electoral tie possible
An interesting article in www.fivethirtyeight.com points out that
a) Obama is now in the lead!
b) An *tie* in electoral votes is now more likely.
This means that your vote now counts more than ever. I'll explain:
In the event of a tie, the House selects the president. Even though the House has more democrats, if McCain wins the *popular* vote, they'll look crappy going with Obama. In short, the popular vote may matter this year, which means every blue vote, even in a state that's not a battleground, counts.
