Ok, the Yahoo electoral graphs began changing... moving toward McCain... the game is on, set up has
begun.

The media is going to spin this thing as a comeback for McCain, to captivate audiences and increase viewership.

Get out the vote people, don't let them steal this thing again.

1. As long as we're still well over 300, I'm not going to worry.

2. I just looked and it had Obama up 50.0% with McCain at 43.7%
that's not all. Its EV count had Obama up 344-167. They need to go further than that to hype a comeback.

4. having the race portrayed as tightening will perhaps get more people out to vote
Make people see that they do need to vote, not be complacent

6. Huh?
Hell, Yahoo has already declared Obama the winner and has him near 300 electoral votes. Their latest "poll of polls" shows Obama up by 6+%

I think this morning's poll of polls on Yahoo had McCain moving up by .1%. He's going to have to do a lot better than a tenth of a point gain per day to catch Obama.

7. The race ALWAYS tightens close to election day
The media will play it up for ratings, but the electoral votes are looking well in hand.
