the votes are there to make it close. despite what some of you may think, a good part of the latino voters are favorable to McCain partly because of his stance on illegal immigration. these latinos came out in big numbers for Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, and again came out in big numbers for Hillary Clinton this year. many of these latino voters are not satisified with Obama and because of the illegal immigration, could very well vote for McCain. McCain is also somewhat popular with some actors and actresses in Hollywood, atleast compared to Bush, which sometiimes plays a big part of the California vote.
California can and is in play. But, many of you do not agree.
You're right when you say I don't agree. Hollywood is Obama paradise. These people want to get on their knees for him. Rudy Giuliani had the Republican Hollywood vote, not McCain. He might be seen as better than Bush as most of them may see him as a moderate. He could do about as well as Bush did in 2004, but I doubt he does any better. No way will it be close, meaning within 5%, unless Obama implodes and McCain wins in a landslide.
Yes. McCain will win California and Obama will win Kansas.
Remember all the hurt and outrage from the right when somebody said that Obama might win Kansas? I wonder if we'll hear the same when somebody mentions that McCain might win California.
McCain winning California is a stretch, but California was once a GOP stronghold and hasn't been 60%+ for the Democrats yet. You also won't find any of us defending him, as some did with the Kansas prediction. This doesn't compare to North Dakota, Montana, North Carolina, Indiana, Georgia, etc ..
