perhaps this is advantage Obama, as one theory has it that pollsters, who only use land lines to place their polling calls, are missing a lot of Obama's younger, cell-phone-only supporters.

The parallels aren't really there for that either IMO.

Clinton was a relatively popular incumbent. He held a commanding lead over Dole for almost the enitre election. IIRC, the only time Dole got as close as McCain is right now was immediately after the GOP convention.

Even at that, Clinton underperformed his poll numbers. Virtually every pollster had him comfortably above 50%, and as we all know, he actually finished below that mark.

LOL.

Pure coincidence that this comes out when McCain evens it up in the polls...what a tool.

During the primaries the MSM always said that Obama polled higher than reality because of the Bradley effect. Now they are saying he is actually higher than the polls.
