[Arugula Latte]

:bounce:

[hogwyld]

3. Awesome!!! Let's not take our foot off the gas!

4. omgomgomg

can we vote now please?

[FrenchieCat]

15. If you're in Ohio....yes, you can!

[frickaline]

16. no :( .... stupid not-voting-yet Massachusetts

[JaneQPublic]

5. Wow. Those figures make the term "battleground" a misnomer. (nt)

[bluestateguy]

6. Can we hold the election now?

Democrats would have won a lot more elections in the last 40 years if the voting hadn't taken place in November.

[Zynx]

8. We haven't been in this good of shape in October since 1996 and 1992.

Before that you have to go back to 1976. What do all of those have in common?

[FatDave]

26. Ooooh! Ooooh! Oooooh!

[CoffeeCat]

7. Stunning...simply stunning!

However, (and I don't mean to rain on this awesome parade), we have to do this
well and better--because of all of the vote stealing that will happen.

However, I love this--because if Obama is ahead like this going into the election, they
won't be able to steal it. No way in hell can they explain how 5 and 10 point leads in
several states went McCain's way overnight. No way.

Press on! All the more reason to work harder for Obama!

Who would WANT to canvass or make calls for Cranky and Gidget, anyway?

[Bicoastal]

9. Time to put the Republicans out of their Missouri...

...get it? Out of their Missouri?

I slay me. :rofl:

[TheCoxwain]

11. Good one .nt

[TuxedoKat]

14. Love it!

As a former Missourian -- would love to see that state go back to BLUE!

[Cosmic Charlie]

12. Bocce Balls!!

Gobama!

[PerfectSage]

13. Bee-you-tiful CNN polls I especially love the NV and VA numbers. VA,NH or NV will put Obama over 269

on election day.

:bounce: Obama's on fire in today's Quinipac polls.

[Robbins]

17. CNN

Minnessota moved back to Obama column.Missouri moved from Mccain to Tossup.

Obama Is leading more In Virginia than Mccain Is In Indiana(according to CNN) yet Virginia Is a tossup and Indiana Is In the Mccain column.

I have been telling people here don't write us off In Missouri.

Obama now beats Mccain In Florida one on One.Obama has regained his huge lead In Minnesotta.We can
say Obama will easilly win.He has moved ahead In Missouri.He has his biggest lead yet In both
Nevada,and Virginia.

Palin,and Mccain need wins In their debates,and not from Pundits.They need voters to think they did
better than Biden,and Obama In the debates to stop Obama's momentum.

[bushisanidiot]

18. Holy Fuck!! Missouri??!?!!??!

This is amazing.. the more McPanic tries to fix things in his campaign, the higher Obama's numbers get.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[loyalsister]

21. In case anyone forgot.....

Why isn't Obama 8 points ahead in MO if he is 9 points ahead in VA shouldn't he be at least 5 points ahead in MO.
I don't know what everyone is so excited about. We should never forget - we're going to lose.
:sarcasm:

The point is look how far we've come! We just need to keep up the good work!
:grouphug:

[Terran]

22. Woohoo!

I've been saying for weeks Missouri would go for Obama!

[aaaaaa5a]

19. Great ,this confirms the Q's polls from this morning!

[AldebTX]

20. Wow

Very good news.

[Hope And Change]

23. Yay...K & R!!

[Schulzz]

24. McBaghdad is toast. Too many red states in play.

He can't defend them all. MI, PA, and MN are not close anymore. He won't win any Bush state without a huge Obama gaffe.

[jamieque]

25. Gee... I wonder what is going on at the McCain HQ right now...

McCain Staff: OH MY GOD WE ARE LOSING TO A DAMN ROOKIE SENATOR!

McCain: What the hell am I doing wrong. (Looks at Palin) It's your fault.

Palin: WHAT?! WHAT DID I DO?! YOU THE ARE ONE WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!

Uh... never mind... if this continues Obama and Biden won't have to beat McCain and Palin... They will destroy themselves. Yep... it is getting ugly over in the McCain camp. This situation just keeps going downhill for McCain. How do I know this? (Looks at the new polls and the fact that McCain just fell back down to 189 EVs)

When Obama starts chiping away at McCain's red states and turning them into yellow (battleground) and purple then you know that McCain is so royally screwed. And the funny thing is that this is only the beginning...

Stay tune over the next few weeks and watch Obama crush McCain into floor Ali-style. The only thought running thru McCain's mind right now is that: 'It can't get any worst!' Hmm... McCain 'my friend' I am sorry but it looks like things are going to get a WHOLE lot worst in the weeks ahead. This just isn't your year to win.

[FatDave]

27. If he wins those, that's 329 EV by my count

Assuming wins in CO, NH, and all the obvious blue states.

But fucking 9 points in VA? Damn. This thing may get called early.
