Perhaps; but the latest electoral polls show the opposite:

Not only does McCain lead by 31 now, but several traditional Blue States are either tied or slipping towards a tie(such as Oregon, Washington--work harder Wendy--, Michigan, Wisconsin--work harder Helen, and Minnesota).

Nice to see Colorado has gotten over their convention hangover

NPR has this electoral map

Showing McCain ahead only by a few and not 31. ymmv depending on where you go to look, I guess.

Quite true. The difference is the NPR site throws out any state where there is less than a 3% difference whereas the site I link to tally's everything over 1%.

Neither way is wrong I suppose, like you said ymmv

Trust me, Jeff- McCain will not win Washington. Seattle will go overwhelmingly for Obama, and Seattle rules this state.


Just out of curiosity, has anyone here been polled with regards to the election?

OREGON? Maybe in Brookings but dude, stop smoking the stuff they sell out there, man. There's too many people in Portland... according to the local paper Obama currently has a double digit lead.

Now, let's talk about the really close states, like Virginia.

Actually, my brother in Brookings has said he's for Obama. We usually are on opposite sides of the political spectrum ( he's more Libertarian), so I was floored when he told me he was going with Obama.
