Obama under 50 is a winner for us.

If conventional wisdom about weekend polls is right, with Rasmussen, Zogby and Battleground showing tighening, things are getting real interesting!!

Not good news for That ONE!

Dear lord ....please elect John McCain our next president so our Country doesn't go to hell in "That one's" handout basket for the next two years.

McCain/Palin wins 54-46. Bank on it.

Ask yourself how many people you know, who are moderate Dems voting for McCain/Palin. I know at least 5. Now extrapolate across FR. Now extrapolate across the country. Toss in the fact that B. Hussein is getting 80% of his base, while Gore got 92%, and Kerry got 89% and both lost. Obama cannot win.

exactly!!!

my math stat friend at church gave me a long talk yesterday about polls....it was fascinating.

he said a few key things:

He mentioned a “tail” in Obamas poll numbers that could be troubling for Obama. He referred me to a real clear politics article that i will try and find.

He said that its important for McCain to get above 46% in some polling this week.

He said that when we see Obama under 50 at all its a troubling sign for him.

He said that those two benchmarks are more important than looking at who is in the “lead” in a national poll.

Within MOE, and within even the low 3% estimate the Obamaites seem to hold for the Bradley effect. I wonder how it translates state-by-state.

My theory has been that the McCain internals were “leading” what we see in public polls, both at that national and state levels, for weeks. Based on that, I think McCain is ahead in MO, NV, and CO; virtually safe in GA, NC, OH; tied in VA; and barely down in NH and IA; and still within reach of PA.

I wish the election would hurry up and get here. I need to know one way or the other. I never thought that I would be rooting for the liberal candidate over a full fledge communist for American president.

What makes this most important is that it was over a weekend. The Poll may have us up by the end of the week. Crazy Zogby who had BO up by 12 last week now has it at five with BO under 50%. I saw that his Sunday daily poll was BO 49 and McPalin at 46.

I agree, with the exception of IA.

McCain, dumba$$, should’ve followed Palin’s advice and fought for Michigan. I hope she continues her “rogue” behavior and drags him over the finish line.

Correct, and in most somewhat reliable polls, BO has dropped below 50% and McPalin is at 45-46. These numbers should continue through this week. Have you all noticed that Ras has once again increased the Dem split to over 7%!!! What is he thinking.

Yep, Palin is going to drag Yosemite Sam across the finish line.

This race is a dead heat........McCain will win if the polls say he’s statistically tied.

The last datapoint is using 10/20 thru 10/23 plus 10/26 (five days). 10/24 (Friday) and 10/25 (Saturday) are skipped. Were these good or bad days for McCain? Also 10/20 is going back to last Monday. Much has happened in the last 7 days.
