Obama's campaign made its final push in the city Monday night, with an appearance by running mate Joe Biden and several members of the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies baseball team. Significantly, the appearance was in a heavily white, blue collar district in South Philadelphia, where Hillary Clinton won in the primary by a large margin and the McCain campaign hopes to pick up enough conservative, Catholic Democratic voters to help depress Obama's margin of victory in the city...
...analyzing the turnout numbers is made even more tricky in a state with no party registration. Voters only "declare" their party when they vote in the primaries and this year most analysts believe up to 3% of the "declared" Democrats were crossover Republicans messing in the fight between Hillary Clinton and Obama...
Montana: McCain's Late Stand, 10:30 a.m. E.T. Montana has only three electoral votes and has gone GOP in almost every presidential race for the past four decades. (LBJ won it in 1964; but Bill Clinton took it in 1992 only because Ross Perot chomped into what would have been the Republican vote for George H. W. Bush.) In 2008, however, the Obama campaign organized early for the Democratic primary there and has maintained its presence. Indeed, it has been running local TV spots continuously since June.

Expect to see this again on Election Day, in between the time...
...choosing precincts that accurately reflect the broader region remains immense, as does the quest to pull a truly random sample of voters. The 2006 congressional election included a bias for the Democrats once again, and several of the Democratic exit polls during the primary contest between Obama and Hillary Clinton ended up being wrong, even though some of these reforms were already in place. Still, for this election at least, the exit polls do not appear to have gone too far astray...
