These national polls are nice to look at for an overall picture of the race, but looking at the battleground states, it would appear almost insurmountable for McCain to break the 270 number.
He would have to sweep every single one of those states that are being contested right now to hit that mark. I just don't see it happening.
We can only hope that people will begin thinking rationally once again.
Who said that Democrats are famous for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?
Im not going to be confident until Obama is at least 15 points ahead nationally and even then, I wont really believe the polls because Obama's race is going to be an issue.
What I really want is for Obama to win so big that he doesnt need Ohio AND Florida. Yes that's a tall order, but OH and FL have been too problematic.
The media driven polls are for one purpose - to try and depress and suppress the conservative vote. They do it every year, they did it in 2004. Remember all the stories of how new and young voters were going to swarm the voting booth in an overwhelming tide?
The media forgot something then as well as now - the conservative base also came out in 2004, and look what happened.
In 2006, look what happened when they stayed home.
Why couldn't all these new, young, minority voters put Obama over the top in states like Texas, Oh, IN, PA during the primaries?
Ignore the polls - they are padded/weighted towards the democrats.
We can only hope that people will begin thinking rationally once again.
Yes, thinking rationally is the only chance McCain has left. He has been pretty erratic and irrational since choosing Palin as his VP.
