Yet more evidence of a close race

NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows Obama only leading McCain by three points.
And the Fox News poll shows the exact same margin--Obama up by only three.
Where are all those people who said this race would be a blowout, anyway...
I still think though that, in the end, the odds are that Obama will win.
But it should be encouraging to conservatives that it's largely been conservative attacks on Obama that McCain's been making (suggesting that Obama's position on Iraq or Russia are too weak; that he's wrong on offshore drilling; that Obama will be a tax-raiser), and those attacks have helped narrow the gap. Don't despair, conservatives; there remain a lot of people out there who agree with you.
