I heard a really interesting guy today on Beck. (sorry I didn't catch who or what his operation was) Anyhow, he said these polls can not adequately gauge "ground game". Especially, since the inception of the tea Party it has been harder and harder to get a really solid feeling for what is going on out there.

Now, ofcourse, I guess this could work against us too if Omug has a good ground operation going.

Maybe someone else heard this and can add more as to what the guy was saying. I was in and out of the car.

Spoke with our county chairwoman today and she echoed this saying, even though our operation is killin' it, we have at least three other groups doubling and tripling up---FreedomWorks, the Tea Parties (which are very strong here, even put up their own billboards), and a third conservative group whose name I can't remember.

She was very confident we would win Montgomery County---which NO Republican has done this decade. We're already up in this county 5000 Rs over 08 thanks to a powerful registration drive.

I heard from one other person---but forget if he was chairman of Hamilton or Franklin---that they were experiencing same response rates there (i.e., Is saying they are voting Romney by large margins) and heavy, heavy personal contacts with all Rs and Is.

I just don't see this state as close.
