LadyNavyVet always provides the most pessimistic take possible on the polls. She was telling us all that McCain was blowing Florida a couple of months ago, shortly before he opened up a nice lead there.
My guess is she is doing the exact same thing again. We should find out for sure in the next week or so.

“LadyNavyVet always provides the most pessimistic take possible on the polls.”
One person’s pessimistic is another’s realistic. Somebody has to take the contrarian view, and I have told you in great detail WHY I take the position I do. BTW, the big lead McCain opened up in FL—where is it? Not in the last two polls taken in this state. I can’t predict the future and I’m not going to act like I can, but so far, I, and not those who said McCain was a slam dunk in FL, have been proven right.
And it’s only polite to ping a poster when you’re going to diss her.
