What say you?

[cardinal4]

I think a lot, if not most, undecideds break for McCain..

[Prole]

Go Pumas!!!!!

Join your fellow Americans, and defeat the Obama thugs!!!

[Little Ray]

Can we get ‘em to vote in VA, CO, and PA?

[Tears of a Clown]

Source for those figures about the college students?

[Bush Revolution]

I think the Hillary voters (PUMA'S) are the silent vote in this election and they will be heard on Nov 4th. I think you are on to something...I take that back, I'm positive you are on to something...

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Yep.

That’s how they have in the past.

Undecideds don’t break for newbies.

Obama is a newbie.

140+ days in the Senate and he starts running for pres.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Fox News, Rachel Maddow’s show on MSNBC and few others...

Ties in with this article on early voting in Nevada.

My true blue RAT friend is not voting for Pres. She was big time Hillary supporter.

The article errs in attributing the polling differences to oversampling of Democrats and under sampling of Republicans.

Rather, it's the over assignment of those polled to the "independent/undecided" category.

As long as the pollster has a reasonable idea of what percentage of the electorate belongs to which party it really doesn't matter how many of each party get polled. All that will happen is the pollster will get a better number from one set of voters than another.

If, on the other hand, the pollster takes all his Democrat respondents who might vote for McCain and calls them independents, but does not also reduce the percentage of Democrats in the total sampling universe, he simply gives each Obama vote greater weight and thereby distorts the results.

These guys all know that 20% of white Democrats will not vote for Obama under any circumstances. That's about 12% of all Democrats!

By calling them independents they give Obama as much as a 15% lead over McCain.

[HardStarboard]

Hopefully McCain/Palin and Co. will his emphasize connections with shaky socialist leftists in his past and say "now is not the time to take a experiment with America's future" Barack will be around in four or eight years and by then he can be fully vetted - right now he's way too big a risk"!

I think an approach like that might sell with the "moderate independents" with their thumb still up their....well, in their ear.

[muawiyah]

Obama has been around since the Fall.

[Petronski]

Death to vanities and searing pain to those who post them.

[prolifefirst]

Do Hillary supporters really think this way?

No matter how much resentment I might feel toward McCain and his natural RINO supporters I would never vote for a Democrat. How could the PUMA’s vote for us?

[YdontUleaveLibs]

If I was still a Democrat, I would vote for McCain. There are so many reasons, but the biggest is because of what he did to Hillary.

Norman Bates;

Go PUMAS!

I had a feeling something like this may happen. The Clintons are out there doing the bare minimum for 0bama. If the PUMA vote comes through, it will effectively cripple 0bama for future runs. After all....he had this election won and blew it at the end (if it goes down that way. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're doing this and hope they push McCain over the top. Two things concern me, however:

One: They'll immediately try to undermine McCain, and more importantly, Palin.

Two: McCain has a propensity for reaching across the aisle and passing bad bi-partisan legislation.

It will be a long 4 years to keep McCain in line, reminding him the Conservative base is his constituency; not the PUMAS and MSM.
