The overall number is secondary to what’s happening in the battleground states, and there things don’t look that swell, at least if you believe the polls. Not that that should dissuade anybody from exercising the franchise. I’ll probably be mailing in my vote tomorrow, not that it’s going to make much difference in California The Blue.
When you see a poll that says McCain is down by 10 points in a battleground state like Virginia — ask yourself how that jibes with a national poll that says he’s down by 4 points.
As erratic and unreliable as national polls are, state polls are even worse. If McCain get to 48 or 49% in popular vote, he wins. Period.
Remind your friends and neighbors in California that Barry went to Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years.

Then talk to your friends and co-workers who normally sit out, or feel it's hopeless.
Tell them, "If Obama's really 20 points up, then just vote for McCain-Palin for a lark. What harm can it do?"
(...or a as a futile gesture of self-validation of the will in the face of a meaningless universe. Given our opponent, Sartre's Nausea seems uniquely appropriate.)
Cheers!
He is moving up in the states if the national polls show him trending up...They normally do not reflect reality on the gorund until a week after the nationals...
Those are week-old polls. That was when Zog was saying it was 11 points nationally. So subtract 7 from Obama onll those stale state polls you're reading.
