Heads Up!

RCP, Oct 14 - Obama +8.2
RCP, Oct 20 - Obama +4.8

Can we, yet again, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

(Side note: Obama's quick rise came at a rate of almost exactly 1 pt per 3 days. If he loses 1 pt per 3 days for the 15 days until the election, then McCain would hold a 0.2 pt "lead" over Obama. Of course, this is unlikely without a significant crisis, so don't get too worried.)

Extra side note: I'm sure you've read, but:
Old fundraising record: Barack Obama, 2008 (August) - $66 million
New fundraising record: Barack Obama, 2008 (September) - $150 million.

Keep in mind that September's totals include the $10 or $11 million raised in both the twenty-four hours following the RNC, as well as the quasi-infamous Barbra Streisand dinner.
