2. I noticed that, even as they talk about all the other states, they only show the tie.

That's OK.

I'm glad that we are up in so many states, but I think it works to our advantage if the MSM keeps telling us it's all tied up while reality tells us we're ahead.

Much better than the if it was the other way around.

3. Ok, I asked this before, and no one ever answered me...

Isn't MI a blue state? Hasn't it always been a blue state? I don't get why anyone thinks Mccrap would win it?

8. McCain might win Michigan!

Mitt Romney's Pop was Governor.

McCain knows Mitt Romney. Kinda.

Therefore...

DO THE MATH

BTW - you posted national poll trends. That's good. But the electorals in each state are the ones that really have meaning, here on out.

13. Precisely my point. MSNBC using one poll, and an old one at that, is silly.

And we should not at this point be concerned with MSNBC or any others picking one such irrelevant poll to generate angst amongst supporters of the candidates.

I post those links every few days so that people understand that it is averages and up to date polling, AND, most important, individual states that count, and not an occasional outlier that makes little or no sense.
