Nevada: Obama 48.9% McCain 46.8%
North Dakota: Obama 43.8% McCain 47.4%

Love This Story
This blogger in Michigan attends an Obama rally with his baby and:
Meanwhile, the next president of these United States (God willing) was walking toward us and there was mayhem all around (as there usually is on a rope line). If you haven’t been up close, it’s something to see. I was especially intrigued with the [...]

He Knew It All Along
Obama mapped out McCain’s End (Political) Times strategy back in July. And when he did, McCain and his minions all rose up and accused him of playing the race card. The McCain Camp counted that race card business as a win for them. But here we are, and it unfolds exactly as Obama called it [...]

And Now for Something Completely Different
This is cool:
When Barack Obama’s campaign bus made a swing through Missouri in July, the unlikeliest of supporters were waiting for him — or rather two of them, holding the banner: “Rednecks for Obama.”
In backing the first African-American nominee of a major party for the US presidency, the pair are on a grassroots mission [...]
Still wondering what Change looks like?
Change is…
… redrawing an Electoral College Map that Republicans and Democrats swore was carved in stone.
… not suspending your campaign and canceling a debate for fear you’ll patriotism will be questioned.
… speaking to the American people as adults, by not dumbing down complex issues into regurgitant sound bites.
… taking the experienced, POW, elder statesman meme and [...]
The 30 Percenters
As the economy continues to go belly up, as the body counts in Iraq and Afghanistan continue to rise, as the corruption and greed of the current administration’s friends blossom in a putrid fragrance, as our energy policy is driven by oil fat cats, there are a group of Republicans and Independents who want to [...]

Won’t Shake Hands with ‘That One’
Editor’s Note: Take a second to freep this News Journal online poll. You have to scroll down a bit to find it. “Obama won” is at 40% as I write this.
Also, MIKE CASTLE worked to elect George Bush and currently thinks John McCain should be the President of the United States. [...]
Comment Rescue — Update on Camp Obama
Amy on the Camp Obama thread comes back to update us on this weekend’s activities at Delaware’s Camp Obama:
I attended yesterday’s training Camp Obama training session. It’s not too late! This coming weekend is a registration drive for Pa. and Va., both states that Delawareans can be of help with. Delawareans are in a unique [...]
I’m Home
You always hear of those horror stories where passengers are trapped on a plane parked on the tarmac for hours on end. Well, I was lucky. That was the road I and my fellow compadres were traveling down, but 20 minutes after I posted my earlier story, the Captain came on the intercom announcing we [...]

Obama Voters of the World Unite!
The Economist is running an electoral college style online poll. In it, electoral votes are awarded by country and allocated in a winner take all fashion. Currently Obama has a slight edge of 6,216 to 13. I’m not sure that this actually helps Obama, but it is sure fun.
McCain is winning in Bulgaria by 4 [...]
New Battleground Polls

Good Obama News Abounds
Today’s ABCNews/WaPo poll shows that Obama has opened up a 9 point lead over McCain. Why is he up?
Just 9 percent of those surveyed rated the economy as good or excellent, the first time that number has been in single digits since the days just before the 1992 election. Just 14 percent said the country [...]

Camp Obama Comes to Delaware
I was talking to a NJ Dem Party official a few weeks ago and she told me that the recent one of these held in NJ drew more than 200 people from all over South Jersey. And that this event was not only inspiring, but damned fun. I’m posting the entire invitation below [...]

Leadership
Obama is talking about addressing the issues (with his financial team in attendance) and urging some bipartisanship, while McCain is whining and contributing to his epic flail.
This is a brilliant side-by-side comparison (by The Jed report) of these two candidates addressing the current troubles. And, frankly, McCain comes across much like his compatriots here — [...]
Bob Barr as a Serious Spoiler
There was a time, not too long ago, when Bob Barr could have played spoiler. He was taking enough GA voters that McCain would lose the state to Obama. Some of that has turned around since Palin was added to the ticket.
Today, Bob Barr filed suit against Obama and McCain in Texas, accusing them of [...]
Not your Liberal Media
Wick Allison, a conservative with National Review street cred, speaks the truth about his party.
But today it is so-called conservatives who are cemented to political programs when they clearly don’t work. The Bush tax cuts—a solution for which there was no real problem and which he refused to end even when the nation went to [...]
Let’s Compare Obama and McCain’s New Economy Ads
First, let’s take a look at Obama’s ad.

What exactly is John McCain’s plan for the economy? Does he even have one?
