Interestingly, a week ago everyone was talking about how the spread between Obama and McCain would likely slow, or even stabilize, as more and more of the undecideds decided. Instead, Obama continues to widen the electoral gap, in a few cases substantially.
The other thing that's getting interesting to follow is the Senate race. The Dems, of course, are at 51 currently (the "1" being quasi-Democrat Joe Lieberman). Of the above sites that have an easy access to a Senate race counter, the spread is everything form 55 to 59 when the dust clears. Nobody is seriously suggesting that the Dems might get a cloture-proof 60 yet (I'm not 100% sold they should or shouldn't), but it's awfully close in some of the races.
Crossing fingers here ...
