25. It's NOT all a matter of state polling
national polls affect public opinion and public perception. They influence how undecided voters vote. This is an issue social scientists have studied extensively. By influencing public perception, national polls will also influence whether Republicans can get away with stealing the election or whether the public will not believe the vote totals if the election is stolen.

RE: the Kerry comments. I have already acknowledged Obama is in a better position than Kerry was in. If nothing changes between now and Tuesday, my guess is the election won't be stolen because things are not close enough. But if the polls, especially national polls, tighten by 2-3 more points, I'd be less confident.
