“Hopefully by posting on FreeRepublic at least it stops us from having a heart attack today! Oh, and it should assure all of us that we are correct in the TRUE picture of this election...not one cooked by MSM.”

Must ever bear in mind that
most polls harbor 4 systematic flaws:
1. Overweighting Party ID;
2. RVs not as reliable as LVs;
3. Respondents not wanting pollsters to think they’re “racist” (Bradley effect);
4. Non-citizens ... multiple voters ... and the dead are not polled - but do vote.
Each might account for a 2 to 4 point swing.
Only the last one favors Dems.
Therefore, add anywhere from 4 to 8 points for McPalin
to get a truer reading.
Is this why Rush has been saying that Obama must lead by 10 in the polls in order to win?
