Get Oprah Some Fresh Dress Shields

The other day, I was writing enthusiastically about McCain’s poll numbers, and people told me the electoral map was what really mattered. I said it seemed to me that if the national poll changed, the electoral numbers would have to follow it. It doesn’t really make sense to have a big change in popular-vote polls without an accompanying, albeit delayed, shift in the electoral picture. Think about it. The planets have to line up a certain way in order for the popular vote and the electoral vote to conflict. It’s not normal.

I guess I was right. Take a look at Realclearpolitics: the latest electoral map shows Obama with 217 votes and McCain with 216. Nearly even.

I hope Obama continues to offend and pat himself on the back and cry victim. I hope he keeps scolding and patronizing the press. It might eventually become fashionable for mainstream journalists to pretend they knew he was a brat all along.

Today McCain said he would offer Obama a cabinet post. It was a silly thing to say, but it may have a positive effect. There may be some BO voters out there who aren’t totally sure about Obama as President, but who would like to see him in the picture somewhere.

If we’re still seeing good numbers on Monday, I think Obama will officially be over.
