What if all polls are wrong, as they have been in previous campaigns, because the media is oversampling Democrats to depress the Republican turnout?

Didn’t the election-day polls say Kerry would win by over 300? Over 320, even, if you count Zogby?

I think the opposite is likely to happen. Polls sample 'likely voters' which is code for 'voted in the last Presidential election'. I believe Obama may be drawing in quite a few normally apothetic liberals who just couldn't get too excited about John Kerry.
