With national polls tightening Obama has an ace up his sleeve
I am guessing that Obama's team saw this coming in their internals, even if they didn't they are still sure to get a pretty decent bump by tonight's 30 minute spot. I am betting he will keep the EC at least where it's at or increase it and that we will see another shift his way by Friday. Of course I have nothing to base this on factually but Obama has always been a step ahead so there's no reason to think he isn't now.

1. This Was a Great Move
and at $1 million for a national audience, I'm surprised no one but Ross Perot has tried it before.

2. The Ace is the Early voters I think
Much like the California Primary where Hillary built a big lead, I think Obama may be able to build a big enough lead in early votes where he can hang on during election day.

3. I think Early Votes will be key.
I think Obama will take NC and even (dare I hope) Georgia, because of it.
