This bullshit rumor about PA internals..

[Joe the Revelator]

There is a rumor going around pro-McCain sights that the obama campaign accidentally "leaked" their state internals which showed the race much closer then the MSM polls.

Any validity to this.

And just so you know, I'm not concerned.

1. the damn leaky campaign apparatus that obama has been running...

yeah, that's where the 'info' came from...

4. Hey it was on KOS as well, the only reason I'm giving it any validity.

2. that would be a hell of a sneaky tactic, to release some BS poll numbers

3. Where is this rumor from?

6. Anything to keep them hoping.

They already hit the iceberg and the stern of the ship is pointing straight at the sky.

They think the ballasts will kick in any minute.

McCain has crashed another ship.

And they are all going down with it (save the Powell's, Buckely's, Smerconish's of the world who abandoned ship like the rats they are).

7. maybe this a convolution of Ed Rendell's remarks...

8. I was on a call with PA Obama staff about a week ago

And they also said the race was closer than the public polls showed. They may have been trying to make it look close to encourage us not to get complacent, but they did say that it was closer than it looked.

10. I haven't seen anything...

but I always go by where the candidate is to determine what their internals are.


Anyway, I'm not convinced that internals are THAT MUCH BETTER than polls from a good public pollster.


I remember during the Primary, Hillary's internals showed her WAY AHEAD in Indiana and close in North Carolina. Both turned out to be untrue!

12. Obama doesn't seem to be worried thats the proof he hasn't been in PA over a week

[Marsala]

11. There have been a lot of second and thirdhand stories about Obama internals

Personally, I think they're all either traps to fool the Repukes or attempts to fight off complacency, especially in Pennsylvania which is the state most endangered by complacency.

[DrToast]

13. Yes, I believe it's closer than some think...

I don't know if it's in jeopardy, but I do think it's much closer than the public polls suggest.

14. Ask your selves this

Since Obama has been campaigning for President have you every heard of his campaign leaking information, he has ran one of the tightest campaign in history. And even if it was leaked don't you find it a little peculiar this man runs a tight ship you never hear about member in his campaign talking outside of the box, if this is true it must be a strategy.

15. Quick! Call Joe the Plumber! He'll fix that leak!

[OmahaBlueDog]

16. If I were up 2x digits in a state, I'd leak that too

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

17. I could be a

for McKlan.

18. I heard at Obama HQ here that it's close, but..

a DUer said an e-mail was sent out with false numbers to try to prevent complacency. Wouldn't be surprised if that's where the info. was obtained.
