I visit this site at least once a day. Sad I know but I'm addicted to the polling that RealClearPolitics produces for the world's most important election. RCP also tracks the battleground state-by-state polls that are at least as important. Obama leads McCain in Ohio, which Bush won in 2004. McCain leads Obama in Michigan, which Kerry won in '04. Other key states to watch will be New Mexico, Colorado, Iowa and Virginia - which Dems hope to snatch. The Republicans hope to gain in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire and will follow a lot of the strategy trailed by Clinton by painting BO as out-of-touch with ordinary, working Americans. McCain is raising the lion's share of donations from "ordinary, working Americans".
One theory says Obama will get a big boost in the polls now that he's no longer in a fight with Hillary Clinton. Another says that McCain will get a boost because he'll finally get more media attention. I have no idea which theory is true.
