Indiana just flipped. John McCain now leads the Electoral College tally 274-264.

[keat]

Yeah, that should hold.

[Gay State Conservative]

So Osama flipped New Mehico...otherwise,just like ‘04.

[KoRn]

At this point Kerry was blowing out GW in the polls, and historically the other dem candidates have had big leads at this point of other races. This isn’t shaping up well for Obama.

Sunday or Monday I heard a teaser on the radio from Zogby, saying Wednesday would reflect a big change. (leaves the listener to guess)

Will tomorrow show McCain further ahead? My bet would be yes.

[pfflier]

If McCain wins the national vote, won’t he win the electors in the states that just changed their laws to commit to the national majority winner?

[Baladas]

It’ll be a much larger win margin for McCain than that in the fall. Barack Hussein Obama WILL in MA and DC.

[keepitreal]

Obama is going to rue the day he decided to take his grand tour of Europe.

[comebacknewt]

New Mexico and Iowa currently go to Obama. Everything else is exactly the same as 2004.

I don't think this is over by a long shot, but it is nice to see McCain move ahead, even if it is ever so slightly.

[bronxboy]

while better than the messiah, McCain still is a rino.

[Brilliant]

You can bet that the Dems are going to beef up their dirty tactics now.

[LS]

You have to know that right now there is SERIOUS discussion in the smoke-filled rooms about replacing Obama with Hillary-—how to do it, what the damage would be, and whether it’s even possible at this point.

[Teacher317]

Who the heck ever had Indiana for Obama?

Even with Bayh as running mate, it's a long-shot.

BOOKMARK

[newfreep]

It’ll be a much larger win margin for McCain than that in the fall.

Careful of Premature Peaking - the hildebeast is lurking and plans to steal nomination.

[twoputt]

This is news the Dems didn’t need to hear going into the convention. It’s going to be fun watching the fireworks.

Sunday or Monday I heard a teaser on the radio from Zogby, saying Wednesday would reflect a big change. (leaves the listener to guess)

Reuters / Zogby showed Obama ahead by seven in their last poll in mid-June. No way Obama has gone up more than that.

Any "big change" would have to be in McCain's favor. Sure would like to see him move into an actual lead.

BTTT

[ConservativeMan55]

Why is Oklahoma not on that list?

[mouse1]

Still close according to the polls
I’m still hoping for a bradley effect
