The old clandestine, racist, wink wink strategy cleverly

the radar of all but the most astute observers. (Most of
whom have eyeholes cut in their sheets.) Urban non-whites,
the euphemism is a dead give away.

Wow, you're really going for it, trying to fill those file cabinets...

Um, euphemism, Gracie...? Lessee here...for example, Wayne County, Michigan is
about 10% white, 90% _non-white_ (including blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc.),
and I'd hardly it "rural" or "non-urban"...and if I'm a racist merely for using
the term "urban non-whites," so is David Axelrod and Obama hisownself, along
with about everyone who deals with polls and the data, censuses and the data,
etc., etc.

Yeah, euphemisms. The more euphemisms the lamer the argument.
"Enhanced Interrogation Techniques", there's a good example
of a euphemism employed to obfuscate a rather simple concept.

When the copyright expires on that expensive data analysis of
the polls you be sure to let me know. Until then I'll consider
Obama's victory an electoral landslide.

Ah yes, Lindsey Graham, the Republican John Edwards aka HairDo 2.
A total lightweight.

Yeah, you obviously know a lot about him...you probably think he's big friends
with John McClain and Ron Amanual, too...

The actual analysis will likely remain private for a long while, but the
underlying data is there for anyone who wishes to look it up, provided they have
the objectivity and intelligence to rea...ah...yeah, I see your problem...

Until then I'll consider
Obama's victory an electoral landslide.

Aw, now, come on - you sell yourself short - I have no doubt that you'll still
consider all sorts of partisan crap and other incorrect stuff to be true
regardless of the information provided to you...

Well, there's the thing. You post crazy conspiracy theories
about some sort of top secret, wink wink strategy supposedly
employed by the Obama campaign and the only information you
provide to substantiate this fairy tale is "the analysis is
private".

is so blindly partisan he makes Tom Delay look like a moderate.

ummm, I think you are referring to Phil Gramm. Unfortunately, I think Rick
was referring to Lindsay, the South Carolina Senator......
I'll read on, and chuckle......

which, I strongly(VERY strongly) suspect translates into:
"the analysis was made by folks far from the campaign, with no clue of state
politics" Sticking to that strategy outlined by Rick, as the SOLE strategy,
or even the DECIDING strategy element, is sheer lunacy. The numbers just
won't add up. Obama's team is/was very good at reading the rules well before
the first planning meetings, and attacked this campaign accordingly. They
did, from state to state, what needed to be done to win the EC, easily. They
attacked largely rural/suburban states with traditional GOP leanings,
forcing the GOP to play virtual constant defense. They DID utilize big
margins among non-whites in cities to their advantage. They maximized
turnout by use of cutting edge techniques never really used before in
practice(many were straight out of political theory classes at the
University level). And, they won. Now, let's all get back to whatever the
original topic was......

Lunacy would tend to suggest merely baying at the moon crazy. The
strategy which Rick insists is true comes from baying at a planet
far beyond our moon.

Uh ... Rick started this topic and he appears to be claiming that
Arlen Specter is a communist. Are you sure you want to go there ?

Boy oh boy I think you underestimate Lindsay Graham. I see him as one
of he best the conservatives field, intellectually capable and
prepared, principled and tough minded, and willing to oppose the crowd
(he was steadfast against the torture thing, as well as the jury-
rigged Guantanamo crap.). Now, mind you, I do not buy his political
basics, I am just saying I wouldn't write him off as a lightweight. He
is for Democrats to take seriously, and he could well emerge as the
leader of a re-energized, freshened-up version of Conservative
Republicanism. And such a new wave certainly could power a Republican
rebound from the present debacle.
