This is a great speech from a leader of the AFL-CIO. He has been making the rounds speaking to union members in places like PA and OH where the unions have been getting resistance from thier traditionally overwhelmingly Democrat members who don't want to vote for Obama.

Apparently he has been having some success with winning them over, or so it seems.

PA still has one of the highest percentage of unionized workers in the US.

why do you think that mccain can win the general election?

PA still has one of the highest percentage of unionized workers in the US.

And the highest rate of racists in the US as well. Mi nah go back deh again. Ever. Never. Ever. Nadda. Zip. Zilch.

I think its a long shot at this point for mcCain and he has run a poorly organized campaign so far to boot, but in a nutshell the reason I think he still has a shot is this:

I still believe a lot of people in places like PA,OH and even FL don't need much convincing to "change thier mind" about voting for him, or might already know that they are going to "change thier mind". Wether we want to call that the potential for a Bradley effect or something else is not as important.

So what I'm saying is that a Bin Laden tape could do that, or some kind of foriegn policy issue.

The problem he has is that even with winning those states, he is still fighting in so many others that it would really take a perfect storm or a major surprise for him to do it.

So in summary if nothing new comes up I expect Obama to win comfortably but not in a landslide. If something new breaks I expect a much closer race.

James Carville (Clintons campaign advisor) say that PA is basically Philly and Pittsburgh, with Alabama in the middle. That sounds about right to me.

is this similar to your "Obama will never win a southern state" during the primaries?

again, Mccain win a state with a million democratic advantage, it will take racism never before seen in the history of mankind. LOL!
