Election 2008: Electoral College Update (Obama up in CO)

[brooklynite]

Source: Rasmussen Reports

Today, Rasmussen Reports released new polling data showing Barack Obama opening a modest lead in Colorado and John McCain holding a double-digit lead in Florida. However, as with all recent state polling, these results do nothing to change the Electoral College projections of, the Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator. On Thursday, Democrats continue to lead in states with 200 Electoral Votes while the GOP has the advantage in states with 189. States with 111 Votes are “leaners,” and states with 38 Votes are Toss-Ups.

When “leaners” are added, the Democrats lead 260 to 240 (see summary of recent state-by-state results).

Those numbers have remained stable for a long time while the political nation has focused on the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. However, significant shifts are likely in the near future, partly due to an increased focus on the general election and partly due to adjustments currently being made by Rasmussen Reports.

1. Who will Debbie Lieberman-Schultz endorse?

McCain might be one of her "Friends".

2. I can finally say that I'm proud of Ken Salazar though he's DLC

He has been stumping for Obama in CO and that's paying off. I am hoping that Obama's coattails will lift Mark Udall into that Senate seat. Udall is awesome!!!

3. If Obama wins CO, McCain can say buh-bye

And Bam is doing well in NV and NM as well.
The elections look very promising.
