I like to keep track of polls like this.
For instance, I’m volunteering to make calls for McCain/Palin, and a woman (and her husband) who enthusiastically voted already for McCain/Palin was discouraged that Obama was ahead. And John McCain is a war hero, she said!
I was able to tell her that the polls are tightening. I also told her that since she lives in a battleground state, do what she can, including talking with everyone she knows and calling a talk show.
Tell them to vote for the hero and the hottie!
