If you like this story, digg it!
Today Maine makes 29 states worth 400 EVs!

Clinton, Obama both defeat the meat grinder by 5.

Some great news in the updates!

2 days ago polls from PA, OH, FL showed Clinton taking the lead in all of them! Obama took the lead in PA and OH, but today's PA shows Obama losing slightly.

BUT NJ yesterday flipped in favor of both dems!

Factor in Maine's mighty 4 EVs today and the news is looking very good indeed! Hell, both dems are starting to beat the meat grinder in the general again, a good trend!

So with 29 states reporting, here are the numbers.

Clinton vs Meat Grinder

Clinton: 183, 45.8%
Meat Grinder: 217, 54.2%

Obama vs Meat Grinder

Obama: 192, 48%
Meat Grinder: 194, 48.5%

CO, NM still tied

So Obama is now 2 EVs behind the Meat Grinder with neither candidate yet getting 270.

Though it looks helpless for Clinton, who has now flipped PA, FL, OH and NJ and is still behind by 10%.

There are no states left for her. She would need to score major upsets in the upcoming 21 states, most of which will be red.

Obama though, if he can flip PA and or FL will retake the lead over the Meat Grinder and thus be the savior of over 2000 American soldiers by keeping that lunatic butcher out of the white house.

HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS INDEED!
