prepped Palin, defended her against liberal attacks etc.
Seriously. By doing what? Injecting 30 IQ points into her brain?
I don't think turning her in Michelle Bachmann would have helped much.
That would've involved directly injecting 30 IQ points and 10 pounds of raw crazy.
Raw crazy is quite pricey, I doubt the McCain campaign could have afforded it on public financing.
I went through the Wikipedia page for State-wide opinion polling, which may or may not be up to date but here is the picture with
Obama v. Romney...
Based on the latest polls on there (which may not really be the latest)...
Obama: 246
Romney: 135
Toss Up - 20
Gray (No poll listed) - 137
Now lets add in the states which no one is going to dispute
Romney gets Idaho, North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Indiana, Alaska Kentucky, Louisana, Arkansas...
Obama gets Delaware, DC, Illinois, New York, Connecticut...
Turned off the popular vote feature, but if we add these in...
Obama: 318
Romney: 200
Toss Up: 20
Of course, the race can and will tighten up, and many polls (Florida) are clearly within the margin of error. I still think his chances look pretty good. Plus once Obama wins, everyone will say he was unbeatable and if he loses everyone is going to say that anyone could have taken him out.
