Re:But the good news for Obama ends there.

Here is the latest from Iowa Electronic Markets. (There is probably Obama bias in the numbers at this site and this probably has been so since Obama's impressive showing on Super Tuesday, because this site is probably drawing more "Obama type" users than others to it, but I've always enjoyed following these numbers and they're certainly indicative of the liberal and "independent" [sic; liberals who don't want to call themselves Democrats or liberals] Net crowd).

The latest figures show Clinton now running little better than Edwards _today_ in real-world terms; Obama is at 92 and Clinton at around 2 (oh-two).

What's-His-Face hurt Obama by giving McCain a big boost, but Obama and the Dems have recovered, though it's a closer race than it had been, in the Vote Share market (first graph below). In the Winner-Take-All market (second graph below), the Dems actually are pulling away from the GOP at this time. There was just the slightest microsopic spike at the end of a recent pro-GOP, anti-Dem trend (relative only, the Dems have led all the time) but now the Dems have shot up, GOP down.

I think your figures may be wrong for McCain vs. Obama.
