    Republican Superstrategist Karl Rove was in the papers yesterday projecting 273 Electoral Votes for Obama. So, even the hardcore Busheviks think Obama will win.

    And it looks like the residents of heavily Black precincts in Cincinnati and Cleveland, who usually get the "Broken" voting machines on Election Day took advantage of early voting in Ohio to make sure that they'd actually get to vote this time.

    Meanwhile, there's nearly an entire month for more economic bad news to hurt Republicans at every level of the ticket. And you can bet that more economic bad news is coming.

    No word on their plans, but Obama voted for the last military pay increase. McCain voted against it. McCain has also consistently voted to cut veterans benefits each of the last 7 years.

    Obama is definately on track to win right now. While things could change over the course of the next month, anyone who says McCain/Palin is just using wishful thinking.

    From msnbc.com today:

    "*** Obama at 264: A week after Obama's poll numbers spiked in battleground states and after McCain's campaign announced it was retreating from Michigan, Obama has opened up a nearly 100-point electoral-vote lead, according to NBC’s new map. Obama now has a 264-174 advantage over McCain, up from his 212-174 edge last week."

    Latest polling data here:

    Every one has Obama ahead by about 6 percentage points. Unless the campaign turns around drastically, Obama will win.

    McCain/Palin, Obama can not be our President, has has no experience, never served for this country, he has no patriotism towards this country. He refuses to put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem, you wan't somebody like that running this country? Someone who doesn't even have pride in his own country? Who has no respect for his country? He refuses to say the Pledge of Allegiance, too. He has no experience, and won't be our President, and a big IF, he becomes President, he will ruin this country.
