Probably nothing shows how far the Democrats have come in just a few weeks than the states that shifted to our dark blue "strong Democrat" designation over the last 24 hours. The new surveys increased Obama's leads on our trend estimates to nearly 10 points (51.1% to 41.3%) in Michigan, 8 points (51.7% to 43.7%) in Colorado and nearly seven points (51.2% to 44.4%) in Florida, all enough to merit a "strong Democrat" designation. As such, we now show Obama leading by "strong" margins in states with 256 electoral votes, just 14 shy of the necessary 270 (and that does not include the 64 electoral votes classified as "lean" Obama).

I live in Oklahoma.

Well, at least we're up three points from the week before.

3. Not to get complacent or anything, but...

...it just may be an early night for election returns on Nov. 4.

5. Oh, no! How can we win without Georgia and Oklahoma?

Obama might as well throw in the towel! It's hopeless!

:cry:

(My concern is palpable)

6. Georgia is inching closer and closer

[PermanentRevolution]

8. As a former Georgia boy, I'd LOVE to see it go blue this year

Not holding out much hope for Oklahoma, though...

15. And the poll conveniently omits Bob Barr...

...who is going to peel a few votes away from McCain.

17. The Bob Barr vote

Is something the pollsters really ought to be thinking about in Georgia. I think the race is tighter here than many think and I am VERY hopeful for Jim Martin!

7. What the hell is OK's problem anyway?

I've known several Oklahomans and they weren't wing-nuts at all. Is it all about oil?

[grammysandie]

9. I've been sitting here trying to figure that out

I don't know if it's about oil. More about fundie religion, maybe. We have a lot of that.

10. Wow, That One

is kicking ass.

11. Why can't he close the deal in OK?

[grammysandie]

13. I think Obama's last visit here was March 19

Maybe if we got more personal attention from national candidates? I dunno, but if he held a rally in OKC, I'd be there with bells on.

12. How is Maine not Strong Dem at 7.5% when FLA is strong dem at 6.8% ?

[mvd]

14. If CO stays strong DEM I will breathe very easily

We'll win all the Kerry states + IA and NM, so all we need is CO.
