Might as well give up folks...the Internals look bad...
Edited on Mon Oct-27-08 12:33 PM by brooklynite
Yes, according to a Conservative in Canada, who amazingly enough knows an insider in the Obama campaign high enough up to know their entire range of internal polling, and disloyal enough to spill the beans, we should pretty much stop trying...

she said the results of their polling lead her to believe that McCain will definitely win FL, OH, NC, MO and NV. She says Obama definitely wins New Mexico. She said that Colorado and New Hampshire were absolute dead heats. She said she thinks there is a 55% chance Obama holds on in Pennsylvania and a 75% chance McCain wins Virginia.

She absolutely laughed at the public polls showing Obama leading Virginia–and pointed out that all of those polls rely on Dem turnout being +4 and as much as +7, when in 2006, Republicans actually had the advantage by +3. She also pointed out that the numbers for Obama in SWVA look absolutely awful and that McCain is running 10 points better then Allen did in NoVa.

Anyway, her companies conclusion is that the election will come down to Colorado, New Hampshire and the Republican leaning district in Maine, which in her opinion might very well decide the Presidency (apparently the district in Nebraska that Obama thought he might be able to get is now off the table). She said she has very little doubt that the public polling is part of a “concerted voter suppression effort” by the MSM. She said IBD/TIPP was the only outfit doing public polling that was “worth a bucket of warm pxxs”.

Is one of the sites pimping the "fake birth certificate" myth. They're known liars.

8. Wow, Canda Free Press is so informative.
After this article I think I'm going to read more of this impeccable journalism. These look interesting:

"Campaign (or) Coup d’état The Obamessiah Movement"

"San Francisco: the Epicenter of Stupid Ideas"

"If Babies Had Feathers We Would Not Kill Them"

"Obama Communist Terrorist Race War"

9. wow, they're having to sneak good polling "news" over the border to GOPers

14. I love it when wingers try to convince us they're winning
It builds up complacency in the right - and I say, the more the better! Make the crazies believe they don't have to get out and vote - works for me!

Canadians for McCain makes as much sense as Blacks or gays for McCain.

23. "WOOT WOOT WOOT"?
How professional. :eyes:

Even if I were to believe him, then believe his source, it would be just another pollster. IBDs numbers are a joke -- 36% independents? C'mon.

Edited on Mon Oct-27-08 02:40 PM by Mystery2Me
The Repugs will quote this as a source. The MSM will then repeat it as a talking point, again citing the source as being a "reliable Canadian" publication, etc. That's how the media cycle works. :puke:

31. At this point, none of this crap matters
There aren't 10 voters who are going to be swayed to vote one way or the other by whatever any poll, pundit or whack-job says right now. Polls showing a close race will simply work to push more voters to the polls, and that can't be anything but good for Obama.

final week. Conservative rag stuff should not be posted here.

What a load of freeper BS.

Don't listen to this person who is just trying to get you to sit it out - classic pyschological warfare technique.
