Democrats always have an edge in polling. Most polls are conducted by organizations such as network news, and newspapers which are at least 90% liberal to begin with. From that, there is a certain built in bias that shows up in these polls, somewhere between 5-10%. The election tomorrow will be a lot closer tomorrow then anyone thinks.

FR, I am curious about those states who went heavily for Romney in the West. Are they on board with McCain?

In Montana for example, Ron Paul is on the ballot, but how does this effect the other states who are not to fond of McCain?

There has been little talk about those states which Romney won in, especially if the complete base is not rallied.

Will this mean the "L" word for Obama?

Worried, but confident we can squeek it out!

BHO could have played the Hagee, Anti-gay preacher, Anti-Jewish preacher, Anti-Catholic preacher, G. Gordon Liddy, Witch Doctor, White suprememicist secessionist, Keating 5, 500K to Kalidi CARDS. But for some reason, he chose not to. Hope all that class doesn't bite BHO in the A$$!

Democrat — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:33:29 GMT

It has been a pleasure to blog with you all but my work is done. It's time to get back to the real world.

A few things before I go
* No matter who is elected President tomorrow, our taxes will go up. It is not a matter of want but need. We have a choice: do we want a bankrupt country or do we want to succeed? If we want the latter, our success depends on our opening our checkbooks or doing some serious volunteering to save our country.
* If we elect Senator Obama to be the President we will finally have the opportunity to undo the horrible place we have put ourselves in internationally. An ecstatic goodbye to the war hawks.
* Apparently there are a few other people who call themselves "Democrat" out there. You should be able to tell from my writing style who I am.
* I have supported Barack Obama here for some time but only recently have I identified with the Democrats. I voted for Reagan, Bush I, Bush II in 2000 and Dole. For a long time I was staunchly Republican. I have, however, taken the time to view the party platforms of both parties and no longer like what I see in the Republicans:
* I strongly believe in separation of church and state because this country was founded based on an escape from religious persecution but the Republicans embrace a combination of fundamentalism, evangelism and government.
* I do prefer that the government stays out of my life as much as possible but the Republican Party is now the party of pick-and-choose: they want to and have taken away some of our rights while trying to tell us that they haven't. Their platform suggests that they would like to take away more.
* I do like lower taxes, but not at the expense of the country I love. I am willing to pay more to help it succeed.
* I want our great country to move forward. The Republicans seem to be afraid of that. I do not like the idea of supporting a party based on fear and loathing.

I crossed the aisle and embraced the progressive side. If you feel that the Republican party no longer represents you like I do, do the right thing and vote Democratic this election.

Yes you can.

The airwaves are now flooded w/Rev Wright ads, Joe the Plumber makes false accusations about Obama during McCain/Palin rallies, and McCain does nothing about it! It doesn't matter that the Wright ads aren't directly from his campaign; he should stop them, and, if he says he can't, how will run our country if he can't run his party?

The RNC appeals to fear the other one makes you kinda of smile. They just dont get it people are tired of Smear and Fear tactics. Only the Rabid dog likes to be fed poop like that.

you might want to check out zogby-that poll has McCain ahead in the last two days, after trailing badly for a week. It seems that the undecideds, (one out of seven voters) are breaking for McCain.

Say what you will, I learned my lesson about Zogby's polling data in 2000-Rasmussin, Mason-Dixon, WSJ/NBC, GAllop-every other poll had Bush ahead in Florida from 5 to 15 points. Zogby had it TIED.

It's the weighting-do it wrong, and your polls are wrong.

We'll see how this turns out.

P.S. I wouldn't put too much weight on the number of democrats turning out for early voting, since I, myself, am a registered democrat, and, in fact, have held elective office as a democrat.

Very Concerned American — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:50:11 GMT

Here’s the deal folks, if obama is elected he will let down his false image and go back to being who he really is. Back to Rev wrights church, back to being best friends with Ayers, back to supporting anti American groups, back to supporting terrorist groups.
Question is do you as Americans want these people running our country ????

