Romney has gained less than half a point in the last few days. I think the bounce happened. He still has the ground gained, but there is no more forward momentum from it.

Man, there is a lot of pressure on Obama tomorrow. He's still winning because of his slight lead in key swing states. I have been watching the Vegas odds too. Right now it's Obama 4/9 and Romney 7/4.

In a bizarre but also good note, Obama has a slight lead in Arizona. That's 11 electoral votes. That would be huge. We wouldn't need Virgina, which is iffy. Florida looks like it is gone. No surprise.

What concerns me, other than Obama's performance tomorrow, is voter suppression in Ohio. I remember during Bush-Gore, Republicans from other states bussed up to Ohio to intimidate voters in line. During Kerry-Bush, sending too few voting machines to Democratic districts resulted in those horrible lines. And there were machines in Youngstown, I think, that switched votes from Kerry to Bush automatically. Supposedly a malfunction.

And this year's brouhaha re early voting. And did you hear about these billboards? In minority neighborhoods around Cleveland. Clearly meant to intimidate.
