5. Surprising... that's about 3.5 points better than yesterday.

I thought with the reduced lead in the Gallup tracking, there would be a drop. Must have been more than offset with state polls.

7. 538 is good EXCEPT: It a prediction based on CURRENT POLLS!!
So, you know, polls could change, and very well, may change.

Just something to keep in mind.

8. If that electoral vote count holds...

9. If only the election were today...

By the end of October this thing will be tighter than a tick - the republicans and the MSM need this thing close enough to steal - and it will be. We need to keep our heads down and dig deep. Keep making calls, knocking doors, offering rides to the polls, and donating till it hurts - Obama needs our efforts now more than ever.

If it will make you happy - you can say "I told you so on" November 5th - k?

edit - typo
