I love how people accept this as factual.
like the polls aren't driven by the same biased people who are in control of most of the news networks

in the tank for Obama

The only poll that counts is the one that is cast by the voters

I would guess this is likely the result of Obama's "overated" TV infomercial.
I would further guess that the one-day Zogby bump for McCain is a statistical fluke (we should know for sure tomorrow).

I would, because I believe in democracy. I have one vote and I intend to exercise my right on Tuesday. True, most of my friends, co-workers and family members are for Obama of their own volition...

Of course I meant "take every Obama voter you know to the polls"...I've been making phone calls, registering voters (don't know who they ultimately vote for), and knocking on doors spreading the word about Senator Obama.

If you were my neighbor and asked for a ride to the polls as I was pulling out of my driveway I wouldn't step on it and leave you in the dust.

These pollsters have a business...they live and die by their reputation for accuracy.

Your post is nothing more than wishful thinking accompanied by a strong dose of sour grapes.

I will tell you this and take it for what it's worth. I think all that is admirable. I also think that unwanted solicitation can hurt a candidate. obama's solicitation has really bothered me.

I've been working for Obama too, and will continue until we win on Tuesday.

Unwanted solicitation is a pain in the arse no matter what...and I can't wait for the campaigning to be over on both sides.

I'm not threatening though, and have had some friendly, insightful chats with pro-Obama, pro-McCain and undecideds! If I knock on a door and they run and hide I don't persist...
