Our resident racist Sarah Palin fan laughed at the notion that President Obama could be winning 350 electoral votes yesterday. Well, new polling released yesterday puts the President within 3 votes of that benchmark, and there is more bad news for her and her illiterate bigoted ilk: Romney is losing support in red states. New Polls out of Missouri and Louisiana show tightening races in those states.
