Instead, Obama continues to widen the electoral gap, in a few cases substantially.<\/p>\n The other thing that’s getting interesting to follow is the Senate race. The Dems, of course, are at 51 currently (the “1” being quasi-Democrat Joe Lieberman). Of the above sites that have an easy access to a Senate race counter, the spread is everything form 55 to 59 when the dust clears. Nobody is seriously suggesting that the Dems might get a cloture-proof 60 yet (I’m not 100% sold they should or shouldn’t), but it’s awfully close in some of the races.<\/p>\n Crossing fingers here …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A week later, here we are (+ means an increase, * means unchanged, – means a decrease): Site Obama McCain Toss-Up ElectionProjection.com 369 + 169 – Electoral-vote.com 357 + 181…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-elections-2008"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":13692,"url":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/2008\/10\/21\/electoral_college_watch_5.html","url_meta":{"origin":13712,"position":0},"title":"Electoral College watch","author":"***Dave","date":"Tue 21-Oct-08 10:24am","format":false,"excerpt":"A week later, here we are (+ means an increase, * means unchanged, - means a decrease): Site Obama McCain Toss-Up ElectionProjection.com\u00a0 364\u00a0- 174\u00a0+ Electoral-vote.com 364 + 171 - 3\u00a0-...","rel":"","context":"In "Elections 2008"","block_context":{"text":"Elections 2008","link":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/category\/politics-law\/elections-2008"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":13672,"url":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/2008\/10\/28\/electoral_college_watch_4.html","url_meta":{"origin":13712,"position":1},"title":"Electoral college watch","author":"***Dave","date":"Tue 28-Oct-08 9:08am","format":false,"excerpt":"A week later\u00a0(and a week before The Big Day), here we are.
