Let them rave on that men shall know them mad.....
I am becoming discouraged.
This morning (or maybe yesterday) it had McCain winning in four states. I guess we will go back and forth until election day.
Three of those four are blue states. The fact that McCain is competing in them is a good sign.
On average Quinnipiac state polls right before the election were nearly 10 points off, despite having stated MOE much much lower. Polls at this point are interesting, but not all that informative.
Yeah, right. I think they’re trying too hard.
The others are lost causes. Bush came close in WI but a close loss is still a total loss in terms of the Electoral College. MN is always a teaser. It looks competitive at first but always comes home to the 'Rats in the end. Kinda like NJ in that sense. Looks like we have a chance but it ends up being true blue 'Ratland.
Did they vote in those states already?
‘Minnesota voters also chose Obama over McCain, 52% to 39%. Obama’s 17-point lead is the biggest among the four states...’
Where I come from, 52-39=13.
This election is all about image and emotion, not issues. Obama can get up and say, "I'll raise your taxes, I'll reduce your standard of living, and I'll make us less safe" and all people will hear is "Hope! Change!"
No need to read further.
With the exception of Colorado, Kerry took all those states 4 years ago so the fact that they are still in the Democratic camp is not surprisng. If McCain keeps what the GOP won in 2004 then they win again. If he picks up Pennsylvania, not impossible, then losing smaller states like Colorado or Nevada won’t make a difference.
With the exception of Colorado, these states have been reliably Dim for some time now. It’s hard to believe that they have moved from Liberalism to outright Socialism though.
Polls are pretty much meaningless at this point, but McCain will get trounced for the simple reason conservatives won’t vote for him.
Quinnipiac polls aren't worth the electrons it takes to post them. Their absolute numbers are awful (huge liberal bias to their samples) -- only relative movement between samples in any way can be useful.
Just wait until election night when the DBM will project Obama as the winner in all the eastern states, in attempt to influence the western states’ voters.
Wait until people find out how much Obama will raise their taxes.
If I were John McCain, I’d set up a website where people could enter their income and deductions and so forth and see how much their taxes would rise under Obama.
That’s a free tip, Senator McCain.
If McCain was leading by as little a margin as they claim Obama is, the headline would read “McCain Narrowly Leads Obama in Swing States.”
Not that I am saying to get complacent, but what I am hearing on the ground and friends is completely different than what these over-inflated polls and the drive-by media is stating. On the ground and through the grape-vine, in New York, they are not voting for the fox that wears many faces./Just Asking - seoul62.........
