Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s Electoral Vote lead over Sen. John McCain continues to grow based on state polling results. Since yesterday, the Illinois Sen. has picked up another 5 electoral votes, as Nevada has switched from being a tossup state to “leaning” Obama. Mr. Obama now has a possible 291 electoral votes versus Sen. McCain’s 163. 270 are needed to win the election, including ones that come from hanging chads in Florida. One of the most incredible moments in American history is almost upon us.
