Despite Obama leading McCain by ~3% on average and consequently 228 : 178 in electoral votes, such has been McCain's resurgence, particularly in nudging ahead of Obama in swing states such as Indiana, Ohio and Florida that McCain would actually win the popular vote according to realclearpolitics.com

Electoral-vote.com has allocated 275 votes to Obama and 250 to McCain (with 13 tied), though assigns Ohio and Florida to McCain. The difference between the scenario above is that Virginia is deemed to be "tied" and Indiana leaning Democratic (whereas both are considered Red States by Realclearpolitics).

Either way, McCain would appear to be within striking distance of winning.

What about Nobama's laughable "southern strategy"? True, increased voter registration in the South has been proportionately greater amongst blacks and minorities (e.g. in Georgia, where Blacks comprise 25% of the vote, they reputedly account for 28% of the eligible electorate of late. Still, the latest opinion polls indicate McCain's support to be 50%, Obama 43% and others about 7% (Bob Barr, Libertarian)).

That leaves NC, FL and VA, all of which will vote Republican.

And the swing begins. The Establishment and controlled media prop them up to knock them down. Observe this happen with Barack Obama.

I've always wanted to be cool, and now you've shown me how, your soooo coool, your awesomness to the max radiates from you dude, I can't beleive you went there, but you totally went there, you put n In front of his name, and his names Obama, making it NOBAMA, that's freaking hilliarious dude, you should work for Comedy Central, I'd email them a CV right away.
Your so cool.
I wish I was cool like you.

I guess if a poster on an Irish website who named his profile after a gas that killed millions of people in the greatest genocide in human history says McCains gonna win, then Obama should forgo the VP announcement and forfeit without delay.....

I would take electoral-vote.com with a pinch of salt because they don't average out all the polls like RCP does. RCP, however, also has McCain ahead in the Electoral College 274-264 where tossups are given to the candidate they lean to. This follows a new poll from Indiana which has McCain leading Obama 50-44.

I think OBMANATION is so much better. It would appear that all those liberals have truely picked an electoral abomination.

The country hates Bush and the Republicans. They want rid of them, yet Granddad is now nosing ahead in the polls. If that doesn't tell you something about the choice then you have to be an eternal optimist. Obama is a media bubble, the question is how long before it deflates. September, October, November?

So does RCP assign equal weight to a month-old poll as to one carried out last week?

The sooner the better. I look forward to the squeals of the trendy left and an outpouring of anti-American bile if McCain wins.
