I just can’t believe this poll can be accurate. It always seems that the poll most accurate during a previous election is always the first one to go bad during a current one. I pray this one is wrong as well or we could start seeing the Marxist jubilation any time now.

Looks like a substantial win for Hussein. Everyone get out and vote and salvage the down ticket races.

Not to worry, they’ll find something to poll about.

..we shall see--the family of faith may have opportunity to test what they really believe...

On a personal level, the appearance of Sarah Palin on the world stage-- out of nowhere-- gave me a reason to think that the Lord wasn't finished with America--just my view on things...

There was never going to be a pre election poll showing a McCain lead. The narrative of a huge Democrat Voter ID edge has been written by the Axelrod and soaked up by sycophantic pollsters. It doesn’t exist, and there aren’t any statistics to prove that is exists.

For there to be absolute capitulation and destruction of the media and these ridiculous paid off pollsters, they all have to be on the wrong side of the ball. And they are.

FReepers, please help the Republican Party make calls and GOTV today. IF WE SHOW UP, WE WIN.

We are one step from the promised land. We just need to show up.

Always be skeptical about poll results. The real thing happens today, including the fraud by the obamaistas. Just go and vote for McCain.

The RNC and milquetoast McCain campaign have walked on eggshells not to offend the marxist quisling and his anti-American followers.

You simply must add the MSM to this mix. Honestly, never before have the MSM been so absolutely deceptive throughout this campaign. A guy like Obama should never have made it to the national level without the colusuion of the MSM. Have you seen today's USAToday? Look at the front page picture. See anything askew about the candidate's pictures? There you have it.

All is not lost, even with an Obama win, should the marxist pull it off.

Palin has been introduced to America. That is good.

Perhaps the GOP will see the folly of selecting a RINO to head the ticket. That is good.

I just think what a difference the debates would have been to see a Duncan Hunter stuffing Obama into his marxist piss bucket.

That is incorrect. Obama will lose the popular vote by at least 4%. McCain is running ahead of bush in bellweather areas of Ohio and Missouri by 2%+. Bush won both in 2004 by 2.5%. Similar to his popular vote total. 4.5%-5% MOV for McCain.

Watch at 5pm when the first exits leak and they show Obama Up 1 or 2 instead of 6 or 10. The look on Katie’s and Brian W.’s and Chrissy M’s face will be priceless.

Hunter would have been lucky to get 30% of the vote.

“Looks like TIPP allocated about half of the remaining undecideds, breaking 2 for 1 in favor of Obama.”

Pssssht!...Didn’t McCain’s internal show undecideds breaking 4 to 1 in favor of him?

Whatever McCain's internals, allocating 4% to BHO and 1.9% to JSM assumes a 2:1 reverse Bradley effect. Color me skeptical. Also skeptical about Barr and Nader winning 4.1%. Try about 0.4% each.

I'd look at the 47.5% BHO polls and remember what Rove and Morris said about him polling under 50%, which he is.

Someone explain to me how “assigning” undecided’s to a candidate is scientific?
