That is not even factoring in the loss of a large part of Obama's base.

McCain will take Va by 5-7pts.

Good point. I think the polls this year do not represent the electorate for two main reasons.

First, the crossover vote is probably extremely under-represented. Since it’s not politically correct to vote against the “black” guy, Democrats who aren’t voting for him are almost certainly going to refuse to respond (or lie). Imagine if you were a registered Democrat and were one of the many crossovers. Would you admit you weren’t voting for him? You’re more likely to be called a racist than a Republican because as a Democrat you should agree with his policies more.

Second, the “refuse to respond” numbers are probably very high this year. Both Republicans and crossover Democrats are probably quite likely to refuse polls whereas proud Obama supporters will enthusiastically say they support their candidate.

Agree. ---- But only if Virginians continue to vote....even after the MSM calls Virginia based on the Northern VA fringe vote.

Please my Virginia friends.....VOTE until the polls close!!
