Obama can win Georgia

In the primary, more Democrats turned out than Republicans by a slight margin. (1,060,851 to 963,541). The last time this happened was in 1992 when Clinton edged Bush I to win the state.

In the democratic primary, Obama received 704,247 out of 1,060,851 votes. In the Republican primary, McCain received 304,751 out of 963,541 votes. This bodes well for Obama.

In 2004 Bush, rec'd 1.9 million votes to Kerry's 1.36 million. I believe that Obama will need 1.8-2 million votes to win. Not an impossible task. I estimate that 2.3 times more people will turn out for the General Election than did in the primary.

Finally, there are just 21 days until October 6th (the LAST DAY to register to vote)!
