just ignore it no matter how much you hear about it, they're all now questioning the polls---you think they would if the polls were in their direction----no.

7. Yep
In that contest, polling stopped 2 weeks before the election, AND polling methods were downright primitive by today's standards.

So it's a poor analogy, and makes your statement apt.

2. They trust the polls that are closing. As for the rest, they always seem to claim...

3. I noticed in McCains ad and Fiorna on Fox were pushing a message
That Obama is a great guy, he is just not ready yet. So why would they go from negative to saying he is a great guy if they weren't behind and trying to peel off some soft support?

5. I'm thinking they are correct
It isn't as close and NC, GA and AZ are going to fall Obama's way along with all of the Battleground States. Hard to believe CA is 20 points, just because I live behind the Orange Curtain. A few of the neighborhood friends are slightly annoyed, but only one made a negative comment, so I guess that is progress.
