We shall see what the final outcome is.
I still find it hard to believe, based on fairly extensive anecdotal data (I travel all over the country on business) that Obama is ahead.
In 2008 when I was doing the same travels, I could hardly get any body in SFO or NYC or ORD to even acknowledge the Republican ticket
Now, those very same people say that they will never vote for Obama.
We shall see....maybe they are lying.. maybe the pollsters are lying.. maybe my gut is lying.. maybe I have accidently moved to a Bizzaro Universe where someone actually believes Obama
Demographically the country is changing beneath you. Most producers won't see it till its too late. There are far more bottom feeders and non producers now. For every normal, productive person that swings away from Obama, there is 1.1+ young minorities who don't work and love what Hussein is selling (freebies).
My guess is we crossed the point of no return last election cycle. We may have a chance this time out, but I have my doubts. The mystery of the "skewed" polls resolves itself when you think about what I said about demographics. More white people than ever (particularly white men) will be voting for the Republican ticket - and it still won't be enough. We've basically already lost the country.
In Sept 2000 Gore was up by 12 points over Bush according to the polls. Believe them at your own peril.
