Poetic justice?

Obama people are freaking out about the polls, which is dumb, considering that we haven't a single debate yet. But regardless, check out this election monitor of state by state polls.

If you look closely, you'll notice that they have "no data" for several states that Obama will win. Like Hawaii.

If you add them up, it get's him 275 electoral votes. He needs 270. But yet, McCain is winning in the overall polling.

So, as of this moment, we have the interesting situation where Obama might lose the popular vote and win the presidency. Talk about irony. Those of us who complained about the electoral college after Gore's loss might come to love it soon enough.
