When he loses - the Clintons will be there Roman style with the long knives like Caesar got.

“Et Tu Hillary, Bill, PUMAs & Joe the Plumber?” My guess is Bill will twist his knife.

How can McCain be ahead in Ohio but behind in Virginia and North Carolina?

ACORN and the Brunner fiasco have people fired up in Ohio. People I talk to see this as an embarrassment to the state. These are issues that the undecideds are picking up on.

Good! I am tired of the Media’s “inevitability” chant.

Actually, Rasmussen’s state polls were very accurate in 2004.

VA polls seem to underpoll Republicans though. Most 2004 polls had Kerry within a few points of Bush, but W won by 9.

The only ads we see in NW Indiana are Obama ads. No McCain or 527 ads.

"When I asked why not PA got told he has a lot of staff there but Rendel doesn’t like Obama so I took it with a grain of salt."

What in the world does that mean? Can you explain a lot further? Does that mean Ozero is polling low in PA? What do you mean?

Someone posted a ranking of pollsters for elections and Rasmussen was pretty far down on the list.

If you want to believe McCain is down ten points in VA like Rasmussen reports, then go ahead.

Florida should be fine. Kerry was a much stronger canadidate. Obama got trashed by Hillary in the FL primary.

Wexler was trying to shill for Obama months ago to elderly Jewish voters months ago at the condos in S FL and half of them boo’ed Wexler. He ha dbeen like their long lost grandson.

A lot of these oldsters/hard core libs, because of FDR, would vote for Arafat if he had a D after his name. I think many will vote McCain. Most people in Israel are horrified that the U.S. is even considering Obama aka friend of Hamas & Farrakhan.

Polls estimates were Kerry getting 77% of the Jewish vote versus 57% for Obama. My guess Obama will get maybe 51%. Blue Dog southern Dems in N FL will not be voting for Obama.

Please explain your comment regarding hearing word from Hillary’s camp about Obama relocating to WI and MN from Ohio.

Don’t understand the last sentence: Of the 18% undecided, 14% support Mac, while 16% lean O? That’s 30%, unless it’s 14% of the 18%....As Ohio goes, so will most of the Midwest...FYI: I think undecideds traditionally break Republican....

Rasmussen needs to find another line of work. His numbers do not compute and they are so erratic as to defy anything natural. The internals are so off when it comes to the voting patterns RECENTLY for white men, they are just a real knee slapping joke.

Actually, I wonder if all the African Americans who say they will vote for him actually will. It would be very, very hard to be black and say publicly that you’re voting for McCain, but some might just do that in private.

I believe they will. I work with a black man who committed a robbery when he was young and did some felony time in prison. I've known about this for several years, but he was so ashamed of his past behavior, he never spoke of it. He told me the other day that he applied for the reinstatement of his voting rights (apparently in Texas you have to make some sort of application) just so he could vote for Obama. For a black man in his 50's to go to this amount of trouble to vote for the first time in his life, I have to believe that most blacks are feeling this same sort of pride in a black man being President. They will never question the character of the man.

I don’t believe McCain is down 10 in VA. As I said, for some reason VA polls seem to overstate the democrat vote. I would add 5 or 6 points to McCain’s number in any VA poll.

I still expect McCain to win VA.

Rasmussen did very well in 2004, though.
If you go to www.electoral-vote.com and click on this day in 2004 and click on a state you will get graphs showing how all the pollsters did vs. the actual results.

From what I remember, Ras naied all the swing states, except maybe one. Generally his margins were very close to the actual margins.
