Hofstra University : Last Debate
Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York is the place where on wednesday night the last of the three presidential debates will be held. It's the location where John McCain promises to kick Obama's butt! And he does need to do that. Despite the DrudgeReport totally unscientific polling which has shown McCain winning the first two debates by 70-30% margins, the truth is that Obama has nudged out McCain in both (according to scientific polling).
McCain does need a TKO!
McCain has lost ground after each presidential debate. and the latest Rasmussen and Zogby polls are showing that Obama is gaining ground most importantly in the battleground states and even in a couple of RED states. Can you say Virginia, where Obama now has a 50-57% lead. Who would heve ever thought. Will it hold up? We'll know soon enough.
Here's the latest on key battleground states (all have Obama leading).
>Ohio 49-47%
>Missouri 50-47%
>Florida 51-46%
>Minnesota 51-40%
>Wisconsin 54-37%
>Pennsylvania 53-40%
There's a reason that McCain pulled out of Michigan as Obama holds a 16% lead (54-38%). Only two battleground states are not in Obama's camp at this time (North Carolina 38-38% and Indiana which is 48-45% for McCain). John McCain's chief strategist Steve Schmidt said Monday that the campaign is "well within striking distance" of Barack Obama.
"We are running in a very difficult political environment, that's not a secret to anybody that's out there," Schmidt said during an interview on National Public Radio. "I believe in this race we are approximately six points behind. There's a lot of the media right now that is writing Senator McCain off for the third or fourth time this year. That means we have 'em just where we want 'em in this race."
But McCain still needs that October surprise and he needs it soon! October is halfway over.
And in the irony of minutia, after investing $3.5m in construction and planning, Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York found out there was something missing from its preparations for this week's third and final presidential debate. Water glasses. "We actually had to give the campaigns the exact water glass the candidates will be using during the debate," said Hofstra president Stuart Rabinowitz.
Whatever!
