Yours may be the most accurate poll of the bunch!

I would just go to your county courthouse and run a search on Foreclosure deed filings by date and zip code of the property address. Lexis/Nexis would probably be able to provide similar info. Another product is called ListSource and it is sold through First American Title out of California.

One last thing:

I can’t wait to hear the story on election day when someone goes to David Axelrod and Says, “Sir, let me be the first to call you, Bob Shrum.”

“Lets push to get polls out of our politics once and for all.”

We can’t ban them but we could neutralize them with a public strategy destined to render them moot. I will discuss a strategy on Free Republic several days after the election.

Have there been, overall, any changes to the “special sauce” since 2004? I seem to recall that Kerry never really ever lead in the polls back then, and he lost decisively, though not in a landslide. I’m sure they’re always making assumptions about turnout. The early voting line yesterday here in NC was about a block long, and it looked like a big number of people there looked like the types that the Democrat machine recruits. McCain has struggling for a long time, and we’re counting on a last minute surge. The surge looks genuine, but the extreme lateness of it is going to hurt us. Optimism is good, but votes are better, and things get really hairy after the election.

I’d say the Obama “landslide” talk is bullcrap, but Democrats are going to make major gains, and no one on our side is denying that. It’s a question of really bad or worst case scenario. Vote.

Maybe. But I wouldn't be worried too much if I lived outside of any of the DemoRAT Urban hell holes. If you do reside in one, perhaps a mini vacation might be in order. Rioters in flyover country might be rudely awakened.

On the African American censue: 36,000,000 total, about 20,000,000 eligible to vote, times 95% for O, = 19,000,000 votes, Kerry got 88%, or around 17,000,000, so O will get about 2,000,000 additional, add in another 1,000,000 in fraud for this group, still less than the PUMAs....

Why can we not ban them? What protection does a poll have that any business in America does not have? A shoe factory can be shut down by a city council by merely pulling the business license. We take their license to do business. We force FCC to fine media outlets millions every time they violate an edict against using polls as news. We slap fines on polls for being wrong, we file lawsuits against them when they are wrong, there must be dozens and dozens of ways to stop them.

Neutralizing, is also a good idea, but I would say that is for the short term. Long term goal: Ban the polls.

I see you're from Merlin--I used to live there, too. I've lived in several states and am now in the mountainous south.

I have NEVER lived in a state as racist as Merlin. It was startling. And it was the first state I ever felt uneasy when a young black guy got in the elevator with me, so much resentment he radiated. It is not a feeling I ever had, ever, in a city in the South.

Hard to believe.

Well, unfortunately, farmers in IOWA will probably vote for Obama. They are getting fat from payouts and subsidies on corn for Ethanol. It remains to be seen if enough of them have any ethics beyond their pocketbook. I hope enough of them realize that their wallets being fattened by those subsidies, are going to be picked clean by the DemoRATs after the elections.
It should be a no-brainer in this election if you honestly look at the root causes behind the economy and energy crisis, you'll see nothing but DemoRAT fingerprints. But don't worry, Obama’s going to fill my gas tank, and Obamas going to pay my mortgage.

An aging, insecure male chimpanzee, when challenged by a young contender, hoots, howls and grimaces. The more he's out-muscled, the bigger the bravado, the "braver" the show. But when the real fight starts, all you will see is the old guy's hairy back.

No problem. Beat your chests. Here's my challenge. I promise that I'll return to this thread on Nov. 5th to review your predictions. If you are correct, I will admit the brilliance of your logic. Anyone promise to join me? Or can we look forward to the sight of your hairy backs?

I’m in western Merlin.

It’s a different world out here.

Where were you?
Near DC/Balto?

It gets iffier the further east I go.

East of Montgomery county, I get a bit twitchy about being too friendly to strangers.

The MD Republicans are nice people.

The MD Dems are still either fighting the civil war or trying to start a new one.
