I think your x is correct. Even in Denver there is more enthusiasm than before. I wrote last week that I have yard signs in my neighborhood that say “Another Democrat for McCain” in their yard. That’s a first. My own yard sign has not been stolen this year, as happened in 2000 and 2004. That indicates, to me anyway, that there is more trepidation over voting Obama than there was for either Gore or Kerry.
I will also repeat. Early voting may be showing more Democrats voting then in years past but that does not mean they are voting for Obama.
It is difficult to reconcile the polls to what we are seeing first hand here. Yes, blacks and the more radical Democrats will vote for Obama but is real support there? Maybe I’m wearing blinders but I don’t see it.
Sounds encouraging.
I’ve not seen a single Mc/Palin sign anywhere around here. 2004 there were lots of W signs. But I’ve seen only 1 bumper sticker for O. Ne is heavy Red but my circle is not enthused with Mc but all are against O.
New poll in, and, IIRC, this was supposed to be one of the more reliable ones in the past. Looks like McPalin has McMentum (hopefully nationally and especially in the battleground states and all the undecideds go to McPalin - - fingers crossed and prayers up). Everyone needs to vote and drag someone w them to vote R:
IBD/TIPP: O-46.7, M-44.6, U-8.7 (McCain gains 2.4 points!)

The race tightened again Sunday as independents who’d been leaning to Obama shifted to McCain to leave that key group a toss-up. McCain also pulled even in the Midwest, moved back into the lead with men, padded his gains among Protestants and Catholics, and is favored for the first time by high school graduates.
