen on Election Day. I mean, even 55 days out could be peaking too soon.
One thing’s for sure, as long as McCain sticks Sarah Palin out there and stands next to her while she speaks, then gives his speech, we’ll probably be alright because it’ll keep the Obama camp on “Befuddled Defensive” mode.
And it’ll draw the crowds out to the speeches, the debates, and then…the polls.
Obama just doesn’t know how to deal with this thing.
One guy said the Sarah Palin pick was a gamble of John McCain’s along the lines of downing a couple of double shots and then flying his jet fighter under the Golden Gate Bridge.
Risky, but if pulled off, most spectacular and competitive.
Rassmussen has a whole write-up on it.
