Book the Ballrooms! Looks Like Pres. Barack in a Cakewalk
Pollster.com and the Huffington Post have stories today on the electoral map for 2008.
If the election were today, Sen. Barack Obama would win handily.
Even solidly red state South Dakota is in play, only leaning to Sen. McCain 44.8% to 38.7%.
But we Democrats often peak too early. I remember in 1988 when Gov. Michael Dukakis got the nomination that July. His numbers were really good. Only we ended up with Pres. George H.W. Bush that fall.
If Sen. McCain continues his Captain Queeg-like ways, I think that his numbers are only going to get worse for him.
I least I hope so.

Oh Todd I hope you are correct. But, I'll haul out a time worn cliche and say don't count your chickens before they hatch. (Or is that a metaphor? I don't know. Where is an English major when you need one?)
Watch for more "swift boating". McCain is taking a page out of the Carl Rove playbook. Before this thing is over Obama will have more mud thrown at him than a bunch of 4-H kids in the county fair pig wrestling contest.
Hopefully our guy will have a well pressed teflon suit and none of the lies to come will stick.
