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
You had me up until the Islamic Sympathizer part.

I just drove a 1 mile through my suburban Philadelphia neighborhood, one which couldn't be more diverse.

I live in a corner house and on each corner is an Obama sign, the entire neighborhood is awash in blue and white.

I have lived here since 2000 and I have never seen this level of voter participation (should I say anticipation). Montgomery County, where I live, is one of the four suburban "battle ground" counties in Pennsylvania which include Bucks, Chester, Delaware, that is 20% of the voting population. Add in Philadelphia county and you have about 43% of the total vote.

If the polls are wrong in Pennsylvania, you sure as hell couldn't tell by the visible support that Obama is receiving in this part of the state.

Wow, you're flip flopping more than McCain! Have you considered a career in politics?

Good call Normie. How is this not trolling? Rep for you.

Other parts of the state are very different and there are like no I mean no Obama signs at all. Doesn't mean there aren't supporters but they don't have their signs out.
