McCain will win. The Dems internal polling in Pennsylvania, for example only have Obama up by 2%. That is why McCain is hammering PA away. If you add Obama calling people in PAS "bitter people clinging to guns and religion" and you add Dem Congressman Jack Murtha saying Western Pennsylvanians are "Rednecks" and "racist bigots"... you have a chance for MAC!
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.
I agree with batrice... I think the polls are wrong. A lot of people will be surprised come election day.
I just drove a 1 mile through my suburban Philadelphia neighborhood, one which couldn't be more diverse. We have African Americans, whites, Koreans and Jews who Conservative Jews who walk to one the three synagogues every Saturday morning. The entire route was lined with Obama lawn signs. 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.
LOL, two days ago you had a thread called "Help Me" in which you claimed you had just voted early for Obama and wanted to know how to undo it. Today you're claiming you're voting for McCain. I seem to recall some Ralph Nader threads from you, too.
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.
