MY HOPES...

...are that a combination of the following:

*Huge African-American turnout
*Equally surprising young voter turnout
*The economy
*The Bush administration
*McCain's age and lousy campaign.
*Palin's sheer lack of readiness to be POTUS

will result in Obama getting 396 electoral votes.

Meaning he wins all of Kerry states, plus Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, Montana, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico.

I'd love to see WV or another state go blue just to see Obama get 400.

That's my hope.
