Obama and McCain in the polls...

It appears that Obama is opening a bit of room between himself and McCain in national polls. It is, of course, incredibly early in the process - but I believe this if Obama can get an initial 8 point advantage or so, he can really force the McCain camp to push money out the door at a rate much quicker than they would like at this stage in the process. I know that Obama has taken a significant amount of heat for opting out of the public financing, but that additional cash will surely be helpful in keeping McCain's feet to the fire.

Of particular note on the state by state polling, is that Obama seems to be leading and/or improving in many battleground states such as, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan and Florida. he is even close in Indiana currently, which I will admit is based on far to few polls to hold much water, but still -- Indiana? That has to be considered fairly bad news for the McCain camp.
