Black said he had seen a poll recently that showed McCain tied in the Philadelphia suburbs, a crucial swing region of the state.

Regardless, just get out and vote!

Agreed. McCain will hold all the states Bush won in 2004 and pick up NH and PA.

My expectation is that we’re actually going to know pretty early on Tuesday evening who the next president will be. Pennsylvania is on EST, so its outcome should be known by 9 or 10 pm, I’m thinking. If McCain wins PA, then it is to me an obvious sign that he is winning the whole thing. If not, the race isn’t lost without it (Dubya never won PA), but it means I’ll be up a while later.

Is Black basing his comments on internal numbers or only on optimism?

[kc8ukw]

What’s up with all this internal polling, anyways? Do they not trust any polling agency?

From his lips to God’s and the voters’ ears and fingers on the levers or similar devices.

"Black said he had seen a poll recently that showed McCain tied in the Philadelphia suburbs"

I must admit I see FAR less Obama signs, bumper stickers, etc. in the Philly suburbs than I saw for Kerry.

I just read on another thread that the Cedar Rapids Gazette has endorsed McCain. One FReeper mentioned that this is the second largest metro paper in Iowa. Another believes it tends to be a pretty liberal paper. Good news!

Holy smoke. If that's true, M/P wins Pennsylvania going away.

[rwfromkansas]

See, this isn’t good news........a big lead for O.

It is hard to imagine a poll being THIS far off:

“Last week, the Des Moines Register poll, which has a good record of prediction in that state, put McCain’s deficit at 17 points, with Barack Obama garnering 54 percent of the support.”

But, with other polls closer, it is hard to imagine we can’t still win, even in IA.

I’d feel better if we didn’t have Rove’s fuzzy math of 2006 hanging over our heads.

That would mean that he's doing better than Bush. Based on yard signs, McCain's way ahead.

[tallyhoe]

The problem with these polls is they ask on one of the questions is do you approve or disapprove of George W. Bush. That in its self will skew the data toward the Democrats! I believe that John McCain and Sarah Palin will win this election. I live in a Blue state and there is something weird going on. When I drive around there is hardly any Obama bumper stickers on cars. I drive through the parking lots and there isn’t any. Once in a while I see one Obama but I see McCain/Palin just as often!

The Real Clear Politics average is not a good indicator. The main reason being the deliberate outlier polls by the msm skew the average. You have to throw those out. Also the more recent the poll the better the indicator.

2004 plus 2? I will take it. Lets keep up the hard work I saw some great volunteers on Rt 1 in Port Orange today! Everyone was waving and honking them!

Hey, McCain team, cut an ad about Barry bankrupting the coal industry, and have it run nonstop in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

[Political Junkie Too]

(The campaign stopped doing its own polling after Thursday, he added, because television time through the election all had to be purchased by Friday.)

Not good when trying to gauge the last-minute movements.

I’m not surprised this adviser’s pronouncement, but I am surprised at the omission of NH and WI. And if McCain/Palin win IA, then MN and MI should be right there as well.
