Went to bed last night with a smile on my face due to the Washington Post VA Poll...

that had Obama up by 4. Wake up this morning to find a poll showing Ohio is tied 49-49 and Obama ahead by only 3 in Minnesota (Oh, and that stupid endorsement of Romney by the Des Moines Reg that didn't make a lick of sense). Frankly I don't believe either of those polls and am soon going to take a nice walk in the cool Autumn air to clear my head and head over to Obama headquarters for two-hours of GOTV calls.

GoBAMA!!

Polling was done 5 - 10 days ago. Several polls taken since then have shown Obama with a 3 - 5 point lead.

Poll out on Monday will show Romney up by 5. Only thing is they sample too few African Americans and Hispanics. Folks please listen carefully, the GOP has designed this carefully to throw out so many polls during the last two weeks that no one knows who is on top. Do not focus on polls--at this time they are ALL flawed. Instead look at EV count. This will give you some indication as to who is leading. I don't care if Gallup shows Romney up by 15--this is not important if they oversampled southern rednecks. Romney is not disputing that Obama leads in Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nevada. Unless they can manipulate polls in all of these states, he does not have a clear path to victory. Get out there and vote and volunteer.
