Who is Rainmaker Media?

edit: Oh I see CNN above. Good for McCain. I'm sure he needs a boost right now.

But food for thought:

I have no problem putting WV in the McCain column. Nothing is expected from this state, one that always disappoints come election time. I'm sure every Electoral count scenario that Obama has worked up has WV solidly for the Republican candidate. Same with South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, and a host of other states (Utah, Idaho, and so forth).

I'm stunned by the huge differences among the polls in the same states. They're all over the place!

That is strange. Not to be trusted either way, in my opinion, especially this year.

If he looks like a leader, talks like a leader. speaks like a leader he is ... President Obama. Thought he looked so presidential today holding that what was it summit. He shows that he can multi task. He is still campaigning. I 'm sure his thoughts are with his Grandmother , he was dancing on Ellen. I don't mean to say that we want a unfeeling President because I don't believe he is that. I do think that he is a leader who knows that he needs to look like a leader who can ease peoples minds in problem times. That he won't let his problems and his anger or emotional times which I'm sure he has judge his leadership or shake him.

No way a majority of WV voters vote for a black man. Too redneck. May not like this assessment but its true. And look at registered voters in WV and see that a majority are Democrats. They picked Bush over Kerry (no surprise) and will vote McCain over Obama

Good story on lou dobbs about differences in polls. Some are polling state wide to get their numbers and others are polling what they consider to be key areas within the state based on previous elections.
