Vickilynn,

Don't worry about the pollsters calling you - the polls they take are not that accurate anyhow... don't be influenced by them one way or another.

The only poll that matters is November 4th...

If you want to judge the scale of the Obama victory that is developing, forget the daily political polls - just look at the crowds that Obama is drawing nationawide compared to McCain... The difference is almost laughable... Obama draws huge crowds of energized people - some get there 12 hours early to make sure they see him...

Make sure you get to the polls on the 4th, and vote for Obama!!

The Economy, Education, healthcare & the War in Iraq are all huge issues
I am voting Obama this election but am surprised that the man who's name was on the amnesty bill would be seen as a traitor. Given his state (AZ) he appears to be pro-latino...at least for political purposes. That is surprising.

That's amazing!!

I don't much care what the political polls say - I look at how energized the democrats are, and how demoralized the republicans are... I think that is far more indicative of the Nov 4th outcome.

Look at the huge crowds he drew in North Carolina a few weeks ago - people literally started showing up 12 hours in advance!!!

Go Obama!!

You might want to research cross party voting data first.

Remember Bots, Barack outdrew Hillary in states he lost. Older voters don't brave lines and the weather like younger voters.

Smile I, and many of my friends...

are registered democrats, but we are voting for McCain. The issues in this election transcend party affiliation. The undecided voters who are not registered D or R will put Florida with McCain. Florida will save the USA from Socialism.

Chances are that if Florida doesn't go for Obama, it's EV's will be quite inconsequential. Obama can win without them, McCain can't.
