and the electoral vote site:
http://www.electoral-vote.com/
and both have shown a drastic change across the country from red to blue. Here is a quick summary of Projected electoral votes since 9/25, according to the Yahoo dashboard:
9/25:
Obama 250 / McCain 255
9/28:
Obama 278 / McCain 230
10/02:
Obama 330 / McCain 175
Obama went from being slightly behind to being almost double McCain in a week! What's funny is how these numbers from Yahoo dont even include into Obamas total those traditionally blue states such as DE, MD, DC, HI! They say no poll data yet. Guess what the poll data is going to say!? We have watched red states go blue such as FL, NV, OH, VA, NC. Also, just recently on the 2nd site I listed, you can see the red lead slipping in other red states like TX, MS, GA, WV. It is impressive to see such real change! I am taking the election day off from work and have signed up to volunteer for Obama's campaign that day. I also have spent over $60 on Obama donations & merchandise. This is certainly the most political activity from me than ever before because I am fired up and ready to help take back this country for the middle class!
Many republicans have suggested that Palin withdraw out of respect for her party and country. I say keep her, she is helping the Dems' chances more than any other single person!
