How much will the polls narrow before election day?
I feel a surge of Obama negativity coming to all major networks on air and cable.

The main stream media's job from now until election day is to narrow the gap in the polls to within the margin of error and let Diebold decide.

2. They will widen.
You can't stop a tidal wave.

Obama will win an historic landslide of epic proportions.

3. I expect significant spikes in Concern.
A minor drop in Worry, made null and void by a wide swing to Distress.

4. Im actually starting to think the Obama negativity from the MSM
......is creating a backlash against both the MSM as well as the McCain campaign.

5. With CNN apparently reporting on AIP
It could be devastating for the McFailin campaign.

6. Remember when McCain made a bold and creepy prediction
about the last 48 hours of the election?

I'm not counting anything out. Sorry.

7. He's always spouting off
about something he knows nothing about - like when he announced that he would suspend his campaign and return to Washington to fix the economy.

He's a drama queen. He's got nothing else.

8. The gap will stay the same or widen... the MSM's ability to affect public opinion has diminished
greatly.

Economic crises tend to focus the mind.


The public is rejecting the Ayers and ACORN stories. The MSM has lost its ability to affect this race now.

10. Obama by 5-6-7
I agree with you, no way will this 10 and 11 point lead still there on the day. I say it would have to be under 5 to try and pull any Diebold bullshit.
