Pollsters and MSM = Al Qaeda operatives. With these scum, who needs foreign enemies.

These pollsters are all FOS. None of them are factoring in voter fraud by the ACORNS and Obamacorns.

This is a horse race, none of us should worry about that. What we should worry about is getting out the vote. Even my friend’s wife who is from China and can not yet vote understands that Obama lies.

Do they REALLY believe the Dem turnout numbers?

Frankly, I am just sick of the near constant polling. Enough of this constant statistical diarrhea.

“...“reputations” are at stake....”

I think these reputations were lost months ago. Whatever happens, the pollsters have been exposed as agents of the Left. They have been doing their share in the propaganda war. When McCain wins these folks will pay a big price professionally. Who can trust biased pollsters?

Who pays pollsters anyway? Do they sell crappy results to the MSM? Where do they get operating funds? If they are so ridiculously wrong each election, why do people continue to buy their wares?

IIRC some of them got threatened by KOmmies for using too low turnout percentages. I think Battleground was one, not sure.

They don’t have a choice except to believe it.

“Do they REALLY believe the Dem turnout numbers?

Just because Dems are turning out doesn't mean they are voting for Obama. I think the methodology being used is seriously flawed.

They ignore the PUMAs completely. I'd say their modeling this year leaves a lot to be desired. They never tracked the course of the primaries accurately and with the general election its been a constant hit and miss. A Ouija board is far more accurate than the polls.

"Pollsters are becoming punchy as the presidential race tightens...

The polls are only "tightening" because the pollsters are tweaking their numbers closer to reality each day.

I doubt they'll admit to the true numbers, even on election day. They're as in the tank for Obama as the MSM (Marxist Socialist Media).

Call me crazy but I have a sneaking feeling that conervatives will be out in full force this election. This in my mind is the first time the SCOTUS is truly up for grabs and that is all us conservatives care about. When I say out in full force I mean out even more than they were for Bush! Joe Scarborough hinted at this yesterday when he said in 04 there was a line around the polling place in pouring rain, and they were singing hymns waiting to vote. I suspect these people are laying in the weeds waiting to drag Johnny Mac across the finish line. With so many unknown variables in this election I dont think you can trust anything until Nov. 5th or 19th or Dec. 1st or........

Pollsters already have their excuse for missing the outcome - RACISM. They are covered either way. I do think they will attempt to put the race within the margin of error by Monday.

The court is THE central issue in this election. Obama and the left understand this.

Whoever appoints the next court controls the direction of the United States for the next 20 to 30 years. This is the end game. If we lose, the conservative movement in the US dies. It will take 30 years to get back to where we are today, and that will take another Reagan like revolution.

PUMAs are the wildcard. Are they for real, or just hype?

Show us what you got PUMAs! Country First...
