this just in...

Apparently--according to CNN.com--McCain has inched ahead of Obama in national polls, but Obama has a steady lead in the most recent Electoral College estimates.

Forgive me, but it's always seemed to me that, if one candidate is deemed the favorite (read: winning in national polls), they ought to be the one the Electoral College goes for. I mean, I'm sure by now it's no secret which candidate I favor, but numbers are numbers.

Oh well. Anyway. Read the story here if you're interested.

P.S. This part cracks me up: "Although polls across the country are open on one day, the election is not a national poll but a series of 51 state-level elections that decide the members of the Electoral College."

Come on, CNN.com. Really?
