We’ll just see about that. The REAL poll is on November 4.

"You are more likely to be killed by a meteor dropping on your head than McCain becoming president," said Professor Michael McDonald, who specialises in polls and election number-crunching at Virginia's George Mason University.

Ahem, Professor. You have seriously miscalulated the degree of racism in the USA. Obama doesn't have a prayer, regardless of what you think in your ivory tower. I stress ivory.

The internals necessary to support a 14 point lead just simply are NOT there. The poll is a blatant lie.

exactly... if he had a 14 point advantage, PA, VA, FL, OH, NC, NV would be off the table... he would be up more than 8 points in NJ... he would be up more than 2 in PA... think of the Pygmalion Effect... only in the opposite direction...

The only polls that matter are the campaign’s internal polls.

The public polls are for entertanment purposes only.

>>You want to know the last time a democrat got over 50% of the vote in a 2 way race? Carter in 1976 when he got 50.1% after blowing a 30 point lead. And had Ford not gaffed in the debate, Carter would have lost.<<

Yes but the stock market didn’t crash until after Carter was elected. It’s not McCain’s fault but it’s his political albatross.

This has been such a strange election, I won’t be surprised if something unexpected occurs.

Actually, I thought that overall, Ford won that debate, but perception was different, thanks to you-know-who.

It is already happening. The weight of the scandals on Hussein are mounting and working.

1. Daily reports of voter fraud by ACORN
2. William Ayers is sticking
3. Rezcko is beginning to stick
4. Laysuits about his citizenship and whether his DQ’ed from being POTUS
5. His economic policies don’t make sence (i.e. Socalist)
6. This world is dangerous and he has ties with terrorists
7. Radical stance on abortion
8. Odinga story will stick since 1-7 are.

These are all adding up. I noticed it beginning around this weekend. The weight is beginning to be felt by Hussein. Day by Day. It will cause most people to question Hussein.

IMO the “Whitey” tape will be released by a 527 group in about 10 days. That will most certainly bring out ALL conservatives, republicans, rinos, independents, PUMA’s and turn-off dems out against Hussein. You don’t have to worry about the MSM suppressing our vote then.

If they really believe this (which they dont) there will be quite a few befuddled pollsters drooling on themselves as they jump out windows after the election.

Obama is going to loose, they know it but then again the libs never loose do they? The republicans always steal it from them in some way.

The view from the hard left.

If they're happy with it, so am I. Charlie Brown is starting to believe this time he gets to kick the ball.

>>When an Obamabot came to my door and asked who I was voting for I said Obama. I shut the door and laughed. Fools<<

When I said I would not vote for BO, they said, “We didn’t know you were a Republican. Sorry to bother you.” I replied that I wasn’t a R, meaning that the R had gone too far left for me, but they probably thought that meant something else.

This will be a blessing in disguise for us. Now, Sarah will pump up the crowd to come out and vote. The liberals and students on the coasts will go to sleep thinking it is already over. That will make the difference. McPalin are “comeback kids”
