1. With LV...
McCain is within 4 of Obama...it's a very tight race right now...negative lying attacks by McCain are starting to work in my opinion...they usually do.

7. here are a couple of posts from you in another thread....
"Undecided voters will break to McCain, but how much I do not know. Probably not enough to shift the election, but I expect the likely voters to tighten to either a slim 1 point Obama lead or a tie by election night."

"the likely voter numbers tightened. It's now 4 after it was six yesterday."

Now if I said the very same things you posted in this other thread you would have knocked me for it...haha!

21. I laughed out loud when I read the subject
My 14 year old nephew heard me laughing so I showed him the subject line and he got a kick out of it too (as you'd expect from a boy that age).

Thanks for giving the negativity the humor that it deserves :rofl:

11. Stop freaking out already! Is that really gonna help Obama?
It has been a steady 4 to 8 point race in almost all the polls. Yes, it may be a bit tighter but its literally less then 2 weeks away from the election. Since when does an election race NOT get tighter right before the election. In 2004, Kerry and Bush eneded up very very close in the Gallup poll but Bush had the lead and Bush won. He might have stolen Ohio but the point is we have the lead. If it remains 4 to 8 points in Registered Voters or Likely Expanded #'s then that is just fine with me (likely voters is outdated, the early voter turnout is breaking records already). Plus, remember, McLame has to run ALL the battlegrounds AND pick off a state that is now considered blue for Obama (such as Michigan, Wisconsin, PA). Look at VA and NM, they are clearly not trending towards McLame, it is towards Obama. This is our best chance in years and I for one am happy but doing all I can to help Obama.
:)

14. In 1972, 1980 and 1984
it did not tighten up at the end...went the opposite way....but listen up Jennicut...I agree with you...all I said was that the race is getting closer and I think it has alot to do with McCain's lying attacks on Obama...the media is helping McCain also by repeating over and over the lying attacks....

18. Yeah, the MSM sucks. The modern races have tightened up at the end
1992, 200, 2004 tightened up at the end. 1984 and 1972 were complete blowouts and in 1980 Carter lost his lead and Reagan came surging back. Anyways, the negative attacks are not going to work like they did on Kerry or Gore. For one thing, its simply too late and McLame has a lot of ground to cover (all the battlegrounds) and where will he get that Obama blue state from? The media stinks but its not always effective as Obama won all 3 debates through public not media perception.

17. LV models are useless in years like this
There's no possible way to determine how much turnout there is going to be, except that we know it will be heavy. Considering that you lean on the biggest pool of voters which are RV voters.

13. be careful...
you might get attacked for saying that here.

But you are right...lying attacks always work in politics for some reason and if people think things are different this year they are wrong...they ALWAYS WORK! Kerry learned that the hard way unfortunately.

The Ayers, robotcalls, ACORN, etc...stories are starting to enter into peoples' minds slowly but surely and I think it is hurting Obama...But I have confidence in the Obama team to do what is right to fight off this McCain surge.
