“McCain can flip it to +2 for McCain.”

Not only that, but 2 is within the margin of error. It’s possible that McCain is already ahead with likely voters.

We need to concentrate on the battleground states for a win.

“Lets hope Americans are finally waking up and are not ready to put an inexperienced Socialist into office in these very troubling times.”

And we can help make that happen by talking to everyone we know, contacting our e-mail lists, contributing to McCain/Palin’s campagain, calling talk shows, writing letters to editors, and/or VOLUNTEERING.

You know, there WAS a time that I would have considered your comment to be just plain paranoid.
After reading how Obama’s goons are operating BEFORE the election, how they’ve gone after poor “Joe the plumber,” I now consider your plan of defense to be right on target.
I live about 10 miles from a city and I too plan to stock up on food.

You know his minions will riot whether he WINS OR LOSES.

We know the pubbie ralleys are over subscribed. But I can’t get a feel for what’s happening with the Marxist Onada and Biden ralleys. What kind of attendance are they getting?

Because Ubie’s paying for them! Also why they are running ads on Fox News Channel, etc.

You’d think with all the millions of $$$$$$$ he’s raised so far, that Ubama would DONATE a vast majority of it to poor people, ACORN, etc. instead of spending it on commercials. Just make one serious commercial, just Ubie sitting down with America, face to face, pointing out his strong points and policies—hey, that’s an idea! Instead of wasting all this money on ads, the candidates should be required instead to have a one hour infomercial on some cable channel that is repeated ad nauseum for two years before elections—give the rest of the money to poor folks instead!

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

And we still have over 2 weeks. McCain can flip it to +2 for McCain. If he can, he’ll win handily.

I don't think he can flip it to plus two or plus anything in any pre election poll. Such isn't their gig.

There is only one poll that counts. In that one, McCain needs enough votes to overcome all the fraud and the push by the MSM AND his own lackluster efforts of the last decade.

“Reflecting Monday’s stock market rise?”

heck no.
Just pollsters trying to justify their jobs and their imaginary importance by inventing shifts in voters’ opinions based on manipulation of statistics.

Obama never was way ahead - he probably was never ahead period.

Pollsters knew they could’t keep up the facade until election day, so now they’re inventing this fake “tightening”.

Hopefully this election will teach everyone to ignore polls from now on.

Looks like Gallup is trying to save their career come election day rather then have to spend 4 years explaining why they were wrong. - Exactly!

We can also make phone calls for McCain. Visit his website for info. They are asking for 20 phone calls on a Saturday in the state of your choice.

I’m going to pick one of the battleground states.
