"There have been some changes in the swing state count and this time John McCain can add some to his column. "

McCain is finally catching up in electoral votes, not just in national polls.

Digg,Share,Reddit

Oh Lordy don’t post it to Digg - the L33Ts there will have fits.

[Question Liberal Authority]

What the heck? They have Obama at 248 and McCain at 160? And North Carolina is “almost leaning McCain” because one poll shows him up 20 and another poll shows him up 4? That isn’t enough to put it in the “leaning” column?

This is a notoriously liberal site, but today they put McCain ahead for the first time.

There’s definitely something seriously wrong with their count there. A quick Google News search of “polls mccain” shows headlines proclaiming that McCain has taken the lead, widened his lead or is gaining ground in most states.

[Robert A Cook PE]

They have “Barely Democrat” listed for both PA and CO.

“Barely Repub” for IN and OH.

[alexnobles]

The state will change with the next update, as soon as another poll is issued about the state... Don’t worry.

And the count is fairly accurate... Give or take 25 or so electoral votes...

[alexnobles]

Just so we all know, It is doing fairly good on reddit... Which is not like digg, lol... (posts can’t get buried by three people.)

showing Texas “weal Republican”? I think not.

[raccoonradio]

Have McCain pick up Penn (”weak Dem”) and it gives him
a solid lead.

[Signalman]

This site has McCain 270 EV, Obama 268. But they also have CO slightly leaning Obama. CO is going for McCAin.

My prediction is that Obama will win Hawaii, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and maybe a three more but he will not even win Illinois. It will be a landslide for Palin-McCain.

If people continue to get “sick” of the obama... I may have to agree with you. This is one election where all the “press” has actually started to work against Obama... It has been too much press, good or not. People get bored... and move on.
