This race is a pure toss-up or if any likely a small lead for Obama -

Regarding polling (we all know what the MSM does...uses polls to push poll voters and to discourage Republicans)....That said it looks like we are starting to relive 06....where everyone kept saying ignore the polls (special sauce, etc, etc)....and that is not how it turned out.

Reality is not all the polls can be wrong....Which means this is a close race with Obama likely having a slight lead. We either find ways to convince more people over the next 4 days or we lose. Make sure you bring everyone you can to the voting booths, make sure you talk with family and friends about the seriousness of this election.....

Or like 2004, where we said the same thing and turned out to be right. Or like 2000, when people were told to ignore polls that showed Bush significantly ahead and it turned out to be good advice.

Why not? A few weeks ago these fools were telling me that McCain was losing men by 14 points, when Dole (who lost by 9 points in the popular vote and was buried in an electoral landslide) won men by significant margins. A couple of weeks ago these people were telling us that Obama was winning West Virginia by 8 points! You really think they couldn't be wrong? In 2004 there were people telling us there was NO WAY the exit polls showing a Kerry landslide could be wrong, because they were all so scientific and getting the same results.

Sure, we need to work hard, and not even for a moment think we have this locked up, but the bottom line is these polls are a steaming pile of crap and I will stand by that even if Obama wins.
