The Economic Crisis Pushes Obama Into Strong Lead in the Polls

    Right now, the polls are showing blow-out numbers for Barack Obama, with leads even in states such as North Carolina. If it holds up, he wins big. John McCain essentially has to change the dynamic of the race now -- both by hoping the economic situation settles down considerably over the next three weeks and through his debate performances.

     If we could switch the odds in the paper as of today, we would, Obama is the current favorite.