Currently we are fighting Muslims in 2 different countries, why elect one to high highest position in the world, here in the US. During world war II didn’t elect a Japanese or German to the presidency so why now ??? Times maybe hard now, but if obama is elected they WILL get 10 times worse. Do you want history to show a Muslim named Hussein to be listed with our great leaders? Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Hussein?

I don’t care what he keeps promising; HE WILL raise your taxes! He can’t afford to pay for his welfare programs without raising taxes. He’ll raise your taxes by repelling the bush tax cuts. That alone will raise you taxes, mine will double. America think long and hard do you really want someone with NO experience, with terrorist connections, and who supported over 20 years of anti American sentiment as our President ? He has consistently changed his mind when things didn’t suit him and realized they wouldn’t work. He is like putting someone who has never flown a plane in the pilot’s seat with all of us as his passengers. People I understand we want change (as do I) but he is not it. He is too radical in his beliefs and too mysterious with his past. As of yet he still has not produced a legal birth cert to prove his a natural born citizen. WHY? He keeps telling everyone he is Christian, but until he moved back to the US he was a practicing Muslim.
As, Brian Brokaw said on the nightly news there is still so much we don’t know about him. Too much to turn our country over to him to do as he pleases.

Tomorrow, we elect a new President, let’s elect one that we can trust and doesn’t hide his past. Elect someone who has America’s interest at heart, not someone who wants to liked and admired in foreign countries. We need leadership here! The economic crisis will end, and the country will be strong again only if McCain wins. Think about your children and grandchildren, do you want then to have an America to grow up in????

There IS a reason for the streak. America is TIRED of Republican hating and Republican (Read Ronald Reagan) economic theories, though he didn't "invent" them, he just popularized them.

America is tired of Wall Street, special interests, corporations owned by the rich assuming that America is their cash bucket.

----------------
Senator McCain, Governor Palin and assorted surrogates are delusional and breathtakingly corrupt. They disgrace themselves and their country as they lie, smear, slur and write it off as political manner. Yet the creeping truth must frighten them late at night:

There is no currency left to buy the big lies.

There is no more money left to loan or borrow the big lies or to sell them. No more money left to pay off the debt, the wreckage in the wake. The orgy of excess has drained every bottle, smashed the furniture and left the cupboards bare. All that's left is derivative debts - bets between liars and lies. Trillions of dollars. It turned capitalism into a Ponzi scheme for trading worthless paper. No real value anywhere. No matter how much money Ben Bernanke prints.

We are asked to stand over the abyss and experience our own destruction as another political game show - just another surreal horse race.

We watch millionaires and paid Republican hacks appear on television yelling "Socialist!" at Obama as if the Bolsheviks are coming to rape our daughters. These are the same people who oversaw the greatest UPWARD REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH in the history of this country. The same people who, through general lawlessness and a privatization frenzy, succeeded in shredding the Constitution, turning war, illegal domestic spying, security, border patrol, interrogation, and even torture into profitable industries gorging on the state.

So define the big lie: free marketers want free markets. Not so, the facts say. They are the biggest welfare freaks on the planet.

These men and keepers of the faith would lecture us with a straight face on the evil socialists/ communists/terrorists /vampires/space aliens who would dare "redistribute wealth" by amending the tax code. Two wars and the only shared sacrifice they want is more tax cuts for the rich and for the U.S. citizenry to continue shopping.

(quoting John Cusack, and if you have not see War, Inc. yet, it's an eyeopener and entertaining at the same time.)
--------------------------

They want to socialize risk, while privatizing the wealth. That is the "free market" that John Mccain works for. That is why he points the finger of socialism at Obama while assuming the American public is either too stupid or too busy working to pay their bills to actually look the definition of socialism... to learn that if anything, it HAS been his party who has practiced it faithfully... BY REDISTRIBUTING YOUR WEALTH UPWARD AND OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, INTO OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS AND GLOBAL BUSINESS MERGERS.

But one thing John McCain failed to understand about America... we don't get mad. We get even. We are a pendulum... and the swing is against you, John.

GET OUT AND VOTE TOMORROW! If you already voted, help someone else vote. Let's take back this country and keep the wealth with those who work for it -- those of us making LESS THAN $250k!!!

YES, WE CAN.

