Obama has over-polled EVERY SINGLE TIME in this election, from New Hampshire to Kentucky primaries. You cannot rely on the liberal news polls.

I also remember one thing - the media and all the polls said that Dewey was going to smash Truman in the election and thus, it caused massive Rep turnout to stay home, as they figure Deweyw as a shoe-in.

WE all know how that's turned out.





VOTE GOP FRIENDS AND SMART DEMOCRATS! LET'S DEFEAT ISLAMIC-SYMPATHIZER, OBAMA! Obama!!

Washington Times - HYMAN: Obama's Kenya ghosts
Every single time? Even North Carolina where Hillary thought for sure they had won that evening and ended up losing big? Remember that little time?

The problem with Joe the Plumber is he lied about what he's currently able to do. For god's sake, he's not even a plumber. And he was not in negotiations to purchase that business. And he is a deadbeat with regard to paying taxes.

FiveThirtyEight.com: Electoral Projections Done Right
A great lead on the IBD poll that has Obama up by only one. It is from FiveThirtyEight and you know they are highly thought of.
FiveThirtyEight.com: Electoral Projections Done Right
That's right ... IBD/TIPP has John McCain ahead 74-22 among 18-24 year olds. Who knew the kids were groovin' on J-Mac these days?

I went to college in Amish country and I never mentioned Amish in my post, did I? I never mentioned any particular sections of Pennsylvania. So now how familiar are you with Amish? How familiar are you with being able to read my mind. Yes Amish are not the most liberal members of American society.
Nor did I use the words Racist Rednecks

Thus once again independent readers you can see how the McCainintes will take anything and twist it to create controversy to once again divide and conquer. The choice is yours and from the polls you are making your thoughts known.
Yes we Can

Are all the polls wrong, or just some of them?

Several family members told me I should have just told them what they wanted to hear, to “avoid trouble.” There is real fear of the Obama thugs in my neighborhood. No wonder some Democrats are afraid to open their mouths.
Could you define a "McCain Democrat"? This is a mystifying concept to me.
