Now that it is closer to Election Day (one week and two days to be exact) everyone bites their nails in anticipation for who is going to win those swing states.
The swing states include:
West Virginia
Virginia
Ohio
North Dakota
North Carolina
Nevada
Montana
Missouri
Indiana
Florida
Colorado
HOW INTENSE IS THAT! Both candidates depend on these states to have their back because these states basically determine the winner. These states are considered "swing states," meaning they can lean either Democrat or Republican, because their traditions of voting with a certain party have dewindled. For example, West Virginia was a Democratic state until the election of 2000 when they flipped and voted Republican. The question is, will they go back to tradition or will they continue their current status? Which is the question in most of these swing states.
Two states that I think already have their answers to the question are Virginia and West Virginia. I feel that Virginia will vote for Obama. Recently in the polls Obama has had a lead here in VA and the upcoming metropolitin of Northern Virginia has a great deal of impact in the state versus southern Virginia which does not have much of an influence. Also, Palin has called NOVA "fake America" which let's be honest, will not go well with the voters that reside in NOVA. Is it not true that if it is US territory it is considered "real America." Hey Sarah Palin Alaska was not even a state until 1959! So I am as, if not more American than you are...Anyway...
West Virginia I have to admit is going to go for McCain. Let's be honest they have voted republican in the last two elections and I think that is just going to carry on in this election. However, the polls in that state have made the distance between Obama and McCain smaller, so you never really know what could happen. I guess that is why it is a swing state, you can never really predict the outcome.
Hopefully all of the swing states will have Obama's back...but we all know that probably won't happen. Well until next time...

HAHA...YES CHANEL...(let's get the boring stuff out of the way first). Very well written. I think that VA has chosen its path for the election and west virginia was recently seen as McCain followers (at least on satuday)...anyways...YES...BASH PALIN...she's retarded...like really, you're supposed to be partial to the WHOLE country...seriously...that the heck?...And surprisingly...after that comment, there were many Republicans at her raly today in leesburg...which kinda doesn't surprise me because some people are retarded...!!!!
Wow...I had no idea Palin was such a jerk! There is no way that I would vote for her now. Thanks for showing me the light, Chanel.
Hopefully those in the swing states will see the light, too.
