I think she is an auditor and they said she does great things following the money… knows how to ask the right followup questions when Congress has called someone in for questioning or on her Iraq trip her auditor side was brilliant.

Now, what is the story on her on FISA was it? Her conservatism came out recently and I was disappointed… but now I am blanking. Sorry.

She’s an SC vote. If SC’s in play, McCain is already toast.

And Indiana is in play.

I think. Am I awake or dreaming? Indiana is in play? (a sentence never uttered in my presence in my lifetime)…

I think there are a lot of places ‘in play’ which haven’t been before. That doesn’t mean we’re a lock to get all the usual places though.

This election could be quite different from what we’ve seen the last couple of times.

Let’s say Obama doesn’t gain a huge advantage: where does McCain get a big edge, probably Ohio & Pennsylvania to go with Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. Where would Obama be getting his advantages? Probably in the West and clearly from Wisconsin to Massachussetts. Arizona is going to be a huge Western state since that’s McCain’s home state. Can Obama take it? Will Barr’s influence in the west be a net gain for Obama?

Let’s say Obama does get a big edge: how? He’ll have to hold Ohio & Pennsylvania and really cost McCain in Virginia if not win it. In case he’s winning on money as well as states, then we can push harder in other less likely states like Texas, Alabama, Indiana, Kansas and some others.

America isn’t the same as 4 or 8 years ago (Bush has made certain of that) and Obama isn’t quite like Kerry or Gore or Clinton (Bill). It could be quite confusing to campaign strategists and whomever is quick of mind and foot will do better.

A new direction vs. a Conservative Bush Republican!

It’s really stressful for her. She has to stay all day to get her blood sugar monitored cuz she’s diabetic. And get her blood pressure monitored cuz she’s hypertensive. The bad part is she’s blind due to the hypertension and is easily frightened because she’s in a now unfamiliar place being handled by strangers. I don’t know who it stresses out more, her or me.
