Morning Hors D'oeuvres

Nate breaks down the undecided numbers and looks at the African-American voting surge. He also looks at potential jubilation in Chicago:

“… what kind of odds could you have gotten in 1908 that a black dude would get elected president before the Cubs won the Series again?

Matt looks at the odds that YOUR vote will be the deciding vote. If you live in DC or Utah, it doesn’t look good for you.

HuffPo has a compendium of glum GOPers.

Brian Schaffner at Pollster looks at the breaking of undecideds in past elections. Interesting stuff.

Ben has a picture of a house with a confederate battle flag and an Obama sign. The world is changing.

The AFL-CIO says Obama is in the rust belt.

Matt thinks Ezra’s wrong to paint Obama as un-progressive.

Ezra to McCain: “Warning people that Obama wants to spread the wealth around might actually be appealing to an electorate that’s saying , ‘Hey, we need some wealth over here!’”

From my running series, “Signs that the Democrats are regaining the swagger,” this Obama quote:

"'By the end of the week, he’ll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in Kindergarten,' he said."
