So this morning is the MSM still trying to say the race is "closing"
When we had, what, four or five polls yesterday showing Obama with a double-digit lead?

1. No way it is as "close" as they make it out to be. nm

2. We all better hope for a lack of complacency.
Voter turnout will be the key.

3. I think early turnout proves that dems are motivated no matter what.

4. They're remarkably silent on that this morning...
...but they're spending quite a bit of time on Biden's remarks...at least as much as on what the polls are telling them about Palin's negatives, etc. They'll be back to that in a few days when those more one-sided polls drop off the "most recent" list and they have another closer one that comes in fresh...I can almost guarantee it. Then, surprise, another round of ABC/NBC/CBS, etc polls will come out--probably next Tuesday--to squash their "shrinkage" meme once again.

6. When was the last time a candidate was 10 points down with less than 2 weeks to go
Better question when has a 10 point lead ever been considered close?
