I really think that MBBF is grasping at straws here to try to pretend like this is currently a closer election than it is... after all, what is he (or many others) going to do if the numbers are actually TRUE? If the numbers ARE accurate, then its pretty much game over McCain/Republicans, right? So, they only way to remain interested in this whole thing (well, besides checking the news every so often to see of Obama has been caught in the proverbial "dead girl or live boy" situation.

At least he's more honest then the people at Free Republic, who started trying to explain a week or so ago how McCain was actually leading nationally because "everyone expects" a 10-11 point Bradley Effect to happen. (the running joke was that the Free Republic folks would estimate the Bradley Effect to be what ever Obama's gain would be +3%).

Now, for the debate tonight, I fully expect it to be a yawner, as Obama doesn't have to win big to keep the momentum up, so McCain will have to push hard, and the more you push, the more desperate you seem and the more likely it is you make a gaffe.
