Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin

[clement]

McCain wants to fix the Wall Street problem? Wasn't he one of the staunchest supporters of deregulation over the past 28 years?

can of worms or not, the 2000 election is a perfect example of why you can't get a whole lot out of a national poll.

National polling numbers don't matter.

Neither matter much at this point, but I do put stock into the state polls more. There's too much going down right and will do so at the debates to where it's anyone's game to win and lose.

There's about 10 states that are worth watching at this stage and will likely dwindle.

I wouldn't expect anybody to be able to figure a meaning from all these polls. Especially with it coming down to what happens in several states. I was just curious about the general nature of the polls. does one party tend to do better on election day than they poll. for example -It seems in Missouri, the democrats do better on election day than the polls indicate earlier.

it could be just wishful thinking on my part.

There's been large democratic voter registration is states like OH and VA, so anyone's guess what will happen is still up in the air.

Most of these races have been so lop-sided since Reagen/Mondale, it's hard to differentiate.

80' rout
84' rout
88' rout
'92 rout
96' rout
00' close
04' close

We like to say that "John McCain has 28 years of experience with deregulation".

Hopefully Obama can carry St. Louis, Columbia, and KC by big enough margins to make up for more conservative areas.

Hopefully not.

They're too busy clinging to their guns and God to pay attention to the issues.

Obama certainly doesn't stand a chance in this rural part of MO. But we're all racist rednecks.
