Comments on: GOP Senate Campaign Committee Pulls Out Of New Mexico http://www.oliverwillis.com/2008/09/05/gop-senate-campaign-committee-pulls-out-of-new-mexico/ Like Kryptonite To Stupid Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:30:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: plooger http://www.oliverwillis.com/2008/09/05/gop-senate-campaign-committee-pulls-out-of-new-mexico/#comment-113552 plooger Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:08:26 +0000 http://www.oliverwillis.com/?p=8987#comment-113552 Good sidenote, Oliver. I was just commenting the other day that we sure haven't heard much from the media about "Obama's Latino problem" -- which lead me to believe, accurately, that he's getting a good percentage of the demographic. They'll try to drum-up controversies related to Democrats, but ignore them in the case of Republicans. e.g. If Obama is now doing well with Latinos, doesn't McCain, by necessity, have a problem? If the small % of Democrats who identify themselves as PUMAs are a significant problem for Obama, then what exactly are Ron Paul and Bob Barr for McCain? (How 'bout that coverage of the Ron Paul shadow convention during the RNC, eh?) Good sidenote, Oliver.

On a side note, Ras. has Obama up a point form yesterday. It might be statistical noise, but it could be a sign that McCain's convention bounce is already over. If that is the case, it is bad news for the GOP. “It’s not guaranteed, but it is becoming more likely.”

I also think reverse coattails will help the Democrats in Virginia and that's 18 EC votes. Throw in Iowa, and all of Kerry's states, ans the Democrats win.
