Lieberman and Thompson were apparently very helpful.

I suppose a few punctuation marks might've been helpful.

LV (Traditional)

for McCain to win, this is what the final Gallup poll would have to look like, IMO:

RV
Obama: 49%
McCain: 44%

LV (Expanded)
Obama: 49%
McCain: 46%

LV (Traditional)
Obama: 48%
McCain: 47%

At this point McCain would probably need to be ahead by at least 2 or 3 points in the traditional voter model to account for early voting.

that brings up a question:  don't these polls query those who have already voted early?

Good point. I had been subconsciously assuming they weren't when I made that statement, but they very well might be.

We're still trying to get volunteers for Election Day in our offices here in Washington - why the hell would we stop trying to find more?

Meeker, did you send out an urgent e-mail this morning to get them?

We did last night.
