Right now, RealClearPolitics.com puts Obama up by an average of 4 points, across the major polls. Most polls have a margin of error of 3-4%, which means that - as of TODAY - Obama has, at best, an 8% advantage, and at worst, a 0% advantage. A week ago, it was a dead heat, and the week before that, McCain was up by an equal amount. In the ongoing meetings concerning the Wall-Street bailout (a whole other topic), McCain is coming out looking like the statesman, and Obama looking like the partisan hack. McCain's numbers will likely rise a bit because of this.

In other words, NOTHING is yet clear - except one thing, and that is that defeatism on our part only helps Obama. You want to make sure that he's not President? GIVE, GIVE, GIVE!!! Give of your time, your money, and your effort. Be part of the solution, not part of the defeat. You plan for defeat, and that is what you'll get. You plan for a win, and you may still lose, but at least you can hold your head up about it.
