All I can draw on here are life experiences but there were polls showing Gore up about 10 at this point in 2000 and Kerry leading by 7. Usually I add 7-10 to a republican in any poll but this year the drive bys are simply showing no restraint. When we win...and we will win we need to start boycotts of industries that advertise on the MSM and I mean HARD—they need to be taught a lesson.

Bill Kristol looks down puzzlingly at this poll from his Ivory Tower.

It really doesn’t matter if YOU get tired of Drudge’s tabloid style. The fact is that Drudge sets the news cycle in this country and even the MSM admits it.

“This is using their “traditional likely voter model” whatever that means. I guess they have a “new” likely voter model?This is using their “traditional likely voter model” whatever that means. I guess they have a “new” likely voter model?”

Their traditional poll of likely voters is the one that is the most accurate. In 2004 this poll had it correct with Bush Kerry, while their tracking poll had it wrong.

I remember Susan Estrich once saying that October is “a Republican month”.

"Well, well, well. I might just watch the MSM tonight to see if they ignore this or try to spin it."

Mmm hmmm. CNN right now says McCain's poll numbers "slipping." They'll never acknowledge this or any poll that doesn't show him double digits behind.

I think the RISK of an Obama presidency has the markets trembling. They are not enthusiastic for O’Messiah.

If/When McCain wins, will we see the ‘America is racist’ cry from the media like we heard the ‘Bush stole the election’ crap?

Do bears **** in the woods?

Bill Kristol has not back stabbed conservatives in the same way that Peggy Noonan did but your “Ivory Tower” analogy is pretty much correct. I know he will be on my sh*t list for quite a long while (along with the rest of the FOX panel).

there is a different feeling in the air.

I am pumped. I am really starting to believe. I feel it. We have the momentum now.

Fox news is all about taking money from conservatives. There was a void in the market and they’re filling it. But make no mistake, Fox News is NOT pro Republican. The only one on there that is is Hannity and Huckabee. The rest are as liberal as they come, but playing to their conservative audience when they can stomach it.
