Yay!

Newsweek has a poll out today with a 15% lead for the candidate who doesn't represent a party that wants to privatize national parks, destroy public education, and bomb, bomb, bomb Iran

Oh, and the folks (and they are very conservative folks, but I've been following their tracking since the 2004 election, and they're fair) at Election Projection have Obama up to 348 electoral votes. The map in Wednesday's post came from them as well.

There are suggestions that Obama could raise 500 million for the general. That would mean he could afford to spend 10 million in each state. Obviously some states don't need that kind of infusion like California, Illinois, and Vermont, but imagine what that kind of money could do in North Carolina, Montana, or even Mississippi.

Let's just hope this Newsweek poll is not a peak, but a plateau, or even the base of the mountain.
The irony of all this is that I have no love for the guy. He's not anything special to me, but I can just imagine the possibilities for wilderness protection should he be elected along with a senate that gains 7 or 8 democrats.
