3. great analysis except for one fact:
except for one election; New Hampshire, the average polls so far have been underestimating Obama by

Iowa 8.2%
S. Carolina 15.8%
Florida 5%

With such small samples you need to average the polls unless there is one (like ARG) that is consistently way off.

But if cherry picking polls helps you make it thru the weekend its ok by me.

4. Umm... you are picking at straws
55% is right around the average of women voters who have shown up at the polls.
