New York Times: Reports on the decision by Obama to run his Campaign on private Money. Lets recall Kerry had a few million still in the bank in the 04 race and he still lost. Its not if you got the money, Romney, its if the people will trust you, money does not mean winning, the Obama Camp has to be careful, one gets the impression that they think that if they raise more money than McCain they will win, then they are missing the point, they have to get their candidate to the centre with right message.

The Other Polls
Right folks lets have a look at other polls, and in my view more accurate for the 08 race.
Rasmussen Poll: This shows the race a lot closer, Obama has a 5% lead of McCain. The tracking poll has the following results: Obama 48% - McCain 43%. Again Obama has not gotten over the 50% mark while McCain is still under 45%. Thus a narrow lead by Obama, recall if narrow lead by rule is that its an even race.
Gallup Poll: This poll shows a even race, Obama is ahead but not by much, 2%. The poll find the following, Obama 46% - McCain 44%. As stated above the Obama lead is between 5% - 2%. This race is not going to be a blowout for either candidate. A long hot summer awaits, well rain in the UK.
USA TODAY/Gallup Poll: Also shows that the Obama lead is in the margin stated above, in this poll its 6%. Not the 15% swing in the Newsweek Poll. In this poll, Obama 50% - McCain 44%. Lets see if the polls change over the days, weeks ahead, if not we can discount the Newsweek the poll as an outrider and that is being kind, Newsweek is the tank for Obama lets hope its not became a 527 in all but name.
New Poll - Newsweek
Newsweek: Reports that Obama has had a major bounce since becoming the nominee. In fact a 15 point lead over McCain. The Poll has Obama 51% - McCain 36%. Lets recall New Hampshire folks, Obama had a lead of over 10% in the race with Hillary Clinton, what happened Clinton won by a few points. The Poll could show a trend, but lets waits for the regular tracking polls to show this lead, don't make a bet based on this poll till you see other polls.
