The American race seems to be getting closer, or is it?

I pop on the data-clogged base for my Forecast as the final month begins to take hold. Just 29 days left in what has been one of the most eagerly followed contests in recent years.

The Latest college tally prediction put by the Electoral Vote predictor is

BARRACK OBAMA 329 (-9)
JOHN McCAIN 194 (+9)
TIED COUNT 15 (=)

The count still would see a 130 majority for the Democratic Party. Well above my forecast of a majority of around 50 for the Democrats. In polls so far this month, The Democrats lead 47-22 from the 69 votes that would be offered to the winner.

However how good a closure is for the Republicans, many of the polls that give McCain his 194 votes are from before the callous Palin attack on Obama accusing him to be a domestic terrorist.