The University of Wisconsin "big Ten" poll should be ignored. Whether "my [cheese head] friends" were drinking too much beer (distinct possibility), or too distraught over the loss of Favre, the collapse of the Badger football team, or lack of pollling experience outside Badger land, to conduct a decent poll. What ever the reason the Big Ten poll has always been odd. It's September poll was the only poll to show McCain ahead of Obama in Iowa. I had never heard of the "Big Ten" poll before September, or any University of Wisconsin poll for races outside the states border. I can't speak to its numbers outside of Iowa, but its first poll of Iowa was a joke. McCain has never had a lead in Iowa, and the lead for Obama was double digits when U of W's poll had McCain ahead. It's probably what has foolishly kept Iowa as a lean instead of a likely state, although CNN finally put IOwa as likely. Yesterday the Des Moines Register's "Iowa poll" showed Obama with an insurmountable lead. 17% among likely voters, and 23% lead among independents. While I have less respect for the Registers caucus polling, the papers final poll before the election has never called a state wide race wrong, and this year isn't going to be the exception!

Barack, what did you mean and what will this kind of philosophy do for our jobs here in PA and those in WV? Please don’t do the “What I meant to say” we’ve heard so many times now. It is getting old and we don’t need that kind of wishy washy talk from a person who could be president. Why does it take you once or twice to get things right.

In the coming months — when investors realize that Obama will raise the cap gains rate — there could be a stampede of asset sales as investors rush to take their profits now to avoid Obama's doubling of the tax rates next year. OBAMANOMICS attack on American business, your employers. Ask Michigan what Jennifer Granholm’s tax increases on business did? Seen the unemployment leader lately? Business started packing up and moving out.

The polls, while not perfect, still give a good snapshot of the electorate. So at the end of the day tomorrow, we will be electing a new president and that man will be Barack Obama. If McCain wins, the pollsters will be out of jobs since they will have proven they are unable to perform polls properly.

Incidentally...someone should ask Sandy from Toledo and some other McCain posters to come up with some REAL REASONS why we should support McCain other than the superficial sidestepping designed to cover the REAL REASON why they won't support Obama...racism.

Another "impressive" streak — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:24:45 GMT

That streak is almost as "impressive" as the streak of consecutive days that the national media has been drunk in bed with Obama and showing him overt bias by both 1)Strongly emphasizing anything that makes Obama look good and anything hurtful to McCain and 2) muzzling and de-emphasizing any positive McCain stories or hurtful Obama ones. The issue of Obama's aunt and her illegal status in the US is the latest example (of MANY). The media's articles have been only concerned about "who leaked this story" because it might be harmful to Obama rather than wanting to know if Obama TRULY didn't know her status and digging to find out. I guarantee that if it had been McCain's aunt, you guys would've had articles titled "Did McCain REALLY not know she was here illegally?"

Thats,impressive.It does say a thing or two about the mood of the electorate.Obama should win provided that all the groundwork(get out the vote) is done properly.And yes,i don't think race would be a factor at all. there are many good non racist white people who believe in Obama and thats one of the main reasons he has been able to maintain these leads.They are tired of the dead and divisive policies of the republican party.

SO GET USED TO IT!!! LEARN TO LOVE BARACK as we do!

Yeah, that's right. I can smell some good ole Republi'kin rump roast cooking on the BBQ!

How do you like your Republi'kin, Speaker Pelosi??? Rare, like a good red meat should be?? Or cooked well done, with a nice grill marks across their backside???

How 'bout you Sen. Reid???? You want a good plate of this here Republi'kin Pulled Pork BBQ??? Ummmm, Uh! Good! Eat up!

lol...OK, no one is remotely suggesting cannibalism. But the wonderful, visual symbolism of Karl Rove and the rest of the RNC having their butts collectively roasting over an open flame, is an attractive mental image.

Here is the problem I have with polls. Pollsters poll respondents. But we never hear about the non-respondents, people who politely decline to participate. How are they voting? In a race such as this, that has a clear politically correct sentiment to it, I have to wonder if there is a hidden vote out there that is not being picked up. The exit polls in 2004 were significantly wrong when they projected Kerry the winner. Apparently many conservative voters chose not to participate in the exit polls, skewing the numbners. Can the same thing happen this year? We will find out Tuesday night.

