To have a 13 and 17 pt lead in a state, as is the case in WI and MN, and only be considered "leaning" for Obama is conservative at best. In addition to that, there has only been one poll recently that suggests the election is close nationally. In the last few weeks several polls have shown Obama is pulling ahead. I agree it is too early for the Obama team to start measuring the White House drapes, but I would much rather be sitting in his position then McCain's.

When will you realize that this is not a high school football game.

If you don't realize the different between the years, they are obvious. Dukakis was trying to defeat a vice president of a popular president while Obama is trying to defeat a senator who is in lock step an unpopular president. Nice job by some to compare Obama 08 to Dukakis 88. If you don't realize the different between the years, they are obvious.

Just like the Bush/Cheney "shock and awe" campaign in Iraq wait until the McCain/conservative right "smear and fear" campaign is unleashed in full force by the Republicans against Obama. This will influence a lot of voters who fall back voting based on negativity and not hope and positive values. This is far from over.

All during the primaries all Clinton said was "he's unelectable, he can't win" But its showing that even though it was a tight race, he is still doing pretty well. A poll is end all be all but it shows how it may trend. You PUMA/ "Clinton or McCain" people (who are not the same as Clinton supporters or Democrats) used to LOVE polls... until she wasn't doing well in them. Just like you had no problem with caucuses until after Iowa... then they were undemocratic (although no one complained about them when Bill ran). And, just like she had no problem with MI & FL not counting... until she was losing. Seems like if its not good for you, its not important. Just your candidate didn't win so now its voting against your interests. Seems like your "bitter".

Do we want a return to higher taxes? Obama has stated we need to return to the rates we had before the Bush tax cuts. I hope everyone will take time to examine the true implications of the policies set forth by a person with no tangible legislative history and see through all of the demonizing of Bush's policies. I don't believe that everything Bush did was a disaster and the things going on economicaly are not his doing. Don't rush to annoint Obama President until McCain has truely laid his plan out.

The electoral college is a good thing. It prevents there from being a recount in every freakin hamlet just to double check the popular vote. Also, the GOP has never "stolen" an election.
