Obama Pulls Away

McCain's final campaign gambit - Joe the Plumber - has officially failed, just like every previous attack. Colin Powell's endorsement was a fatal blow to McCain's comeback hopes, and Sarah Palin's $150,000 wardrobe put the nail in the coffin.

Obama now leads by 7.6% nationally, and his lead is getting bigger. This will translate to an Electoral College landslide - barring a terrorist attack by William Ayres himself. Still, it is essential for Democrats to make sure the landslide is so huge that ACORN's non-existent fraud can't be blamed for stealing a "close" race.

So make as many calls as you can for Obama through barackobama.com or moveon.org. And make sure everyone votes early (where permitted) to avoid GOP-engineered chaos on Election Day. With a little bit of luck, we can put the Republican Party out of business on November 4.
