I know some people are not into negative news, but I find this shit hilarious.

like this comment: "My God is still in control..and He will answer the prayers of his faithful!"

oh man I wouldn't want to know this person on Nov. 5th.

1. Sigh:

"Obama and McCain were essentially tied among likely voters in the latest George Washington University Battleground Poll, conducted by Republican strategist Ed Goeas and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. In other surveys focusing on likely voters, a Washington Post-ABC News poll showed Obama up by 9 percentage points, while a poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center had Obama leading by 14. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, among the broader category of people registered to vote, found Obama ahead by 10 points."

From the same article...

stuff like "obama is a terrorist", I could see you being pissed. but all I did was post a newspaper article, what's the big fucking deal.

3. Believers in that god should be treated the same way Soviet soldiers treated the Mujahideen...

That god is not the father of Jesus Christ; that god, should it exist, is the demiurge. Whether you imagine the demiurge to be YHWH, Satan, or something else entirely is irrelevant: It is the enemy.

4. Same poll by the same anti-Obama/pro-McCain posters all day long

Same old shit, in other words.

Go vote for your war hero and leave us alone.

5. Am I the only one who sees that Obama is up ten points, and five by registered voters?

Seriously? I don't buy the "likely voter" shit.

7. Me neither

How can one judge who is a likely voter? We cannot just simply judge from previous elections because these are unprecedented times and people are hungry for change. More than ever people understand the importance of going out and vote.

9. I don't understand why they all just don't go by registered voter--because you can't

vote unless you're registered, regardless of what your intentions might be. And like you said, it's hard to make "intentions" and "motivations" scientific, especially this year.

8. AP Poll already TWO days old, other polls showing surge for Obama 1 day old

just look at RCP. AP Poll is not that reliable, 800 sample, high >2.5% error. Sorry AP.

10. I just found the article on my own after hearing it being reported on the NovaMRadio news.

WTF?????

11. Several key points for DUrs to see in this

1. It's a poll covering the debate night through the powell endorsement, meaning it's from the time where all the emphasis was on Joe the Plumber and the "mccain come back." Mccain had a slight surge in his figures during that weekend.

2. The overall survey results show a 10 point lead for Obama, but they buried that fact deep in the article for whatever reason.

3. The headline emphasizes a "likely voter" method result which somehow turned a 10 point overall lead into a 1 point lead. The explanation is possibly that they basically removed or decreased the weighting of younger voters, with the assumption that they do not turn out. They also may have decreased the weighting of democrats who said they were only "somewhat" excited to vote, perhaps because they are in states like CA and NY. On the flip side, Mccain may have gained stronger weighting based on the relative excitement among his base during those days and thus the highest levels of "excitement" to vote.

4. Overall, surveys indicate that only 25% of Mccain's supporters are very excited about him. All the momentum and excitement is in Obama's camp... and what's most important at this point is to just get folks out to vote.

12. This is one of the headlines on Drudge right now, as might be guessed

Of course the whole article shows that Obama has a substantial lead.

14. Drudge is irrelevant

13. Just makes an Obama win more likely!
