Obama loses
He had a lead in all the polls, but his lead was due to younger voters who traditionally do not show up to vote.

This is the talking point from the media. He tried, nice go at it there young black man but the country just wasn't ready for you.

Fuck, I hope I'm so wrong.

3. Polls don't include younger voters.
They survey registered and likely voters with landline phones.

10. Yep, younger voters are already underrated
If they - we - do show up, it will just be an even bigger blowout.

12. My guess is you're wrong, but you know what? If this country elects McCain/Palin...
...then it deserves what it gets. I've got options.

13. I f his lead in polls is due to youth alone--they are among the
largest group least likely to be polled due to dependence on cell phones and thus UNDERREPRESENTED in the traditional phone polls (which is most of them)... A recent study showed as much as a 3% difference, (as I recall) in polls due to the effect of cell phones being missed...

Now, I'm not going on any limbs nor allowing myself to get overly confident or smug. But, do keep this in mind when you are tempted to post threads starting with "OBAMA LOSES." Otherwise, I'm going to reach my right arm through your computer screen and throttle you! :evilgrin:
