6. Halperin's a dipshit. Sadly, he has the numbers reversed.

Follow his linky.

5. I feel good about MI/PA

Even losing democratic presidential nominees carry those states. Not to mention Obama is fairly comfortably ahead in those states.

7. It was a typo by Mark Halperin

Yeah you're right. I checked out the link at CNN's political ticker and it's 44-41 Mccain. Halperin got it wrong. Sorry.

12. We've got our work cut out for us, error margin 4.4 points.......

8/11-13 means that opinions do not include McCain's water declaration to Colorado.

McCain just lost Colorado

Colorado to McCain: Hands off our water!
http://www.newwest.net/topic/article/colorado_to_mccain_hands_off_our_water/C530/L37/

What epic gaffe could unite Colorado�s Democratic Senator Ken Salazar � �over my dead body� � and Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer � �Over my cold, dead, political carcass�?

That would be Arizona Senator John McCain telling The Pueblo Chieftan on Thursady that he wants to renegotiate the famous 1922 Colorado River compact to take water from the so-called upper basin states, including CO and NM, where the river originates and give it to lower basin states like his home state of AZ:

�I don�t think there�s any doubt the major, major issue is water and can be as important as oil. So the compact that is in effect, obviously, needs to be renegotiated over time amongst the interested parties. I think that there�s a movement amongst the governors to try, if not, quote, renegotiate, certainly adjust to the new realities of high growth, of greater demands on a scarcer resource�.

In short, the fact that lots and lots of people keep moving into the desert means Colorado should give up more of its water.

13. This is good news? Obama was up 6 or 7 points most of the year.

And now its within the margin of error; basically a toss-up. Much needs to be done.
