Tonight's States of the Race

Rasmussen has some new state numbers for our viewing pleasure, so let's take a look at them!

Ohio:
McCain (R) 48%
Obama (D) 47%

Virginia:
Obama (D) 50%
McCain (R) 48%

Missouri:
Obama (D) 50%
McCain (R) 47%

Colorado:
Obama (D) 51%
McCain (R) 45%

Florida:
Obama (D) 52%
McCain (R) 45%

The bad news: Ohio??!! McCain's still slightly ahead in Ohio? Rasmussen says so, but they contradict just about all other pollsters that have recently shown Obama's numbers rising in The Buckeye State. So is Ras right and everyone else wrong? I don't know, so let's wait and see.

The good news: At this point, Obama's fortunes don't lie with Ohio alone! After all, Ras is yet another pollster showing Obama up by a healthy margin in Florida! If Obama can secure Florida, then it's truly game over... We win! Also, Obama has rebuilt a lead in Colorado while also taking the lead in Missouri. If Obama wins all these states and Virginia, then we're in for a sea of BLUE on November 4!

Conclusion: Now's a good time to give Obama an extra lift up if you're in Florida, Colorado, Virginia, Missouri, or Ohio! And no matter where you are, now is the perfect time to give some $$$ to local parties and Congressional candidates in these states. Let's make sure we maximize on a Big Blue Wave! :-)
