Who said this has died down, the new Zogby electoral map shows McCain surging in many key states and is only 8 electoral votes behind Obama after being down almost 50 not to long ago. With 78 toss ups in which I think Indiana is a McCain winner myself.

I agree with you about Indiana. It will be solid red. But the poll is full of crap. It shows Obama with 6% of the vote in Florida and I know he gets more than that. It also gives Arkansas to McCain even though neither candidate is near 50% and the spread is 3 points. And they better be careful about giving Ohio away so fast too.

Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan.

Whoever wins two out of those three will win the election.

Obama might need one of those. McCain needs at least two.

Obama will win Pennsylvania and he will win Michigan. McCain will win Ohio probably. It may actually come down to Colorado and a contest between Boulder and Colorado Springs as Denver metro will probably split 50/50. Of course if Obama can pick up Nevada, that would give him some insurance. Also Arkansas is a possibility. Polls show it close although it is usually red.

Wow, it appears to change by the hour. You find such movement credible?

I say Obama takes the entire Northeast and New England (including PA), the entire Midwest except for Indiana and Ohio, the West (CA, OR, WA, CO, NM). McCain can have the rest. Guess what? Obama wins.

Toss-up states: VA, GA, OH, FL, NV. Even if these all went for McBush, Obama still wins.

You desperado Regressives can track the daily polls like day-traders if you'd like, but I'd say that McBush hasn't got a prayer.

Conservatives, keep hope alive!

"I say Obama takes the entire Northeast and New England" 57 state logic perhaps?

Most would think New England IS part of the northeast!

Maybe we should count which states the G.O.P. [Grand Oil Party] has
put Diebold machines in. How many electoral votes will they steal this time ?
When will the Dems do something about it ?
