THIS JUST IN: The most recent polls show our guy with a whopping big lead (+108 to 118 EVs)

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

The most recent polls only show Barack Obama up on McHundred by 108-118 electoral votes. (NM is a push at the moment, 5 EVs either way. SUSA and Rasmussen each show that the state looks to be moving Obama's way, however, when compared to each pollster's own previous poll.)

These polls include razor thin margins in Mizzou and Indy for Obama (+1% in each), two states that account for 11 EVs each. The Indiana poll is six weeks old, but Mizzou's polls, according to Rasmussen and SUSA, each suggest movement Obama's way when compared to those pollster's previous polls, too.

The latest poll in Michigan suggests he's looking far better there than he looked a few weeks ago. Rasmussen has him up 3% today, compared to their last month's poll, in which Obama was down 1%.

States in Obama's column according to the latest polls ONLY from each state include:
OREGON, WASHINGTON, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, MIZZOU, IOWA, WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, INDIANA, OHIO, PA, VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, DELAWARE, RHODE ISLAND, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, VERMONT, CONNECTICUT, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, HAWAII, ILLINOIS, and NEW HAMPSHIRE--and also DC--for a total of 323 ELECTORAL VOTES (without New Mexico).

1. My guess is that this will be a landslide victory

I think McCain is a throw away candidate and he will be lucky to get one state.

4. Indiana is in Obama's column? Wow!

If he can win that die-hard red state, then anything is up for grabs.

6. ditto on that WOW

I'm in Indiana and it always seemed like my vote really never mattered because it was just so red that it could never be turned around. This is exciting news!

Wow, again.
