Be gentle on her. She's a republican in panic.

I bet you voted for GWB in 2000 and 2004 and predicted America will be prosperous under his rule.

LOL.

Let me add another one that puts McCain in a far more favorable light - one that the Dems didn't want released. It's an "inside" poll that has come to light showing a tight race, very much within the margin of error.

I always dismiss the polls that we hear day in and day out. It's an attempt to manipulate, and at the very least, they are not accurate for reasons cited earlier. People don't tell the truth, or the polls are carefully worded to produce the response the pollster wants.

Kerry did not go on to win did he? I'm not saying Nobama can't win, but it's not over until November 4th.
I thought the same thing at first but then went on RCP and looked at the final polls for the 04 elections (not the exit polls but the ones in the two weeks before elections) and the race was nearly neck-and-neck, with Bush slightly ahead (by about a percent)

McCaint, on the otherhand is much further behind.

Mystery Pollster: Battleground States

There was also a USAToday report 10-31-04 with Kerry ahead in 13 Battlegound states, it's somewhere in one of these threads.

Kerry's lead was killed by swiftboating. I hope Americans are too smart for that now.

We do still have the curtains closed for national elections although Obama wants them taken away for Union votes.
Well, as a union member, I'm sure glad there's still plenty of time for you to change your mind and vote for Obama.
