Bob, there is only one poll that counts. This is speculation and confusion.

“...It's psy-ops...”

BINGO! I believe Obama’s internals are sagging, if not crumbling right now. His frantic attacks on the alleged underdog suggest he's still running scared. These attacks make Obama look mean and dangerous. Watch the polls this week. Lots of scrambling to “preserve” his lead. The spin should get intense.

We need to keep working hard at local McCain campaign offices. Better to make calls, etc. than sit here and worry.

Thanks!

I was talking to a coworker about this the other day. Between operation chaos and PUMAs on our side, and ACORN et al on the other, there’s no telling what the actual state of this election is.

I was thinking the same thing the other day. The intangibles in this campaign must be giving even the best pollsters fits. The old models may still apply, then again they may not! Must be a challenging time to be a polster.
