Obama will win or lose by a small EV margin or win by a large EV margin

Anyone else sick of this 'blue firewall' nonsense?

Yes, but I'll admit that if we're going to win those states, we have to shift the focus from social issues to fiscal responsibility and move away from the Bush years. Think Bob McDonnell 2009 campaign.

Regrettably, Bob McDonnell bungled badly with his "Confederate Heritage Month" in a state with a large African-American population... and an anti-gay agenda. 

I don't agree with everything that was said during his campaign. My point was that the campaign was steller...pushed the right buttons at the right time and was strong enough to recapture all of NoVA. Republicans should look to that as a model for future campaigns.
