McCain Catches Obama On Electoral Map

Only yesterday, Obama had what looked like a commanding lead on locked up states in RCP's Electoral Vote map - it's gone. They're both at 157 votes - solid as Obama's September fade continues to play out.

If you click through to remove leaning and undecided states, it's 273 - 265 Obama. But just yesterday I noted Pennsylvania being at two points.

This isn't to say things can't or won't change course, but if this keeps up Obama will likely lose Colorado or New Mexico, if not both. And he's already in a position, as with PA, where he has to start playing defense. Forget about Howard Dean's 50 state strategy. That scenario is now out. And Obama is out the time and cash he wasted pursuing it.

Some executive experience, that - even if it is the only such experience he has. Unless you want to count his squandering of education dollars in Chicago.

"Obama’s not a “change” candidate. Obama’s not a “new politics” candidate. He’s a far-left liberal who has had to quit the church he attended for 20 years and pretend to be someone he’s not in order to get elected."

Read the rest here. It makes perfect sense.

"Unless you want to count his squandering of education dollars in Chicago."

Well, that depends on your definition, Dan. He made money in the deal, his terrorist friends made tons of money, and nothing was accomplished as far as education in Chicago Public Schools was concerned. However, he did enrich himself and his friends at the expense of children. Now that's the kind of "change" they all could believe in.

Flip NH and we'd have a tie! And just think how much fun that would be. It would make November 2000 look like a civilized and rational political process by comparison.

Ah, brilliant election analysis from the man who guaranteed a George Allen victory 2 years ago.

More FACTS about the messiah.

--
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama tried to direct more than $3 million in taxpayer funds to a Chicago museum whose chairman is one of the Illinois senator’s largest campaign fundraisers…
The planetarium’s chairman, then and still, is Frank Clark, chief executive of ComEd, a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Energy. He has pledged to raise more than $200,000 for Mr. Obama’s run for the White House.
Moreover, the Adler Planetarium is represented by the lobbying firm National Group LLP, co-founded by William Oldaker, who helped launch Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s political action committee in 2005. Mr. Oldaker, a partner with the Delaware Democrat’s son in another Washington lobbying and law firm, is no longer involved with Mr. Biden’s PAC, Unite Our States…
Two years earlier, Mr. Obama sought $300,000 for the Adler in another unsuccessful earmark request.

Dan, let's sink this poseur. How about a few threads on his mind-boggling charitable donations before he became The Candidate.
