Most undecided/swing voters know jack about polling “internals”. As far as they are concerned, Obama is comfortably in the lead. Obama’s press secretaries, also known as the MSM, will see to it.

All the better for us. The mush brained folks who can’t figure it out are the people that zero is counting on.

And most undecideds don't decide based on polls. They really don't. Ads may make a difference, but usually it's "impresions" of what the candidate can or will do. Every election since 1992, the polls have had the Republican losing. Yes, Bush and Dole lost---but by far, far less than what the polls predicted. Bush won and won, again despite being predicted as a Gore and Kerry win. So it's pretty obvious that because the pollsters seem to be of the same intelligentsia class that provides the "news," they begin with certain assumptions of what the electorate should "look like." Except it doesn't.

One study of the polls in 1996 found that every one of them was wrong, but all in the same direction and that for such a thing to happen, the odds were 290,000 to one.
