"This is not good news for McCain," Zogby on latest poll

[Cetacea]

"The race was tightening for a few days but now it is going back the other way," pollster John Zogby said.

Support for Obama, a first-term senator from Illinois, hit or exceeded the 50 percent mark for the seventh time in the last 10 days. McCain's support has not reached 46 percent in more than three weeks of polling.

2. Do likely voters mean those who are young with only cell phones?

I doubt it.

I have a feeling the polls don't show those voters.

[succubus.blues]

7. or all the newly registered Dem

voters, either.

[Cetacea]

15. I doubt that Zogby is including them

I don't know his parameters but I would think he generally skews to favor the right.

6. Until that TV says President Elect Barack Obama on Nov. 5th (preferrably Nov 4th), it's NOT over.

I very much know what these clowns will try and have the stupidity to pull off.

The long lines and vote tampering are already happening and documented.

This election better be on the level. Maps WILL be taken note of prior to and after the election. A candidate doesn't have an 8-10 point lead in most polls and loses unless there's THEFT.

9. which is why I predict mass

chaos if he loses and the polls show him winning...

[niceypoo]

16. There will be mass chaos if McCain loses too...

The Republicans will try to throw the election into chaos with lots and lots of lawsuits, then give us the "Obama must capitulate, for the good of the country," spin.

They will try to tie up the process until after inaugural day.

If OBama wins, Rove goes to prison. Expect them to try any and everything in the book.

[FiveGoodMen]

17. That's probably why the army is waiting in the wings

[tblue]

22. I can't even go there.

Ugh! My worst nightmare.

[Cetacea]

10. Absolutely! n/t

[Vinca]

18. Still, according to MSM and the McCain campaign, it's "neck and neck."

[NNN0LHI]

19. And if reporting that keeps our people out their standing in line to vote that is a good thing

Always a silver lining.
