2 new polls: Obama-McCain tied, but McCain-Palin surge among women

Remember that the polls for the Reagan/Bush election showed, the night before the election, that they were going to lose 2 to 1.

The 2 to 1 loss part was right - but it was the dems who got trounced.

Ever since then, I've taken the polls with a large grain of Kosher salt.

Same here.

I feel the need to grab a shovel every time a new poll is dumped on America.

There’s an age-old word for candidates who rely on young people to vote: losers.

Or John Kerry.

In the lovefest for Palin that's been going on, I've seen little written about what I think is the other major reason for the bump. Of course, who's going to tell people about it, Andrea Mitchell and Olbermind?

The most successful part of the convention was that Obama's lack of experience is now on people's minds. I think before people who were mesmerized by his "charisma" (invisible to me) just ASSUMED someone running for the presidency had the credentials.

When they actually LOOKED, I think many undecideds were shocked by what they found.

its sad though to think that any American, in particular white Americans, would vote for that racist Marxist buffoon.. .
