The only poll that matters
Is the one that is taken tommorow from 7am to 8pm. I have no clue what is going to happen here tommorow and I've lived here all my life. No one knows what turnout is going to look like or who a likely voter is.

One poll will be close to accurate but its pretty much a game of darts. One polling firm will get lucky since they've predicted all over the map and everyone will scream how good the polling was by that place. It wasn't, out of 10 firms they will have gotten lucky.

So I go off now till Wednesday morning. I have door hangers telling people where their polling place is to hang.

1. I'll be working at the local polling place (we're pretty rural)
I'll check in when the polls close with some kind of #'s from our little corner of PA :hi:.

2. That should be the only poll the media reports, PERIOD. Anything else is just them trying to
influence the outcome.

They should only report in issues and absolutely nothing else. No polling data, no demographics, no speculation about how Obama's alliance with Wright will affect his popularity in the Jewish community...or how Hillary's story about shooting guns will play with Pennsylvania voters. None of that shit. I'm so tired of hearing how this statement or that statement or whatever the fuck is going to affect this or that community. They don't fucking know. Shut the fuck up, quit speculating, and let the goddamn voters decide.

End of rant.
