    @hoot owl poll numbers

    RCP shows WA as O + 4.7 and MN as O + 4.7. Is that a tie? Florida , which you describe as gone, they describe as 'leaning' @ M + 6.3 In fact they still project Obama winning with 273 Electoral votes. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/maps/obama_vs_mccain/#data

    So the site you are referencing doesn't appear to back your claims. In my opinion, it's too close to call right now. The national tracking polls are tightening, suggesting that the Republican bounce might be fading. Also on 9/13 Survey USA had Obama at + 4 in VA. Which is not the best news for McCain.
