What will be the 2008 election shocker?

[Josh/Devilman88]

What do you for see or think could be the Election shocker in 2008. You know how the polls where showing Bush Winning WI but he lost ect.. Some on that lines.

[Joe Republic]

The shocker will be that for every one vote for the brown candidate, there will be two votes for the pink candidate.

[Flying Dog]

Obama steals Alaska.

[AltWorlder]

The shocker will be that for every one vote for the brown candidate, there will be two votes for the pink candidate.

You mean people will vote for VP John Edwards over Bobby Jindal, causing Obama to win?

[7,052,770]

I won't say, but you all know what I dream of it being.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I won't say, but you all know what I dream of it being.

And it has no chance of happening.

[Stranger in a strange land]

If it's a McCain blowout (Working class whites won't vote for a black man and he gets clobbered worse than Kerry in rural America), McCain wins New Jersey and Oregon, and comes within 7 points in CA, while getting over 70% in West Virginia.

In a 50/50 race, that Texas is closer than California.

In an Obama blowout (black and youth turnout are massively up, white evangelicals stay home, and Barr does well), Obama wins Georgia, Alaska, and Montana.

[7,052,770]

I won't say, but you all know what I dream of it being.

And it has no chance of happening.

There's a better chance of it than Obama winning Georgia.

[Josh/Devilman88]

I think the most shocking thing will be Barr getting 8% national, and he gets at least 2% in every state. Causing it to be a 48-43-8-1 race.

[Brittain33]

Texas goes Democratic.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I won't say, but you all know what I dream of it being.

And it has no chance of happening.

There's a better chance of it than Obama winning Georgia.

Well, there's no chance in hell of either one happening.

[The Mikado]

Now, now, people...if it's a shocker, we won't know what it is until election day, now, will we?

I mean, who predicted Carol Shea-Porter or Nancy Boyda would be elected to Congress in 2006?  Not me.  That's my interpretation of a shocker.

[Flying Dog]

Jim Gilmore wins

[MODU]

Ross Perot returns in October, shaking his fist at everyone saying "I told you so," this starting his write-in campaign.

[The Mikado]

OK, how's this...Mary Landrieu wins by a margin of <2%, continuing her track record of winning by the skin of her teeth.

[7,052,770]

OK, how's this...Mary Landrieu wins by a margin of <2%, continuing her track record of winning by the skin of her teeth.

That wouldn't be shocking at all.

[Ronnie]

Either Obama takes North Carolina or McCain takes Wisconsin.

[Lief 🗽]

Alaska is called in the early morning for Barack Obama.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'm going to say Obama wins Virginia

[Hash]

This thread is quite funny. (see comments on VA, AK)

[DownWithTheLeft]

I think Dick Zimmer or Pennachio sadly could upset Lautenberg, a lot of Dems are unhappy with him and I expect McCain to do well in NJ.  If Andrews wins the primary, forget it

[Sbane]

Obama losing PA and still winning the election would be a shocker. He would have to be winning a bunch of states in the west and possibly VA to make up for it.  Actually this is a very plausible situation but that swing in VA would be shocking.

[Mr. Morden]

I won't say, but you all know what I dream of it being.

Meghan McCain - Michelle Obama mudwrestling?

[Lincoln Republican]

McCain very narrowly takes Wisconsin and Oregon, giving him his margin of victory.

[HardRCafé]

A delightful dream, but I cannot see McCain doing better than Bush in Oregon.
