1. Great!

The National polls have been off from the state by state add ups.

Good to see them going more to Obama.

[JuniperLea]

2. Not bad, but I hope to see him up by 10 or 15 really soon

I can't believe there are so many idiots who hate Bush but are supporting McBush! It's very scary.

3. I don't think we'll have to wait long. Just a feeling. :) nt

4. I think his trip abroad is going to be the straw that breaks the McCamel's back

The one thing he's lagging on is foreign affairs, that's about to change...

5. Media better play fair about the trip coverage.

What we know is that never matters what happens, as long as media together decides on a truth.

6. We need a steady, slow increase of support

until after the convention when a larger bump can be sustained better.

These figures look about right for now and support the lead he's been building in state polls.

7. How is Obama up like this if there are so many Clinton supporters supposedly

going to vote for McCain. Makes no sense. I think its more proof that these people like PUMA are really Repukes.

8. And, that they're a minute percent of the population

let's say about .00000000000000000000000000000000000000001 of a percent

9. Here's a link from one of my favorite sites

Basically, he's saying that, in states where either candidate has an edge of 5 points or better, Obama has 242 EVs to McSame's 160. He is currently projecting a 293-245 win for our guy this November. I'd take that. :)
