Zogby: Obama 273 - McCain 158 Electoral Votes

I can definitely deal with this:

...Zogby calculates that Obama leads McCain, 273-158. A total of 11 states with 105 electoral votes are within the margin of error and therefore too close to call. A candidate needs 270 to be elected President.

I also love this analysis by John Zogby:

Obama is in the driver's seat right now, especially where it really counts - in the electoral votes. Bob Barr could really hurt McCain's chances. McCain can't afford the level of slippage to Barr we found among conservatives in this polling. While there has been plenty of talk about Obama's recent emphasis on his centrist positions, he can get away with it during these dog days of the campaign as McCain finds himself still trying to shore up the conservative base. McCain will have to move to the center because right now Obama is clobbering him among independents. But there is the rub for McCain: Bob Barr has some juice among conservatives and is hurting him in several states. "<?blockquote>

Obviously, there's a long way to go and a lot of hard work to do. However, right now I'd much rather be in Barack Obama's shoes than in John McSame's.
