If NJ is a toss up for Obama and McCain, Obama hasn’t a chance in the rest of the country. NJ, CA, NY, MA and CT are automatics for the dems and if any of them are on the bubble,it suggests the others might be in play as well. If so McCain wins, IMHO

Correct. Very encouraging. But other polls are not so ... so it may take time to shake it all down.
