So yeah, it should be interesting to see how the right will spin it.

On the other hand, all they need to do is wait, because polls fluctuate and this is a really high lead -- from 11 points ahead, it's much easier to lose a couple of points than it is to gain any (you'd need to change the minds of some pretty set republicans in that 41% that McCain has in the polls)

Bradley isn't and hasn't been in play for a while.

'm short on time today, so let's keep this on point: John McCain is in deep trouble. In spite of some incremental gains that McCain has made in some of the national tracking polls, the set of state polling that follows is so strong for Obama that he continues to hit record marks in all three of our projection metrics. We are now projecting Obama to win the election 90.5 percent of the time, with an average of 346.8 electoral votes, and a 5.4-point margin in the national popular vote.

The above is from the link.
