McCain will just go back to Senate and try and thwart all Obamas plans. He can still be an old codger and have some fun even if he loses.

Some of the conservatives certainly seem to be leaning towards it being ovah.

Obama Leads on Intrade 353 to 185

This morning's state-by-state Intrade.com map shows Obama with 353 electoral votes to McCain's 185. This is not far off from our score of 346 to 181 with Missouri tied. Bettors think Obama will sweep all the Kerry states plus Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Iowa, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada. The only swing state colored red is Missouri. Here is the map.

Obama Continues to Lead in the National Polls


Here is today's batch of national polls. Obama has an average lead nationally of 8%.
- Diageo tracking (Obama +8)
- Gallup Tracking (Obama +7)
- Rasmussen tracking (Obama +6)
- Research 2000 tracking (Obama +13)
- Washington Post/ABC (Obama +10)
- Zogby (Obama +4)

Today's Polls


We have three presidential polls today. One of them is either astounding or wrong. Minnesota State University ran a poll in North Dakota and found Barack Obama ahead of John McCain 45% to 43%. Now that is just a statistical tie, but a statistical tie in a state Bush won by 27 points in 2004 and 28 points in 2000 is not good news for McCain. He really doesn't have the time, energy, and resources to fight for states like North Dakota. Maybe this is just a fluke though. Nevada is also a near tie, but that is expected.

It is a terrible problem to have the Bush Administration as your biggest albatross on your neck. McNasty simply has not benn able to counter the depth of disgust and distrust people have of the Bushies and the Repugliccons. His own BS efforts at negative ads, and the Perils of Palin, have conspired to make him the equivalent of a whipped dog. No one likes to pet a whipped dog.

He can still snarl if he wants. but I think his Senate standing will be greatly diminished, and he will likely retire at the end of his term. Fun? Not likely. Bitter, crusty old man with a bad temperment? Likely.

Time for Change. Change We Need.....

Hard to believe Obama has moved ahead in Missouri.

Not a big surprise. I've been saying for a while that once the media stops trying to sell us all a bill of goods that this race is somehow incredibly close the real numbers, a massive Obama lead, would emerge.

I especially like how the meaning of "swing state" has changed so dramatically in just a few weeks. Last month swing state meant PA, MI, FL, and NH. Now swing state means MO, IN, WV, NC, and GA.

I read an article where Janet Napolitano is considering running for Senate
in 2010, either against McCain or who runs as a Republican. And Janet is
very popular in Arizona, won by a landslide in the governor's race in 2006.

More poll updates (as of 10/13)


A Quinnipiac University poll of likely Colorado voters taken October 8-12 shows Obama leading McCain 52%-43%.

A Rasmussen Reports poll of likely Florida voters taken October 12 shows Obama leading McCain 51%-46%.

A Quinnipiac University poll of likely Michigan voters taken October 8-12 shows Obama leading McCain 54%-38%.

A Quinnipiac University poll of likely Minnesota voters taken October 8-12 shows Obama leading McCain 51%-40%.

A Rasmussen Reports poll of likely Missouri voters taken October 12 shows Obama leading McCain 50%-47%.

A SurveyUSA poll of likely Missouri voters taken October 11-12 shows Obama leading McCain 51%-43%.

A SurveyUSA poll of likely New Jersey voters taken October 11-12 shows Obama leading McCain 55%-40%.

A SurveyUSA automated poll of likely New York State voters taken October 11-12 shows Obama leading McCain 64%-31%

A Rasmussen Reports poll of likely North Carolina voters taken October 12 shows Obama and McCain tied at 48% apiece.

A Rasmussen Reports poll of likely Ohio voters taken October 12 shows Obama leading McCain 49%-47%.

A Marist poll registered Ohio voters taken October 5-8 shows Obama leading McCain 48%-40% among registered voters and 49%-45% among likely voters.

A SurveyUSA poll of likely Oregon voters taken October 11-12 shows Obama leading McCain 57%-40%.

A Marist poll of registered Pennsylvania voters taken October 5-8 shows Obama leading McCain 49%-40% among registered voters and 53%-41% among likely voters.

A Rasmussen Reports poll of likely Virginia voters taken October 12 shows Obama leading McCain 50%-47%.

A Quinnipiac University poll of likely Wisconsin voters taken October 8-12 shows Obama leading McCain 54%-37%.


- - Not much good news for McCain in any of that. He seems to be holding his ground in the southeast, but the great lakes states are moving further and further out of reach.

Maybe he'll get a bounce out of the stock rebound. And he still has one debate left ... but it looks like longer shot every day.
