The polls that both sides hear about are going to make states closer than they actually are. It keeps campaign workers working and keeps people voting. Don't for a second think that the Obama poll that was accidentally was actually an 'accident' nor that it their polls actually showed a two point race. Partisian polling is a different beast than non-partisian. Edited by brumdog44, Oct 29 2008, 06:33 PM.

BG it looks like you finally get what you want. A low poll in Penn. Mason-Dixon has it at Obama +4. I don't really know much about Mason-Dixon, so I can't speak as to the accuracy. It has been my contention that the race in Penn is closer than the polls make it clear, but I still think that +4 is an outlier. At this time, based on poll results, reports I have read on the internet, and my gut instinct(yeah i know, real scientific) I would guess the race is really similar to what the national picture is. Right around +6 or +7.

I saw that hog. We are within striking distance in all the states we need. Colorado Penn Virginia have all closed. I understand we are strong in NC I live in Raleigh a liberal paradise and we have alot of dems for McCains here. Unless they are Rep afraid to admit they support McCain and ask for the Dems for McCain stuff. I went to a very liberal area for lunch today and had lunch with a Vet. We had some McCain stuff on and some bumper stickers. People came over too the bumper stickers many said they where dems and had already voted and went with our guy. Maybe they are fibbing to be nice I don't know. Penn You do not believe me it must mean you believe I am either 1. Not honest 2. Delusional 3. really stupid. I guess we will see on the 4th. National Polls showed some slippage. |

I don't think you are any of those. I just think you are a true believer and it tends to bias your opinion. There is nothing wrong with that. And as I have said several times. I do think the race is closer than the polss show. I can't bring myself to believe that it within the margin of error though simply because so many polls have Obama ahead by so much. On the CO and VA thing, I haven't checked today, but as of yesterday VA is holding pretty steady, and according to every sight I have seen, Obama is pulling away in CO. I don't know if you are citing internal polls, but from the outside looking in, CO seems lost. It is trending Obama and even McCAin and the RNC is cutting their spending there, which is usually a sign that they think they can no longer compete. |

Virginia National Journal/FD Obama 48, McCain 44 Obama +4 Colorado National Journal/FD Obama 48, McCain 44 Obama +4 Pennsylvania NBC/Mason-Dixon Obama 47, McCain 43 Obama +4 look at the undecideds Virginia 8% Colorado 8% Penn 10% Cnn has us up in Florida and NC now so hold on I suggest everyone watches MSNBC on the 4th. Kieth Obamainia's head might explode. Yes I am cherry picking and these cherries taste pretty fucking good. And the market is up 160 points right now. Fight to the finish motherfuckers O a side note I have not worked in about 10 days you think I still have a job |

Aren't you self employed? You may be broke, but I don't think you have been fired. |

I am a independent sales Rep. I have my own territory. It is like a franchise with large corporate support. The chairmen of the board understands I met him at an McCain event. He is a Vet also so he understands. I am not saying he is happy but understands I need a big November. |

Dreach, What is the undecided factor???? I will use the Kieth Obamania scale undecided plus the margin of error for the Kieth factor. |

I dunno, let's say Obama is up 5% and there are 9% undecided. McCain would need to win 2/3 of the undecided vote. I don't see that happening. Especially because I think Undecideds are more likely to vote 3rd party. |

Since you'll be the last one left who still thinks McCain will win, you can turn the lights out after everyone else leaves. The Bradley effect...no,no, the undecided effect...no,no the Oblerman effect. You keep forgeting the reality effect. Don't tremble too hard when it crashes down on you. |
