4. Neat that the Arab vote in Dearborne Michigan may swing this election

with all the race-baiting that has gone on against Arabs this election, I bet that would be sweet for them.

6. Remember Back In 2000 When The Rethugs Were Courting The Arabs?

Remember back in 2000 the Republicans were courting Muslims and Arabs to try to counter secular voters and others who'd vote for Al Gore? I bet that after being thrown under the Republican bus in 2002 and then run over by the jingo steamroller afterwards, the Dearborne Arabs in no mood to make nice with the GOP.

So as ye sow, so shall you reap.

5. Yes, I have

I haven't heard about any of the polls that showed Obama with a lead of more that 3-4 percent. I know I remember hearing numerous poll that showed 5-10 percent leads for Obama. It may because they want to report their own polls. For example, channel 7 here does polls with the Detroit News...it showed a 43 to 42 lead for Obama.

3. Sweetest poll result I've seen all month- Michigan and Ohio are very similar
