We’ve been featuring CNN’s electoral map since Monday, but we’re changing up today and using the New York Times map, which show Sen. Barack Obama with a slightly larger Electoral Vote lead than CNN. The Times map ranks a couple of more states as “solid” for Obama and “leaning” in his direction. The overall polling numbers nationally, to the extent they mean anything, show the Illinois Senator with a solid lead but with up to 10 percent of the electorate that could possibly change their minds between now and election day. Translation: while New York may be a solid Obama state, every vote counts and complacency would be very, very wrong.
