Good!

It will get even better when the Colin Powell "bump" is accounted.

Forget it Bots, accept McCain is closing in and we need to work harder. Posts like this may only lull some of us into thinking we have it in the bag. We need to be focused on the momentum McCain is gaining and focus on keeping the Obama campaign focused and working hard.

No Obama got it in the bag, he's a shoe in, so stay home and conserve gas! Money is tight why waste your money when he's clinched it?

If Obama was predicted to win with a 99.5% chance, I would still vote. I want a landside, and I want to see McCain embarrassed.

I liked McCain before this campaign. But now with his desicions he made, and his style of campaigning, I have less favorable opinions of him.

I hope he'll spread that cash around to some close Senate and House races rather than going overboard with the spending. ( He's running a good amount of ads here in Texas for instance)

Currently Obama's win percentage is 93.1% but nothing is in the bag, the Republicans will try everything possible including voter fraud, voter suppression and the like. Everyone must vote to overcome these tactics.

Some polls are up some are down. I find it curious that when the Gallup goes up, other polls go down and vice versa.
