Unbelievable!!!!! Everything I read and hear has McLiar/Plain imploding
and Obama/Biden gathering momentum. Yet everything I see on ANY news channel, whether cable or network, has McShit-for-brains easily ahead or gaining in battleground states. Every day, McAss and Caribou Barbie make asses out of themselves but gain momentum. Go figure!

1. It takes time for events to be factored into the polls.
Right now we're still dealing with the tail end of McCain's bounce.

If a video came out showing McCain shaking hands with Darth Vader, it would take almost a week for that to show up in polling.

16. ok thats it i have had enough of this crap
darth vader was a decent person who was manipulated into the dark side by the sith lords
he is a tragic victim of his own potential and after the fire incident was left in the complete physical care of the same sith lords who turned him into a mass killer

stop crapping on vader dammit it wasnt all his fault

2. 5 to 12 days for the polls to reflect anything either way. Polls today arent about today.
Edited on Mon Sep-15-08 08:22 PM by Boz
Some say the shelf life for any poll is 20 minutes and its sale life is 2 weeks so its stale by the time you see it.

They still dont reflect the truth, because they dont measure new voter sign ups.

3. Patience. Exercise patience.
The McCain/Palin implosion is indeed happening. But even the bomb that was the Palin interview last week won't fully be realized until the end of the week. Wait and see what next weeks numbers say. I'd be shocked if Obama isn't leading by the end of the week.

4. This is how it was explained to me....
Edited on Mon Sep-15-08 07:57 PM by and-justice-for-all
See, the M$M aides the repigs by saying, falsely mind you, that the race is close..a dead tie even. It's bullshit and a fucking lie...do not pay any attention to that shit..

The purpose of this deception is so that the repigs can steal another election, if they do not spread the bullshit on good enough, it would be to obvious that the repigs stole another election. So, a very close race bullshit line is needed to sell to the poor viewers, that it is a close race.

It is a con so they can attempt to steal another election. WATCH.

5. Nah, the map reading dude on Hardball tonight said...
... and some of the McCain/Palin newly bounced states were already starting to unbounce and narrow again.

I've realized since posting here that the MSM is about a day or two behind us. Give a few more days.

9. That's correct
We here are about two days ahead of the media, and a wek or so ahead of the general public, sometimes more.

Welcome! :hi:

8. The media is still still peddling Palin as a hot new thing...
...please, she's a washed up idiot, and it's laughable that STILL the news outlets are pushing whatever her non story is for the day.

14. The media operate in a bubble and are always the last to figure things out...
which is why I don't have any idea why they are paid the big bucks for acting like gossiping giggling teenagers.

This country needs an overhaul, and the media is a big part of what needs revision. Right now, we are dealing with facists who have a hold on our Free Press rights.

18. All the media I watch has them imploding

9PM Maddow

You must be watching the wrong channel :D

Oh, in all fairness, the polls (even CNN had them even today) take a while to show progress, but are starting to move slowly but surely in the right direction.
