Obama moving into electoral lead
Politico ^ | 9/24/08 | Mike Allen

State by state, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill). is showing signs of breaking open a presidential race that looked deadlocked through much of September.

A new wave of polls released Wednesday showed decisive leads for Obama in the critical states of Colorado, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

That follows noticeable progress in polls in Virginia, which had looked safe for Sen. John McCain, and Florida, which had looked promising for McCain.

This is the first time that one of the candidates has dominated state polls in the most closely contested battlegrounds.

Republican strategist Karl Rove had predicted this tectonic shift, writing at Rove.com earlier this week: "[I]f the movement toward Obama in national polls continue to percolate down to the states, we could see an Obama lead later this week."

Polls are a propaganda tool used by the leftists to try to stampede the herd. We go through this every election, where the rat always leads the republican. Anyone remember President Mondale’s great electoral sweep in 1984?

Thought so...

The only real problem is that early voting has already started. It is projected that more than a third of the vote will be cast before election day. The debates will have less of an impact.

McCain in Landslide. 7 point margin in the Popular vote, 342 to 196 in the Electoral College.

Amen.

Do you answer polls honestly? Many don’t! And what was the sample of people polled—number/political affiliation? This is why polls are so dangerous they discourage you and you spread to others that we are defeated —based on what. Fox has not always been so fair and balanced recently.

Check the link in #18. It isn’t Nov 4th!

Polls and the MSM the same — arrogant and deceitful.
Remember “Dewey Wins”?

Larry hitting MSM.

I sure hope so - how the heck do we make it happen? The media is in the tank for the socialists.
