Take these numbers and -5 to -10.

Haha you are funny. So how much does McCain pay you?

Hacktard.

I am not a hack. You on the other hand are. Even poll that comes out that is good for Obama you write off as wrong or they are paid by the Obama camp.

That's libel, my friend.  Be careful.

I have never once said a poll was paid for by the Obama campaign.  My issue is the LV model this year, which seems to presume the same BS that the media presumes every year -- that young voters will sweep the Democrat to victory.  They are expecting that swing to be substantial; I expect it to be more in line with 1-2%, above and beyond the anti-GOP and anti-Bush effects.

I see the race being 51-47 today, closing in the next week, with the key swing states being VA, NM, CO, NV, and MO.  I have NM and CO going Obama, MO and NV going McCain, and VA as a pure tossup.

If you think that's offbase, fine.  "We'll see."

If you want to believe Uni polls, polls with demonstrated Democratic leans, and new/foreign pollsters, by all means, believe away.

I don't believe post at all, none of them. But I don't write off polls. I think OH, NV and FL will not go to Obama. But I do believe VA and NC will go to Obama.

Then we differ on NC.  I do think VA is a pure tossup on Election Day, tho.

NC could go both ways, but with the AA voters coming out like they have been and the young kids too, I don't think McCain can win. I could be wrong, but we will have to see. VA would have went to McCain if he went to NE VA, but he did. But the state that I really want to keep an eye on is NM.
