Palin is a excellent strategic pick for McCain, its almost as if she is untouchable. This is not good for Obamma. This race is closer than many dems would like to admit. check out the Rassmussen electoral college polls. If you give each candidate all the states leaning their way, you’re left with NV, CO, and VA. In this scenario Obamma needs VA, without it he’s done for. McCain can win with CO and NV, or with just VA. Obama has to capture VA and one of the other 2 to win. The fact is that no democrat has won VA since 1964. There are a lot of issues that actually put VA in play for Obama; but a Dem wining VA would be like Brett Farve winning in Dallas, it could happen but unless you’re a die hard packer fan (or Jets fan this year) you wouldn’t make that bet on Farve’s best day.
