    @pdx

    I'm sure it would to you.

    Now try spending some time pivoting the late up to date polling data from all polls, say on realclearpolitics.

    It's bad. And not getting better.

    Florida and Ohio are gone. 5-8 points McCain has held constant. Washington, Michigan Pennsylvania,Wisconsin, Minnesota dead-tie. Obama loses even one of those and it's all over.

    Hell,Obama has a 2 point lead in New Jersey. Even New York is somewhat in play.

    So yes, I can see why you WOULD want to hang out on Salon with the converted (all what, 30 of them) but you're in for some increasingly bad weeks ahead.
