OK...so will McCain win after Cheney's comment today....

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2008/06/dick_cheneys_incest_joke_irks.html?hpid=topnews

"The questioner jokingly asked the vice president if he and Obama were going to have a family reunion, to which Cheney replied he would "have no objections" though he said he doubted Obama would want one - "certainly not before November."

Then came the offensive punch line. Cheney explained that during the course of researching his family lineage for Lynne's memoir "Blue Skies, No Fences" last year, he learned there were Cheneys on both his father's and his mother's side of the family. There was a Richard Cheney on his mother's side, the vice president said."

"So I had Cheneys on both sides of the family and we don't even live in West Virginia," Cheney quipped.

Given that the voting machines are flipping votes to the republicans, I think this red state is staying red. Here's a few news articles on the subject.
