Weird, usually the left is far better at slewing online polls though.

I have a theory, one that I got from Rush, that voters regularly lie to pollsters, and that's why Obama seems to have an overwhelming lead.

In the case of Obama, I think a lot of people being polled are saying they support Obama simply because they're afraid if they don't the poll-taker will think they're a racist.

Those people won't have to worry about anyone's opinion of their vote in the privacy of the ballot box.

McCain: 62% Obama: 38%

The most glaring thing I see is that when you scroll over each state it tell you who has the majority vote in that state. Right now McCain is ahead in CALIFORNIA! LOL

Putting aside the so-called “Bradley effect”, I really do think there are a lot of the pissed off Hillary supporters out there that will not vote for BO. I saw one interviewed (she started the website: clintons4mccain.com) that was very articulate, passionate and reasoned in why she would never vote for Obama — — he is an empty suit with no experience. Further, a lot of Obama supporters are juvenile, snide and arrogant and have really turned off a lot of these Clinton supporters. I do not think we are done eating popcorn yet...

Most of the folks around my part of California are closet McCain supporters.

The priest at the biggest church in town is telling parishioners that their decision to vote needs to be based on whether or not the candidates support Same Sex Marriage and Abortion.

He then states that a Catholic should not support or vote for anyone who supports Abortion the murder of the defenseless unborn.

According to the poll B-HO is winning only in D.C. ...and it says 50%/50%, so the lead isn’t by much.

I have this crazy feeling that McCain is going to win in a landslide. I can’t wait to hear what Bob Beckel will say, assuming this does happen. He’s been on H&C and other shows claiming that McCain doesn’t have a chance.

For whatever reasons ( demographics? ) the AOL poll seems to be skewed in favor of the Republicans:

I do think that McCain is actually ahead, but not by this much.
