Some new Quinnipiac Polls (http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x2882.xml?ReleaseID=1210 - broken link) brings mixed results. Obam leads 49%-42% in Pa., leads 44%-43% in Ohio but trails in Fla. 47%-43%. I think Obama will take Pa., while Ohio and Fla., are up for grabs. The good news is, as things stand now, Obama can still win even if he loses both states, by contrast McCain has to have both.

Senator Obama will close in Florida shortly and Ohio is done for Senator McCain. He won't be able to counter the off shoring issue, particularly his involvement. If Latino registrations continue Texas will siphon his coffers dry, since he will need to defend the Big State.

This electoral projection map currently gives Obama 273 electoral votes even while losing both Fla. and Ohio. If he wins either one, old man McCain and the heiress are finished.

Ohio is a goner for certain. I'm betting Florida won't be close for long....I'm watching Texas. Arizona may become a leaner soon.

The only way Obama can lose Pennsylvania is if Ed Rendell is caught tapping his foot in the men's room of the Punxsatawney Pizza Hut. And even then, it'll be razor-close.

Why, most of the voting machines in North Philly don't even have a lever for the GOP.
