Holy 50%, Batman!

Sweet. Obama's finally polling at 50% over at RCP. To get an idea of how painful it's been to watch for this, click and drag on the graph such that only October's polling is showing. It's been a long wait.

But, as I've said before, hitting 50% in a polling average typically means it's all but over, barring the ole October surprise, which most commentators (and I agree) seem to think already happened with the stock market. Ask yourself the question: if they caught bin Laden today, do you think McCain could actually pull it out? I'm skeptical.
