I won't bother updating the electoral-vote chart today...since the only change is that Colorado went from weak Obama to slightly Obama.

I don't think we will see any evidence of the debates until maybe mid next week.  And considering that most place it at a tie I'm not sure we will see much of a bump for either candidate.

I think the only thing that is going to affect the numbers debate-wise is the VP debate.  Palin has been rocky in her conversations with tv interviewers which has even prompted a conservative commentator to urge her to step down from the VP spot.   And Biden is known to say exactly what he feels.....which isn't the best strategy for a politician (or is it?).  I even find it interesting that when CNN polled it's readership about which debate they were looking forward to more....it was an even split between the Presidential debate and the Vice-Presidential debate.  I'm not sure the last time that a VP carried so much attention or news in a Presidential election.
