Patriot Games. Yes I believe it. Just few weeks ago. Obama presented
an ad..linking McCain to The Keating five. Which he was cleared.
So its fair McCain presented an ad Obama is linked to Bill Ayers. Fair
game. Do you think Obama should be untouched by the media? Obama
owns the media..why he's getting a pass.
Wake up Patriot Games.
Obama linking McCain to the Keating Five is like a Life Magazine
Special Edition exposing the connection between cows and milk....

McCain linking Obama to Ayers is NEW and BLOCKBUSTER stuff.
It's not new, or blockbuseter. It registered a "ho-hum" during the
primaries, just as it's doing now.

And I'm pretty sure we have still not heard the whole story...
Please keep hammering away at irrelevant crap. I'd like to see Obama with
a 20pt lead in the polls by 11/4.


If he can pull that off, he may win the election by as much as 2%. I've a
feeling that the polls do not represent anything close to reality, just as
the exit polls did not in the last election. People have started to get wise
to the way polls work, and are telling pollsters anything BUT what they
really feel.



That's an excellent point. The % difference may be higher than you think
as the phone pollsters can only go for the people with landlines - they
do not account for the cell-only crowds (approx. 20% of households).
That group tends to be younger and leans toward Obama. As always, there
are more confounding things to enter the picture and it can be extremely
difficult to say what is the real picture. But at this point in time,
the average numbers from a wide variety of pollsters, puts Obama roughly
8% points ahead. Even some of the Republican sites are giving Obama
anywhere from 277 - 364 EVs (yeah, it's a large range!).
