OBAMA CAN WIN POPULAR VOTE BUT LOSE ELECTION!

Can Obama win popular vote but lose election?
LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer – Mon Nov 3, 4:11 pm ET
WASHINGTON – It's a nightmare scenario for Democrats — their nominee Barack Obama winning the popular vote while Republican John McCain ekes out an Electoral College victory. Sure, McCain trails in every recent national poll. Sure, surveys show that Obama leads in the race to reach the requisite 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
But some last-minute state polls show the GOP nominee closing the gap in key states — Republican turf of Virginia, Florida and Ohio among them, and Democratic-leaning Pennsylvania, too.
If the tightening polls are correct and undecided voters in those states break McCain's way — both big ifs — that could make for a repeat of the 2000 heartbreaker for Democrats that gave Republicans the White House.

MCCAIN CAN STILL DO IT --- DON'T LET OBAMA & ACORN "STEAL" THIS ELECTION!
