<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A lot depends who McCain picks for his VP ticket. With Colin Powell (remote chances) all bets are off.

Colin powell is not even going to vote for McCain, let alone be his VP. I wouldn't be surprised if Powell endorses Obama once he is nominated.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->HC was 50% while BO 33% and Edwards 14%
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That is what I said, she barely crossed 50% and in MI, lot of obama supporters would have stayed home. Look at the primary vote totals in MI and FL and you can see that democratic turnout was below republican turnout which was hardly the case in any of the other states where both republicans and democrats were running before McCain became the nominee.

Most of the time polls in US are very accurate, look at all the polls before the primaries and the results. Only one that went wrong was NH.
Actually your own informal polling that you had posted on NC turned out to be completely inaccurate. But that doesn't mean rest of the polls are all wrong
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Because Caucaus states had higher percentage of allocation. This system was very well designed by Jesse Jackson. It will really work for Jesse Jackson's son.
OR is far-left, liberal state.
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This is a silly argument. HC had the time and resources to change these rules if needed. She has more supporters in the rules committee than Obama. Terry McAuliffe was involved in disqualifying MI.
Caucus states don't have higher % of allocation, allocation is mostly based on congressional seats in a state, whether they do caucus or not. Many states had open caucuses while states like PA, KY and WV had closed primaries.
I don't think Obama's resume is any thinner than Hillary and having spent the lifetime in washington is not necessarily the qualification to become president. Then we should elect Sen.Robert Byrd from WV as the president since he is the longest serving senator.
On the contrary, Abraham Lincoln had TWO years of experience in US congress (as a congressman from Illinois) before he ran for president.
And talking about McCain's "experience" at Hanoi Hilton, no one is going to lock up US president in the WH. <!--emo&
