Electoral Count: November 2, 2008
National Percentage
McCain 57%, Obama 42%, all other responses 1%
We have one more day of campaigning left. The popular vote numbers are tightening up on the AOL Straw Poll, but interestingly McCain is not only picking up the so-called battleground states we've heard so much about, but also Maine, Oregon, and Minnesota! Is the word getting out?
Now if that's some sort of fluke and we give those states back to Obama, McCain still wins.
It's also interesting to note that Obama went back to Iowa this weekend - a state that everyone thought he thought he had in the bag. If that's truly the case, why go back? It makes his advertising blitz here in Arizona over the weekend look like a diversionary tactic.
As it is getting late, I will comment more tomorrow night and make one more electoral count prediction before going into Tuesday.
