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.

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.
