The Electoral College selects

The last two presidential elections have been stronger. In 2000, he made a difference in Florida and Ohio in 2004. Unless things change dramatically in the last week of campaigning, Obama is running the election in the important moments in the electoral college. The survey stable trend is increasingly to Obama in the last two weeks. Of course, this may change in the last week, but here the hill McCain must climb.

It takes 270 votes to be elected U.S. president.

As for the surveys ranges from three sources I consider reliable shows:

> Karl Rove ……. Obama 317, McCain Blend until 64 157
> Rasmussen ….. Obama 313, McCain 174 Mix 51
………..> Zogby Obama 286, McCain 174 Toss up to 78

It is a challenge, if not impossible to overcome in just seven days. Obama has more than enough votes to win now and can be added to the total and an exploration electorl: in terms of electoral votes. While the daily tracking polls are interesting to global trends, do not give a overview as to who will win the seat.

An index is where the candidates are in the final week of campaigning. And the answer is in the states red for Bush in 2004. Not only did McCain stay in the Red States playing defense, Obama Is play offense. Not a good omen. RED Staes and five places in 2004 in the blue column of this cycle of states (Iowa, New Mexico, Virginia, Colorado and Florida). And the currency of 51 states, Rasmussen said, all were red states in '04 (Missouri, Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina).

More bad news is that in these four states move up, Obama leads in polls of opinion, but the margin of error.

It's the electoral college that elects and with only a week to go, Obama is strong! But anything can happen in political life. Thomas E. Dewey is a good reminder of 1948.
