    Colbert is awesome.

    Mississippi will go for McCain no matter who the Dem nominee is. Not even Obamamania can tip that balance.

    I think swing states are the best indicator for who has the best shot at winning the presidency, and I do believe Obama is ahead there 45 to 78. Even if Clinton wins Pennsylvania and Florida, Obama could win Michigan and come out ahead by a nose.

    Forgot Oregon as a swing state.

    On a side note, Romney might be McCain’s VP choice. … Really? I don’t see the upside here, outside of the money.

    By the same token, I’m pretty confident that Obama can pull off wins in California and New York.

    Knock on wood. The Spitzer debacle puts NY in play.

    Uh, no. New York is not in play.

    No? Not even a little bit? With a black Lt. Gov. (unprecedented) taking the helm?
    Can we haz play?

    Dear Spain.

    Please take Florida back. We can not use it at this time. We’re sorry.

    Love,
    America.

    Nope. Not even a little. It could be close enough that the Republicans decide to spend money there. Please let it be close enough that the Republicans spend money there. Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please!
