OK, shit turds from the media, in case you haven't been paying attention, nobody is paying attention to you anymore. Ya see, since you failed to do your job over the past eight, ruinous years most folks tune you out.

Polls show Obama-McCain race tight as campaign begins

(CNN) -- A poll of polls on Thursday showed John McCain and Barack Obama locked in a virtual dead heat as the presidential general election campaign got under way.

Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, held a narrow 2 point lead over his Republican counterpart among registered voters, 47 percent to 45 percent, according to CNN's average of four recent national polls. Nearly 10 percent said they were undecided.

1. Get used to polls that don't say what we want them to say . . .
And realize two things: 1) polls *do* influence other voters, so we MUST care about them, and 2) ultimately the only poll that matters will be taken on November 4.

3. They're setting the stage for a "tight race" and a percentage flip. Again.


We can't be complacent. They're getting ready to steal another one.

4. "locked in a virtual dead heat" HA! yeah right!!
M$M polls are nothing but propaganda. Polls, in general, should be taken with a grain of salt.
