Good graph just below the Polling Data


What is the reason many believe causes the race to tighten up in the last few days? Undecideds making up their mind?

no, 1/2 of undecideds don't vote at all.

Smart money is on Obama winning between 353 and 406 electoral votes.

3rd party is more like 1-2% of the country. Right now undecided voters are 4-5%.

Gallup is in the tank for Obama. Every pollster is except Zogby 10/31

PRINCETON, NJ -- The final Gallup 2008 pre-election poll -- based on Oct. 31-Nov. 2 Gallup Poll Daily tracking -- shows Barack Obama with a 53% to 42% advantage over John McCain among likely voters. When undecided voters are allocated proportionately to the two candidates to better approximate the actual vote, the estimate becomes 55% for Obama to 44% for McCain.

 

[StageLeft]

The campaign is over. A lot of the people who saw Bush snatch it in 2000 and 2004 and think that this is quantifiably the same situation will be in for a rude awakening tomorrow evening.

It's funny that you can't make snide remarks about how great McCain is and how he's going to win anymore, so now, like a 4 year old, you've found something new. "HA you dummy! My candidate won't lose by NEARLY as much as you think!!!"

And it's funny to see the other 4 year old play too.

 

[Starbuck1975]

The polls did tighten to a certain extent, but I dont think enough for McCain to squeak by.

If you look at the electoral map on real clear politics, several states that were leaning Obama are now too close to call...Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, Georgia, Montana, Missouri and Florida...neither McCain nor Obama are going into tomorrow with higher than a 4 point lead in any of those states, so they will be very close.

Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania and New Mexico will be interesting to watch...Obama has slid a point or two in each of those states in the last week...granted he still commands over a 4 point lead in those states, with PA being the greatest electoral prize...McCain needs to claim PA to win this thing, and Obama still has a commanding 7 point lead in PA.

So yes, the polls did tighten a few points...enough to perhaps close the electoral gap, but not enough for McCain to win.

 

[techs]

I don't know about the poles, but my sphincter is tightening.

 

[jonks]

Fivethirtyeight now puts McCain's chances at 1.9%. He's got em just where he wants em.

Guys, just because CAD spends all his time on here attacking Obama doesn't mean he supports McCain. Like in a football game, just because I want the Giants to lose doesn't mean that I want their opponent to win! Maybe I'm rooting for some other wildly improbable scenario to occur. I could in fact be hoping for a meteor strike to destroy the stadium.

Conservatives.

I'll likely vote Barr or write in RP2 as a protest tomorrow since the national choice is a RINO vs far left Liberal.

Maybe you can tell me then.. since Conservatives are the worst motherfuckers on the planet with money, what is it they are conservative about?
