If you're interested, these two sites can keep you up to date. Election
Projection, I believe, had McCain up last week.

The "national" polls are pretty much meaningless at this point. They
make for headlines on the cable news networks, but they fluctuate so
wildly from day to day that they really are next to meaningless.

Some of the state-by-state polls, though, are very interesting.

My original prediction stands...if Obama wins Virginia, then you can go
to bed, because the results are known...he won. If he loses Virginia,
we'll all have to stay up later. At the moment, Obama has about a 1
point lead there, well within the margin of error.

It looks to me as if the Dems accomplished what they wanted at the
convention, to come out of it unified and at least 98% behind Barack
Obama. Hillary was absolutely masterful, Bill was damned good, Biden was
good and will get much better as he adapts to his new speechwriters.
Interestingly, and probably because they want to appeal to independents,
the Dems did not engage in the sort of Karl Rovian personal attacks on
McCain that the McCain forces are trying to use again Obama. I did enjoy
the lines about how McCain has so much experience but no judgment. :)

I expect Obama to hit it out of the park tonight, and it is one hell of
a big park.

I wonder how many times next week the Republicans will tell us that
"John McCain was a prisoner of war." That must have been where he
decided he was against torture of prisoners, before he later decided he
was in favor of it.
