Yah, but my point is the ALL the polls are screwed this season. I'm simply not seeing it on the ground. Realize, I'm in THE contested county of Ohio---Bush barely lost it, lost it bigger in 2000. I'm seeing NO signs of a Strickland/Brown surge. Quite the contrary, all the momentum seems to be with DeWine and Blackwell.

I'm talking to pollsters and strategists in PA and they are seeing the same thing. So these pollsters like Ras and Mason-Dixon this time around are missing something big. I don't know why, but I'm here to tell you they ain't gettin' it. For most of the polls, whatever they say, I do a 10% adjustment: take the Dem down 5% and move the Republican up 5%. But some polls are so silly that even that adjustment doesn't give you an accurate number.

This will probably be a very low turnout election. Whenever there is a lot of mudslinging (a la Foley), the non-aligned voters get turned off and often don't bother to vote at all.

Look for the Dems to pull some last minute race-baiting to try and help with black turnout.
