Obama up 8 points

[Ramo]

1. 51.8-46.8 = 5
2. That's a projection of where the race will be in two weeks, not where it currently is. Pollster.com and RCP put it at 7%.

Snapshot Estimate (if election were held today): Obama +6.2

[Ramo]

Fair enough.

There is still an error associated with that, Drake....a move of a couple of points is not what I would call statistically significant

[Naked Gents Rut]

No ****. I don't feel the need to worry about the statistical significance of 538's tracker results when posting at Poly, however.

I've being saying that for a while now. It's pretty obvious that Obama, Reid and Pelosi are going to shift America substantially to the left.

And it's about ****ing time for that to happen, too. We're over due for stronger liberalism in our government.

He keeps saying that as if he's informing people of that.

He doesn't need to do anything brazen. He just needs to go along with Congress while they scuttle the U.S.-South Korea FTA and the other pending FTAs. He'll save the more brazen acts for the second New Deal the Dems are currently envisioning.

Good. The South Korean public needs a swift kick in the ass after the Mad Cow insanity earlier this year. They need to realize that coming up with BS reasons to avoid importing stuff (like what's happening now with the iPod) actually has consequences.

You want to punish the South Koreans for their protectionist streak by scuttling an FTA that would make it much harder for them to be protectionist in the future?

That's most of the fun....

Punishing people via trade is overrated. Drop all trade barriers unilaterally...

Wow, the polls out so far this morning show Obama with ridiculous leads in some of the battleground states.

Errr....wow. Specifically, wow on Ohio numbers. The rest are good for Obama, but not crazy high. Last few Ohio numbers I'd seen all had results within 4 or so. Never heard of Big Ten Poll before, but Quinnipiac number is ridiculously good for Obama too.

WTF?

[Ramo]

More specifically, wow on the IN numbers. I don't buy O +10...

[KrazyHorse]

Oh yeah, missed that one.

Most other recent polls have shown IN a few points in McCain's favour.
