As of today (20081103). John McCain essentially has Barrack Obama right where he wants him. All McCain needs to do is win Pennsylvania, where McCain is currently trailing by only 6 points, and run the board on all of the toss-up states.
The last Gallup Poll shows Obama up nationally by 11%. If you factor in the Bradley effect (-8%) that puts Obama up by 3%. The MOE (margin of error) of the poll is +/- 3%, so we essentially have a dead even race. Traditionally Republicans are more likely to vote than Democrats, so it looks like McCain has this one in the bag. Obama could pull off a big upset but he would have to win states like NY, CA and MA, where he is currently polling only slightly ahead of McCain. Whoever your candidate of choice is, please go vote. Every election is a piece of history. Participate.
