I’m looking at the polls too. I see NH for McCain. McCain ahead in FL, VA and tied in PA.
What polls is this guy talking about?

Do you remember experience ever being mentioned when Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton ran for president?

I think pollsters are the newest members of the Democrat fraternity. They've always been in the tank, but now they've manufactured a big lead from nothingness. Yet anytime McCain leads, it is minimized.

That's my point. I can't remember it ever being an issue before. Strange that it should raise its head with the first female GOP VP candidate.

These polls seem full of media obfuscation. They obviously love socialism and love the bailout.

And he’ll get about as much publicity as another Larry, Larry Nichols did back in the nineties.

I think we throw all conventional wisdom aside in this election.
I've been saying this anyway.
The Bradley effect and oversampling of Dems in most polls have this whole thing skewed to where it seems like a horse race.
It isn't Obama's popularity that he is even in this race. It is Bush's and Republicans UNPOPULARITY.
Most of the electorate doesn't see McCain as Bush and as far as being a Republican, he is the 'Maverick' because that's what has been sold to them for the last decade.
People won't forget about Obambi's hate whitey church and his wife OBAMAROSA. They remember she isn't proud of her country. They can also see that Obama is in over his head and unqualified.
Obama hasn't run against McCain. He's run against Bush and now Palin, but not McCain. He's relied solely on MSM spin and blatant cover for his viability. But now that some people that never noticed the bias in the media (PUMA) now do, they are spreading the word and getting the truth for themselves.
McCain in Landslide. 7 point margin in the Popular vote, 342 to 196 in the Electoral College.

Was nothing but leaping and cartwheeling by the press when Ferraro was named.

I would take that in a second. Hope you are right. I live in Arizona and as stupid as the voters here have become, McCain is a lock.

Fox had a poll today that had Obama ahead by nine points on who is more trusted to handle the economy. That’s the crux of it, folks.
For some reason, the electorate has decided Obama, a spendthrift steal your money Democrat, is more equipped to handle this crisis - when his type got us into it in the first place. I gues we have to thank the MSM disinformation campaign for that.

I think Colorado is gone... McCain is down 5 points now according to real clear averages. And the numbers coming out of there look terrible for McCain.
We are going to have to pick off a blue state to win this thing, and New Hampshire wont be enough.

If the election stopped today, based on the polls, the score is 269-269. Someone pointed out that could result in an Obama-Palin administration. McCain certainly has got to hang on to what he’s got and try to wrest one of the following Colorado, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan. He’s been hurt badly by the economic crisis. If things get back to normal, his chances go way up.

This weeks news, will not be next weeks news.
Presidential elections are weird animals, you never know what will be important. Reagan was trailing Carter for the longest time.
To: Luke21
It is easy to dismiss polls I don’t like.
That said, I really think that only polls based on the turnout in 06 or 04 are very legitimate.
06 because it’s the latest national election year.
04 because it’s the latest national presidential election year.
I understand that most polls are inflating the number of democrats polled, and deflating the numbers of independents and republicans. I don’t know why, unless they really have reason to think that their new projected turnouts have a basis in reality.
Rasmussen has the most believable turnout ratios that I know of. Anyway with better info please post it.

Every poll shows something different. I think it is the media trying to create a horse race.
