Bad News for America

If you look at the little electoral college count map in the upper left of this blog, you'll see that today, for the first time, Obama has slid under the important 270 mark. There's been a lot of blogging done elsewhere about the whys of that, but nobody has the heart to talk about it here.

I recommend daily visits to Talking Points Memo for different points of view about how Obama can turn that around. It is, as Obama said about a different matter, above my pay grade.
