Like I said before, I hope you are right. While I agree that there are a number of dems that won’t be voting for Obama, I don’t know why none of the polls seem to reflect any real lack of support for him... Even McCain’s camp seems like they are playing from behind (spending lots of time in red states like FL, VA, OH, NC while, pulling out of MI, etc...)

I have always been upfront with my position on polls in here. I take NO single poll as gospel but instead I like to look at a basket of polls and monitor the direction in them. The thing that bothers me about these in particular is that Strategic Vision usually errors on the side of repubulicans (ie best case scenerio). In the past they’ve always shown the republican candidate as having some states in play that weren’t really in play at all (PA, MI, CA, etc..). If they are still erring towards repubs, are these polls best case according to them?

President Bush campaigned very hard in all these states in 2004 and all the way till the last day. Let us reverse it and ask why is Obama campaigning hard in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Minnesota f he is really that far ahead according to these polls.

Anyway, I am going to keep my spirit up and work hard on a McCain victory and I hope we all do the same. Always remember President Kerry and President Gore according to the media polls and the exit polls.

Obama will be also the winner of the exit polls but he will suffer the same fate of Kerry and Gore, defeat.