Don't be surprised if it turns out to be very close or even a McCain victory. The GOP will employ every tactic at their disposal to ensure they hold on to power. For them, the Ends justify the Means.

It's remarkable how we have yet to hear of any voting machines flipping McCain votes to Obama, but we've heard many, many instances of the opposite happening. Rather curious wouldn't you say?

Here's a video of the Right Wing machine in action. It's called McChapter 7 - Morally Bankrupt.

THE PROBLEM IS THE ECONOMY IS BASED ON FAR MORE THEN JUST BOTH PARTIES AND WILL TAKE ITS OWN TIME TO CORRECT. IF THE CYCLE CORRECTS ITSELF BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION THEN THAT PERSON WILL LOOK LIKE A GENIUS. IF THE CYCLE DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF BEFORE NEXT ELECTION AND GOES DOWN THEN PEOPLE WILL BE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

Glad this election cycle will be over tomorrow! It has been a great adventure and a roller coaster of a ride. I am not paying any attention to polls, I am looking at the electoral college numbers and the paths to victory for each candidate. Everyone must be vigilant and VOTE, no matter the length of the line or how long the wait. Remember Americans were sprayed with water hoses, attacked by dogs, and many died for Americans to vote in this country. Please do not take VOTING for granted, it is a priviledge paid for with blood.

REG in AZ — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:49:31 GMT

In 2000, 2004 and over the last eight years we have been lied to consistently as the Bush-Cheney admin has boldly pursued their private agenda to benefit Special Interests and a select few and have given the majority of us only apathy, the costs and an abundance of subterfuge. They have done this aggressively with arrogance and without any conscience and today we see the results in the significant and drastic problems we now have. Those few benefiting from this irresponsibility return both overt and covert support, campaign contributions and promised delayed compensation; George W Bush has even bragged he will quickly pass his father and Bill Clinton in wealth after he leaves office. We are now seeing a rerun of the same dirty politics from the McCain-Palin camp as they aggressively pursue another smear and scare campaign, without ever really addressing the issues, just depending on lies, exaggerations, far stretched accusations and guilt by association, which they offer by word-of-mouth, on websites and in their speeches. They ask us to believe their obviously twisted evaluations faulting and attacking Obama-Bidden and the Obama-Bidden solutions and then we are suppose to just trust them, that they McCain and Palin know best what to do, as if everything is all about them. Common sense should convince us that tactic is simply a con and just more of the same style deception we have been misled by in the past. McCain’s history really has not been one with a lot of impressive results and rather instead demonstrates someone who impulsively jumps to whatever position he feels favors him for political advantage. Palin, besides being grossly unqualified, shows us an aggressive, totally self-focused, dishonest and ‘cocky’ personality that lacks the diplomacy and others awareness to perform at the level required. In the mean time, Obama and Bidden have consistently, comparatively speaking, maintained a higher class presidential campaign with a concentration on the issues and in offering specifics of real solutions. Their solutions, and not McCain’s and Palin’s rationalized and critical interpretation of them, offer the needed real change to resolve the problems with the focus being on the neglected middle-class, which means the economy and everyone benefits. If we don’t reject the total bull that McCain and Palin are offering and then are once again deceived, because she is cute or he is a war hero or we lean Republican or because we have conservative concerns or whatever, then we can literally blame ourselves as being co-responsible when we end up with just ‘more of the same’. In the end, it is up to us and we really can’t withstand ‘more of the same’!

Barbara, Auburndale, FL — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:52:05 GMT

Palin is an idiot. She spoke in Florida on Saturday. She kept referring to Lakeland, FL, to those in attendance. The only problem with this, is that she was actually in Auburndale, FL and not Lakeland. ALSO, I really thought she was running for vice-president, however, the signs that the audience held, were only showing PALIN. McCain signs on the air were non existant. She mostly spoke of what she would do as vice president. I was beginning to think that McCain might have just turned the presidential race over to Ms. Palin, since most of her speech was about herself rather than Mr. McCain.
