Ugh... Tell me this isn’t really happening.

We will win Florida and Virginia. Mark it down my friend. Worry about Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico.

It would be easy to dismiss if the M/D folks weren’t involved... They’re the GOLD standard.

What’s it like spending every moment with a cloud over your head?

"Ugh... Tell me this isn’t really happening."

Perhaps and probably it is not. Look at the below polling results from RCP. Note the poll dates. The NBC/Mason Dixon Poll is Tues through Wednesday of LAST WEEK, 9/16-9/18, right in the middle of the market meltdown and immediately after McCain said the economic fundamentals are sound. Look at the Fox News/Rasmussen poll taken 3 days after the NBC/Mason Dixon poll. It has McCain up by 6.

RCP Average 09/14 - 09/21 - 48.0 46.0 McCain +2.0

FOX News/Rasmussen 09/21 - 09/21 500 LV 51 46 McCain +5

NBC/Mason-Dixon 09/16 - 09/18 625 LV 45 47 Obama +2

Sun-Sentinel/R2000 09/15 - 09/18 600 LV 46 45 McCain +1

SurveyUSA 09/16 - 09/17 707 LV 51 45 McCain +6

Miami Herald/SP Times 09/14 - 09/17 800 LV 47 45 McCain +2

Well, it is not really happening. Whatever this poll measured, it measured last week. If the data was collected Tue-Thu last week, was wasn't the poll released last Friday?

It's stale.
