Another Hillary Supporter for Obama-Biden '08!
(Cross-post at C4O Democrats.)
Let me tell you why I am excited this afternoon. I was born in Omaha, Nebraska and grew up there the first seven years of my life before my family moved to California. Omaha is home to a respectable number of liberal Democrats who would no sooner vote for a Republican than play touch football on a freeway during rush hour. I am living proof of the truth of that statement.

Three Blue Guys have run a database of electoral college projections. Forty-five prognosticators have given their final projections. I averaged the 45 Obama projections and the 45 McCain projections, and this is the average of how people see it:
Obama 351
McCain 187
The Wall Street Journal blog describes senior McCain aide, Mark Salter, as "giddy." It quote him as saying:
We feel like we've been saying all week. We're well within the margin or on top in all these battlegrounds. We got a real good shot at catching the guy."

The Telegraph reports that senior Republicans believe we are on the precipice of an epic election:
Aides to George W.Bush, former Reagan White House staff and friends of John McCain have all told The Sunday Telegraph that they not only expect to lose on November 4, but also believe that Mr Obama is poised to win a crushing mandate.
The article goes on to suggest that they anticipate the election will provide Obama more political capital to remake the political landscape than Ronald Reagan enjoyed after the 1980 election.
