Wow, did not expect the TRADITIONAL model to be showing this sort of result.

wow.




Have we actually gotten a good explanation on how the Traditional Model differs from the other models?

The traditional model takes into consideration both past voting history and currently stated voting intentions. The expanded model considers only currently stated intentions.

Well he better get on that "coming back" strategy of his because the polls open in like 70 hours.

Yep, candidates down double digits in the Gallup poll often win the election. Yup, yup.

Why is a candidate doing so well sending out urgent requests for more volunteers. especially one with a good ground game?

Cause he is a smart man, and like any smart man in a dual, doesnt want to give his opponent an iota of chance.

Ahhhh....I love reading the daily Gallup polll. So comforting.

However, it does appear a bit strange that Obamas numbers are way better with Gallup than with any of the other trackers. Only the non-trackers have numbers that are that good for Obama (or even better).

Obama just needs all the Gore states + NH + Colorado to win. He seems to be up by a good amount in NH and Colorado  and he's doing all right in all the Gore states.

McCain strategy seems to be concentrating on Pennsylvania, so why would Obama let him gain points by stop campaigning in the state?. It seems logical to me that if McCain is specifically targeting the state to win then Obama should spend money and time there to try and neutralize any effect McCain might be having.

Obama has money and he doesn't really need Florida, Ohio, Missouri, Nevada, Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia or Arizona to win the election. So both candidates campaigning there heavily doesn't strike as too odd in my opinion.

Why wouldn't he? It doesn't hurt him in any way. Just because Obama's ahead doesn't mean he should just sit down and forget everything or instead focus on Idaho or something.

God you're such a liar

No, I'm telling what was reported on MSNBC this morning.

I also believe that campaigns with good ground games will have their volunteers in place more than 72 hours before the election.
