(Newser) – Despite the odds stacked against Republicans, GOP analysts are cautiously saying that John McCain will not only win, but he might do so by a comfortable margin, Politico reports. When Obama’s specific and geographical weaknesses are played against McCain’s strengths, the result adds up to a win of up to 50 electoral votes, more than President Bush's 35-vote win in 2004.

“The broader environment clearly favors the Democrat,” said one GOP pollster, but “a state-by-state analysis actually makes McCain a narrow favorite to win the electoral college majority.” Further, strategists say, any other Republican candidate would never have had a shot. Even a Democratic pollster notes: “The truth about this race (is), this is the year that we shouldn’t lose, and we could lose.”

 A Mac Victory Would Crush GOP

An Obama win will energize the struggling party, but McCain won't accomplish anything in office

Time Time Aug 29, 08 8:46 PM CDT
(Newser) - A John McCain win in November would be the worst loss Republicans have endured in decades, Peter Beinart writes in Time . On the other hand, an Obama win—and subsequent torrent of liberal legislation—would reinvigorate demoralized Republicans. If McCain takes the White House, he will likely compromise with Democratic lawmakers and rob the GOP of its conservative fervor. More »
