And they wouldn’t be sending Palin to Indiana to try to secure things, if McCain is up in all those states then he’s up double digits in Indiana.

You don't know why Palin is going to Ind.

Why is Obama going to PA if he has it sown up.

In fact, why is he going anywhere, based on the polls, he has all the EV's he needs.

Obama doesn't have PA sewn up. I am not arguing in any way that Obama has this election sewn up. I am arguing that the polling results cited in the original post are ridiculous garbage.

We shouldn't put our hopes in random anonymous phone calls to radio stations. We all would love for Obama to be 20 points behind right now, but he's not. McCain is trailing narrowly and hopefully the undecideds break his way so he can pull it out. But he's not running way ahead in Pennsylvania and all these other states. If he was, he wouldn't be hanging out there either.

Palin's time is a scarce resource (just as all the candidates' time is at this point). If she's being sent to Indiana it's because they are concerned about that state. That doesn't mean they're behind there, but that belies the notion that McCain is way ahead in a bunch of key states.
