I know this because I’m not sitting on a sound set in DC, or in a phone bank in Deleware. PA is not going to go McCain, and the reasons PA is not going to go McCain is the same reason that the nation will not go McCain. The problems here are the same problems elsewhere.
Fauxbama has a statistical max at 47-48%, on his best day, with the wind at his back, that’s as high as he can possibly get. And Tuesday will not be his best day.
Pollsters have already admitted the “refuse to take poll” numbers are higher than they’ve ever had, this self exclusion affects polling in a big way, because pollsters cannot rely on their numbers if they are having significant people self censoring, they have no idea what that group represents.
PUMA’s are organized have been actively lying to pollsters throughout the election.
Unions have been intimidating members telling them to vote Fauxbama or else... You get some thug telling you this on the phone, a thug who knows your name, your address, your job, etc etc... You think you are going to tell the truth to any pollster from that point forward? Knowing full well it could be the union checking up on you?
The POLLS are off, way way off. They are oversampling dems, overstating democratic turnout, not taking into account all sorts of on the ground events, etc etc etc.
McCain is winning this thing folks, I don’t care what some twit on a sound stage with a bowtie and a passionate love of baseball says. If you think the pundents and MSM have a remote idea of the reality of this race, you need help. LOOK AT THE UNDECIDED... its 2 days to the election, do you really think there are that many truly undecideds?
The polls are horribly off this year, they aren’t remotely believable.
In our household my husband and I have both gotten to where here in the past couple of weeks we are refusing to talk to ANYONE who calls us about this thing. This is b/c you often cannot tell whether the caller is a bona fida pollster or some “faux” polling group sponsored by the Democrats.
And we are like a lot of the people this article talks about: we’re not necessarily wimps when it comes to talking about politics but these Obama people have been SO in-your-face for SO long, and they have SO much money to man these phone banks and so on, that it is downright unnerving, and yes, a bit scary. Americans are just not used to this sort of constant onslaught. This writer is correct: this is why so many people are refusing to talk to pollsters this year, and why these polls are so unreliable.
That should read PA is GOING MCCAIN.. not not go McCain.
