New numbers in the electoral map since Ohio just went to McCain. Folks, last week these numbers were Obama 300+ electoral votes against McCains 137 and this does not even capture the potential surge McCain may get following last night's forum. Keep attacking!

I ask this only because I don’t know ... was last night’s forum widely viewed? Based on reports, I sure as heck hope that it was.

I find it hard to believe IN goes to Barak. Flip that and McCain is ahead, which may explain the sudden interest in Evan Byah as VP.

McCain can still lose me but he won me over last night. Cannot believe my experience is atypical.

Obama is being exposed as a fraud. The Dems will switch to Hillary, so she can tap his “charisma” as VP.

No but it going to be about the only thing Talk Radio is going to be talking about for the next week and the clips of Barack are really really really bad. Comes off as just another politican while McCain comes across as Reaganesque.

Just remember, it’ll get worse before it gets better. The Dem convention’s coming and there should be a bounce from that for NoB.

HOLY *BLEEP*!

I know it’s just one poll, on one day, but man alive.

Also, it’s interesting to note that those numbers are with Indiana and Michigan still in the Blue State category, too. I believe McCain will take Indiana and has a shot in Michigan.

Praying that the country is starting to come to its collective senses,

My sister (an Obama girl) called me today and she was surprised at how well McCain did.

Ya, I’ve been noticing that on-line electoral maps have been showing Obama with 300 to 330 electoral votes recently. We may be seeing a surge away from Obama as more voters start paying attention and see what he’s all about.

hey Big John ... the reports have been unbelievably favorable to McCain. By all accounts, ObaHamas was awful last night. Even the DUmp and Daily Kooks are kvetching about it.

IN going Democratic would be surprising. IN has gone GOP since as long as I can remember.

If these are just registered voters, then Mac is probably doing even better with LIKELY voters.

All McCain has to do is capture MI and he’s a winner. That’s why he needs Romney on the ticket.

Considering Dole carried Indiana, Obama has no chance.

I have to be honest here. McCain was close to my last choice (ahead of only Ron Paul) to be our nominee, but if it means keeping BO from gaining the most important job in the world, I’m definitely on the McCain Express!
