You mean like the October polls that had Bush up over Gore by 6 to 8 points? Or the October polls that had Clinton leading Dole by 24 points? Or those October polls that had Reagan and Carter “too close to call”? Or those October polls showing Carter with huge leads over Fords. Same for Nixon over Humphrey?

As I said--pick and choose if you want to. I'm interested in reality, and if you really think McCain is ahead, or gaining strength, go right ahead. I'm not interested in changing anyone's mind who just wants to live in a dream world.

I've noticed that when the "it's over" crowd is called out, they tend to get quite angry and defensive.

The fact is so simple. It's not "over" until the last polls close on November 4th and yet, there are quite a few declaring it "over" a month in advance.

Gotta wonder about the motive there. Will they be gloating if The One should win this? ;-)
