Yep. It was good enough for George W. Bush.

Bush was up by only 1 or 2 in key states polled right before the election?

Wasn't Bush ahead of Kerry on the overall polls? How are the two eras related? What was the economy like in 2004? Weren't idiots buying homes then trying to make a quick buck?

Wow, buy a calculator. With OH, PA, and NH (all pretty firm for Obama in spite of the robo polls) he needs one more state. That state is NV. It could be IA, or VA, or FL, but with NV in the bag, nothing else matters. Oh, and Romney has very little chance in OH - none, well maybe not none, but very, very little.

How can that be when pollsters pull out of states that used to be swing states?

I don't know about you, but my wife, mom, sisters and brother have all been canvassing for Obama. I'm going to Virginia this weekend. WE ARE GOING TO BRING THIS ONE HOME.

Romney, on the other hand, has former Klansmen who were born during the Great Depression manning his phone lines. We're going to invade swing states and swamp them with sheer numbers.
