I don't know as if Obama will win the election. I have a feeling that we're being played, again, by the press/media to hype up their candidate of choice. They've done this before and it didn't work then either. Both Gore and Kerry were hyped up by the press to make it seem like both of them would beat Bush and it didn't happen. I tend to think that too many people in both of the last two previous elections voted for the lesser of two evils and Bush won. I think that McCain might just win over Obama because at the last minute people will see through Obama for the empty suit that he is. Obama will carry Chicago but I know, for a fact, that he will NEVER carry downstate Illinois. So for all intents and purposes, Obama might not even carry his own home state of Illinois if things go awry for him. At best, right now it is 50-50 for him taking Illinois at election time.
