As it Now Stands: Obama in a Romp

Could conventional wisdom be taking hold in this nation of idiots? Could the Sarah Palin hoax be losing its luster for even the dumbest of the, "I just couldn't trust no black President" Ohioans? Might the post-Jesse Helms tide in North Carolina be swelling into real Carolina blue? If only we could vote tomorrow!

If the Presidential election were held today, based on up to date polling, Barack Obama would win in something just short of a landslide. Taking into account state by state polling from various sources, Obama would beat John McCain, 301-237 in electoral votes if the election were held today. Amazingly, Obama would win by this impressive margin without Ohio and Florida.

Recent polling indicates that Obama has started to pull away in Colorado, now leading by more than five points and has actually opened up a slight lead in Virginia and North Carolina; once considered Republican strongholds.

Of course any lifeling Democrat knows that no one can screw up an election like the Dems. McCain's attempt at an 'October surprise' has probably been on tap for weeks now, and will be unleashed any day now. So, none of us are getting too cocky with such speculation.
