Alabamians favor John McCain, but don't see him winning

Verrrry interrresting.
Oh well, we're known for pursuing lost causes.
;-)

No surprise here: A recent poll found John McCain comfortably ahead of Barack Obama in the battle for Alabama's 9 electoral votes, 47% to 34%. Any hint of a closer race would be a shock in a state that President Bush carried with almost 63% of the vote four years ago.

What was surprising were the results for a second question posed by the Capital Survey Research Center.

When the pollsters asked 571 Alabamians whom they expected to win the White House race nationwide, 44% picked Obama, 33% McCain, with 23% undecided (the survey's margin of error was plus or minus 4.1 percentage points).

Obama and his campaign periodically have been zinged by some observers -- and a lot of critics -- for acting as if a November victory was a foregone conclusion. Just recently, late-night talk show host David Letterman rolled out "Top Ten Signs Barack Obama is Overconfident," a list that included "Asked guy at Staples, 'Which chair will work best in an oval-shaped office?' " and "Having head measured for Mt. Rushmore."

Still, when even a plurality of Alabamians envisions an Obama administration, it must be tough for him not to feel good about his chances.

Juat like the fact that is IS more popular than McCain, the fact that he really can win in the light of McCain's incompetnent campaign must be attacked also. What Letterman is really saying is that an Obama win really IS a foregone conclusion.

butts, we have a small chance here. Its so discouraging that we are so backward that so many vote against their own self interest. We voted in a black mayor here last time in Mobile, so, there is hope.
