How about the screwing obama gave to the HIllary voters in the caucus? A bit of PUMA payback there.

And he didn't even kiss her. PUMA payback is going to be a bitch for bambi. I will be visiting the PUMA sites after the election for a contact shadenfreude.

From the Blogosphere....Strata Sphere:

Another Poll Shocker - Obama Loses 2/3rds Of His Lead In One Week

************************EXCERPT*********************

Published by AJStrata at 1:16 pm under 2008 Elections, All General Discussions

The race is clearly tightening, according to another new national poll out today:

As the candidates make their closing arguments before the election, the race has tightened with Barack Obama now leading John McCain by 47 percent to 44 percent among likely voters, according to a FOX News poll released Thursday. Last week Obama led by 49-40 percent among likely voters.

I wouldn’t doubt it to scare senior citizens. I think the large population of college students and it has always been pretty much Dem hasn’t it? I don’t think McCain is advertising much in WI and has given up that state...

I know when we have local elections, even statewide elections, certain parishes (I live in Louisiana)report earlier than others, and they usually favor one candidate over another. At first, it looks like that candidate is going to run away with the election, despite what the polls had been saying. But when the other parishes begin reporting in later in the evening, the race usually tightens and goes for the other candidate who was expected to win. I suspect that this may be going on now. Maybe the early voters are McCain voters because they have to actually go to work on the weekdays and are voting on the weekends. Not scientific, just a guess.

Again from SS Blog:P> Huge Democrat Turn Out In Florida Turns Into Huge McCain-Palin Gains - UPDATED!

***********************EXCERPT**********************

Update: For those interested in an expert opinion on early voting and polling drop by DJ Drummond today - end update

If early voting in Florida is any indication what will happen across this country come next Tuesday (and there is little reason to assume it will be some crazy outlier well outside the norm) then Obama and the Dems are going to be getting a lesson from the American voters.

Picked this up from a comment on SS :

Great Merciful Zeus! PUMAs are winning Florida for John McCain!

***********************EXCERPT Intro*****************

NOTE: The below comes from one of the smartest two blogs out there for insight on polls (the other being Wizbang). Things have been unraveling for Obama since early voting began — just like in the primaries, Obama’s alleged advantage amongst his “youth army”, blacks, and yuppies is not turning up in the early vote “tidal wave” he was supposed to have. Obama spent TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars trying to drive early votes to him, but it’s not happening.

And from the mentioned WhizBang Blog:

McCain Up in Florida Early Voting Poll

God Bless the PUMAs.

I was wondering how many there were out there.

This is about to get very very interesting.

One thing is for sure, the major networks are reaping in the big bucks from the world contributions to the Nairobi Kid.
And how many TV viewers will take McCain's add seriously about his opponent going back on his word to just accept public funding. The die has been cast. The frenzy will crest in five days.

The PUMA’s are about 40 percent of the dem vote. If this holds Obama will be left with 30 percent of the whole vote.
