Washington, Nov. 3: Barack Obama and the Democrats hold a commanding position ahead of Tuesday's election, with the Illinois senator leading in states whose electoral votes total nearly 300.
Obama’s Republican rival and Arizona senator John McCain has not been in front in any of the 159 national polls conducted over the past six weeks. His slender hopes for winning the White House now depend on picking up a major Democratic stronghold or fighting off Obama''s raids on most of the five states President Bush won four years ago that now lean toward the Democrat.
He also must hold onto six other states that Bush won in 2004 but are considered too close to call.

A latest research has claimed that the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 that took more than 200,000 lives was not the first of its kind to hit the region.
Other than this, the study also revealed that such gigantic tsunamis occur in the Indian Ocean every 600 to 700 years. These finding could be used to predict the next Tsunami.
Karin Monecke, former post-doctoral geologist at Kent State University in Aceh, Indonesia led the research team, and he discovered that the 2004 sand sheet headed deposits of three tsunamis from the past 1,200 years.
According to a Kent State release, “Another research team working independently concluded that a tsunami of similar size struck the region between 1300 and 1400 AD.”
