There are three types of voters IMO:
* Those who are unhappy and angry and want Shaden Freude by chopping down the tall poppy
* Those who are like Nate Walsh and can't be bothered to get out of bed
* Those who are unhappy and want a better country
(Google Nate Walsh if you don't know who he is)
zzd,Is this really about to happen in America? God help us.
As you likely know Drudge is a conservative commentator and as such will usually present data that paints the best conservative light on the issue. What Drudge fails to note is that Gallup has several polling methods and his Likely-Traditional Voters is only one and is the one that least likely represents the composition of the current voting group.

As you can see the other methods paint a less rosy picture for McCain (the final poll is for registered voters):
Surely zzd you'll accept that the best evidence is the most recent evidence - (as in "Likely Voters Expanded") that more Dems will vote than previously - already form the majority of early voterszzd said:The (traditional) likely voter scenario is the one they have always used in the past, and worked pretty well, so, I'll go with that one
gg from Sarah Palin thread said:Won't you leftie MNBC watchers be so upset when McCain and Palin sneak over the line.
Washington aristocrats and posting wannabees watch out.
The polls are turning.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Barack Obama attracting 50% of the vote nationwide while John McCain earns 47%. This is the first time McCain has been within three points of Obama in more than a month and the first time his support has topped 46% since September 24 (see trends). One percent (1%) of voters prefer a third-party option and 2% are undecided.
The real problem, we’ve been told, lay with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In fact, however, ACORN is at the base of the whole mess. ACORN used CRA and Democratic sympathizers to entangle Fannie and Freddie and the entire financial system in a disastrous disregard of the most basic financial standards. And Barack Obama cut his teeth as an organizer and politician backing up ACORN’s economic madness every step of the way.

Only one outlier poll has it in double digits.
2020 - I clicked on your signature and was pleasantly surprised at the video. I've always been a big Roger Miller fan. Polar opposites can sometimes have something in common, I guess.
Voters Not Eager for One-Party Control of Government
... McCain has tried to remind voters that electing Obama as president to go along with a Democratically-controlled Congress would give the Democratic Party control of the federal government.
That argument appears to resonate, as voters appear reluctant to want to give one party full control of the government regardless of who is elected president
"But the final day on the campaign trail was rooted in sadness. Obama learned early Monday morning that his maternal grandmother, the only survivor among the adults who shaped his young life in Hawaii, had died overnight at age 86."

Barack Obama's grandmother died early this morning.
I feel for him as she was like a mother to him for many years. At a critical point in the campaign this happens 1 day before the election.
What this shows his tremendous ability to decompartmentalise
Doing what he has fought for over many years.
Grieving internally is hard enough let alone on the stage of the world.
This should show people that he is steady, focused, and able to lead with fortitude without coming apart.
