These polls are designed specifically to discourage you. Not one polling outfit has "republicans" best interest at heart. Never forget that.
Also notice that Obama is running ads in states that he won handily in 2008, like WA state. He wouldn't be doing that for no reason.
Having said that, we should fight as though we ARE down by 5 points. Go the extra mile. Get mad. Get even. Play dirty.
Tell every democrat you know that they really don't need to "worry" because Obama "has it in the bag". They don't need to vote because it's "all taken care of". If they want to vote, make sure they come out heavily on November 7, the special "democrat's voting day".
"Also notice that Obama is running ads in states that he won handily in 2008, like WA state. He wouldn't be doing that for no reason."
Is that true? I saw somebody mention that on another thread, as well. Very interesting.
“Also notice that Obama is running ads in states that he won handily in 2008, like WA state.”
Obama is also running ads in CA. He’s worried about CA? That speaks louder than any polls.
