this weekend i have heard nonstop how the McCain/Palin campaign is off the tracks and sooo far behind... it's complete crap as the polls do not factor in historical turnout. and that is before you factor in something new.. race.
the polling numbers assume that those polled will be voting. historically, dems have a lousy turnout compared to their registered number. also, independents normally side with republicans.
personally, i am anticipating a landslide for McCain/Palin
Another thing to keep in mind: Democrats have a real hard time breaking 50% in presidential elections in the modern era. The #1 most liberal senator, 0 experience doing anything other than running for president. Pals around with terrorists. Oh yeah, and as he just loves pointing out, he doesn’t look like the guys on the paper money.
