For the first time Obama's polling 270 in the electoral college.
For the first time in this election, RealClearPolitics has put Obama's electoral college total over the 270 necessary to win the presidency, that's not including forcing the distribution of toss-up states. That change came after new polling in Virginia showing Obama with a comfortable lead. Additionaly, U.S. Presidential Poll of Polls: 49.1-43.5% Obama. Source: Truly Newsworthy & realclearpolitics.

Yeah, Electoral-vote has him up at 349. Either way works for me.

That's awesome. Now if we can just tie up, say, Colorado and Nevada, it's game over.

RCP with no tossup states has him at 353. Right now, McCain's chief goal is to avoid an embarrassing loss.

Yeah, Real Clear Politics has 353 with no toss-ups. I just wanted to point out that even with toss-ups they have Obama taking it.

For the first time in Michelle Obama's life, she's proud of her country.

We're back on this again, are we? At least get the quote right. "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country." That doesn't sound any more controversial than John McCain saying "I didn't truly love my country until I was denied her company." Should we then conclude that John McCain hated his country until he was captured in Vietnam? Give me a break.
What does this one quote, taken out of context, have to do with the economy, health care, foreign policy, or trade? What impact do you suggest it would have on an Obama administration? Do you fear he would implement some sort of "No Pride" doctrine? |

Bug fuckin difference buddy, McCain lived in a box.
The only box Michelle lived in, is the one she created in her black liberated theological head.
