The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows that John McCain’s lead over Barack Obama is down to five percentage points, 51% to 46%. In September, McCain led by 11. Earlier in October, that lead had slipped to nine points.

1. Wow! good news being ignored as usual, as we follow the mugging story

that has absolutely nothing to do with Obama or his campaign.

4. Small minds are easily distracted.

This is great news!! It means Obama is connecting with the southern whites. Amazing.

3. 100% untraceable votes- electronic voting machines & republicans aren't shy about flipping them....

remember the 2002 election in Georgia...I still can't believe such obvious flipping & stealing of elections from the incumbents with double digit leads going into election day, a Dem Gov & Dem senator were winning, exits polls said they won and then....early in the morning -FLIP- and the republicans were announced the winners and there was nothing the Dems could do about it...the machines had spoken, the machines had a vote count, (by repugs flipping) and there was no way to trace the actual votes, no paper trail!

5. I've seen toss up states for a bigger Obama lead

GA should go into Tossup. Who makes these decisions about what states are toss ups? It's obviously not done by lead %

7. For Obama, 48% have a favorable view, including an amazing 42% with a Very Favorable opinion.

These numbers are extreme. They either love him or hate him in Georgia. Only 6% said "Somewhat Favorable".

6. On WWL here in New Orleans..

Bob Barr told CNN and the electorate:

"Dont get surprised when Obama wins Georgia"
