England for Obama

From the Politicalwire blog:

“An early look at today’s Diageo/Hotline tracking poll shows Sen. Barack Obama now holds a double-digit lead in key battleground states.

Among registered voters surveyed in Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin and Nevada, Obama tops McCain 50 to 40%. Just a week ago, Obama led 45% to 42%.

Nationwide, Obama leads 47% to 41%.”

I don’t have time to write about this right now, so will leave you in the capable hands of the following people to explain -

Alaskan blogger AK Muckraker (read her report here)

and

Keith Olbermann (see video below)

- and I’ll also just say: well done Dems, for actually acting swiftly, and forcefully, this time as the Repubs try to steal the election. Again.

(Note: here’s the Republicans’ response and more reporting at the HuffPo. As we call it ).
