I am so happy to read this thread. I believe polls, but they have to be weighted properly. I think they should weight each state based on the actual turnout either in 2004 or 2006 to be credible.

That's often what they do (if they're polling a particular state). But to use 2006 (an off-Presidential year) is a problem, especially when it was such an anti-GOP year. Since Palin has been put on the ticket, I've been convinced the GOP turnout will resemble 2004.
