Gallup: 48 Obama, 41 McCain

Rasmussen: 50 Obama, 43 McCain

Pollster.com: 47.5 Obama, 43 McCain

Okay, national polls don't matter too much, it's all about how the electoral college breaks down, right?

Electoral-Vote: 304 Obama, 221 McCain

USA Election Polls: The presidential matchup polls on our site have clearly shown a trend towards Obama over the past couple of months... His lead is at almost 70 electoral votes.

538: 275.5 Obama, 262.5 McCain

Obama is ahead in the national tracking polls (Gallup, Rasmussen, Pollster). He's ahead in all of the electoral college projections based on state polls (Electoral-Vote, USA Election Polls). He's ahead in a demographic based analysis (538).

As long as he doesn't get complacent, and barring a devastating October surprise, he wins. Period. I know it's too early to make statements like that, but really, I can't see it going any other way. Obama will win in November, with at least 319 electoral votes (or 328, 336, even 351 is within reach if he kicks some serious ass).

//Get used to it, you'll all be saying it soon.

/sorry about above post, it was supposed to be in open line thread.

That's okay, Mojo. It's still a crapshoot--and it's up against a machine that is guaranteed to go to any lengths to do a "fix".

Rev, is that Boone's Farm pretty good?

Heh sweet Cato , that Annie Green Springs RAWKS!!

Yes someone should sue but on the basis of special local legislation. The law allowing gambling only in two specific places is unconstitutional. If we are going to have casino gambling at these two locations, then why not in the rest of the state?

Cella, Cella, Cella! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our bets shall rise to thee.
Cella, Cella, Cella! Merciful and mighty,
Gods in 2 locations, blessed gambling!

2. Cella, Cella, Cella! All the pols adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3. Cella, Cella, Cella! Though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, (thanks to Ark. legislature)
perfect in power, in love and purity.

4. Cella, Cella, Cella! Lord God Almighty!
All thy tracks shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea.
Cella, Cella, Cella! Merciful and mighty,
Gods in 2 locations, blessed gambling.

It's inconceivable to me that anybody actually cares anymore about this issue in Arkansas.

Obviously, they do.

Gambling's already here.

It's been here for decades.

Religion's kept it supressed for decades.

So, instead of developing into the Las Vegas of America and the world's most popular resort destination, which it could have been, Hot Springs is a beautiful third-tier resort.

It's too late to reap the REAL benefits. But for heaven's sake, Arkansas, legalize what's already going on, and reap some tax benefits from it.

Please let there be craps tables.

Lance, YES!

Craps, not chess, is the game that most mirrors Life.

Press the Six and Eight, dealer. And a nickel for the dealers on the hard ten.

WORK with me, Jesus!
