However, your use of the word crap in reaction to the possibility that these numbers might have some merit for consideration at some level was offensive... After all what makes any of these numbers any more crap than those numbers that we are being fed by the worthless pollsters through the MSM every day, day in day out?
In response to your request that I defend these numbers, let me start with California, the real Obamaland:
CA O - 44, M - 43, Barr - 3, U - 9

10/28/08 - “California has begun early voting already as well as mail-in balloting. The number of people who have gone in to vote in person has been extensive. The results so far prove what we had always suspected. The polls are being proven as totally unreliable. Although the results of early balloting have not been disclosed,of course,how many Republicans and how many Democrats have voted has been revealed.
The results are simply shocking. The polls showed Barack Obama with an 18 point lead in California just a few days ago. The results thus far are the complete opposite. In the most liberal state in the entire country,the results are that 99,000 Republicans have voted and 96,000 Democrats voted. In the mail-in balloting the results so far are that 9,000 Democrats sent in their ballots and that 5,000 Republicans did so. So with nearly 210,000 people having voted,the Democrats have only a 1,000 vote advantage!”
I believe that this is one “example” that easily supports an Obama 44 / McCain 43 possiblity in CA instead of what the pollsters are reporting at Obama +18. Would you not agree?
In my next post to you, I'll give you some more information to aid in your digestion of some of these other numbers. These numbers may not be the end all numbers, but I am not prepared to dismiss them as crap without further investigation.
I have been predicting here that McCain is going to win and win big for a long time... and I've never had a problem with answering a call to support that prediction if ever it comes up.

You can’t put in too much stock on those things. In NC registered Dems outvoted R’s more than two to one in the first week of early voting. I don’t think anyone thinks the Dems are winning NC two to one.
