So if Obama wins, that's democracy at work. If McCain wins, the fix is in, right?

      Ah, this line of thinking is based solely opn the fact that Obama:

      1. Leads in all national polls and leads in enough state polls to win the electoral college handily.

      2. Generates far more enthusiasm than McCain, if we are to judge by donations, volunteers, and crowd size.

      So, its easy to say that the guy leading in the polls, getting the most volunteers, the most campaing contributions, and largest crowds, winning equals dmeocracy, but if the guy trailing in polls, volunteers, contributions, and crowds, somehow wins, there might be something funny going on.

        I screwed the poll up. Should be able to vote for more than one.

          If McCain wins, it will also be because America is racist.

            Don't more repugs have unlisted #s though? So they can't be polled, right?

              What on earth makes you say that? I had never heard that claim anywhere.

              The bigger problem in polling is reaching people on their cell phones.

                If anything, young people have been under-polled and 55+ people over-polled.

                Of course that could be countered by how many of each group get out to vote.

                    I assume this is true based on the wealthier a person is the less time they have for dealing with the rifraf. (us)

                      That's the tricky bit because someone has to lose.

                            I don't answer the telephone. No one is able to poll me on anything. Polling and statistics are crap.

                              I agree Sloww. There's some lefties that assume the election is fixed if it doesn't come out like the polls predict. That's as bogus as the polls.
