If it’s the polls that scare you...quit reading the polls.
We’re 5 weeks out, lots can happen.
Hillary, early on in the primary was written off (not great analogy because she did lose to 0), but my point is she was behind in some polls by 13 points in the NH primary, and she won it.
I don’t know whether to believe the polls or not, but I do know that during the primaries Barry overpolled, so I don’t put a lot of stock in them.
It’s up to McCain (and the Republicans) at this point. They have to stand up and make the Dems own their problems. So far, IMHO, everybody on our side has been too timid to call a spade a spade (and that’s not a racist remark, LOL.)
After all the skewed, flawed polling we’ve been seeing, this was refreshing. Not to mention, Obama had bought up some of McCain’s dropped ad slots. Perhaps it was a cheap dead cat bounce.
