Newspaper's 'Obama Clock' set to 11:48

CHICAGO, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- A Chicago newspaper says it wants its readers to tell it where the hands should be on its "Obama Clock."

The feature in the Chicago Sun-Times shows the face of the Democratic U.S. presidential nominee superimposed on a clock. The newspaper says that when the hands reach midnight, it signals Obama has been elected president, but if they're moved to 11:30, it means he's lost.

With fewer than 60 days to the Nov. 4 general election, the "Obama clock" has been set to 11:48 after the U.S. senator from Illinois saw his eight-point lead over Republican opponent, U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona, dwindle into a dead heat in a CBS News poll.
