McCain 510 Electoral Votes, Obama 28: How the Map Looked 2 Years Ago

SurveyUSA:

Exactly two years ago, SurveyUSA completed interviews with 600 voters in every state (30,000 total interviews), asking them how they would vote in a 2008 Presidential Election between John McCain and Barack Obama.Based on those interviews, SurveyUSA was able to report that:

In November 2006, Obama carried ...

1. His home state of Illinois.
2. His birth state of Hawaii.
3. The District of Columbia.

VOTE OBAMA

I think Obama will get well over 400 electorals myself. I think he's even going to win AZ.

He needs to win AZ now that VA is such a mess...VA is being stolen with broken machines and no paper ballots in Democratic areas...maybe even PA too.

2 years ago.....who would have thought the map would look so different.

I get very upset with this site from time to time, mostly about how they allow and disallow certain comments to post. Although all rules have been followed, they some how block certain comments, for reasons only known to them.

This article undoubtedly explains their vetting process. It's no better than Pa Lin's when She got PUNKED. So goes the comments and replies.

Clearly SurveyUSA should poll Palin 2012. I think (hope) this is the high point of her popularity.

What a difference two yrs makes

[TNFarmer]

Two years, two vastly different campaigns by the opponents, and two very different VP selections. And an Internet to help spread the real facts and counter much of the "truth in advertising" the Republican's spewed.

..., and then they heard this voice crying out behind them. and today they're fired up and ready to go. this is where the story begins.

[skatscan]

Oh, no it's 1984 again!

[skatscan]

That was the Quayle strategy...run for president in the off years.

[peterg76]

Back then Obama wasn't a celebrity and McCain wasn't mentally ill.

[bluguy8]

when did Mc Cain become mentally ill ?

[IcemanXTS]

When the RNC took over.

[chicago25624]

SO what? This means absolutely nothing. NIce waste of space for the huffers

[devildidit]

This was 2 years ago and very few people knew of Obama. But since then he has
put himself out there for the American people and the world to see. The American
people and the world now know who the next President is going to be. Barrack Obama.

This map is just fake.

How?

This were the days that they announced to run for the presidency:
Obama = Feb 10, 2007
McCain = Mar 01, 2007

This map = Nov. 2006

In your dreams, G.O.P.

HuffPost: how did you get tricked?

[saron123]

I thought this was a joke. Isn't not?

John McCain announced his running for presidency on Mar 01, 2007.

Barack Obama announced his running for presidency on Feb 10, 2007.

This map was made in November 2006. It DOES NOT compute.

The right-wing-nuts have nothing but to come up with fiction stories.

HuffPost, how did you get tricked into this.

[Axekick]

You could still conduct a poll without between potential/possible candidates without their having announced their bid for office.

I suspect they ran various head to head matchups between potential candidates such as Giulianni, McCain, Obama, Clinton, etc...

[Thefamilyvan]

Illinois and Hawaii were the only states with sense enough to know a good man when they saw him. Oh yes... and D.C. (although you're not a state.... yet!)
