Ah the polls don't lie
http://www.electoral-vote.com/

And if you are getting ready to steal it, you need a story line that it is close

Regardless... this is not good...

And I don't care how people try to spin it

1. The polls may not lie, but they also don't mean much...
This far out, polls are fairly meaningless. Yes, McCain has become a viable possibility, and that sucks. But beyond that we know nothing. Let's stick to the business of supporting our guy.

7. It is, but I am just reminded of WAY and I mean WAAY too many
recent elections where candidate A is way ahead early on and ends up loosing

Of course my spidey sense is going off the scale since I know they WANT to steal it...

And all the spinning will not change this little fact... they will TRY TO STEAL IT and they need to create a story line

8. Personally ?
I think the polls spin the media more than the voters.

Then, there are those voters that are STILL not paying attention.

My life won't change :) Feh, the polls.

9. On and for the record, I know some people like to misinterpret things
this has nothing to do with Obama... we have seen this pattern way too many times.

Wake up and smell the coffee
