(CNN) — As late polls continue to shows Barack Obama with an edge over John McCain in key battleground states, the Arizona senator’s campaign manager told reporters Friday the Republican nominee had momentum heading into the race’s closing days.

"We fight back," campaign manager Rick Davis said on a conference call, echoing McCain’s recent stump speech. "And we are witnessing, I believe, probably one of the greatest comebacks since John McCain won the primaries."

The latest CNN national poll of polls shows that Senator Barack Obama is at 50 per cent to McCain's 43 per cent, with 7 percent undecided. But Davis said surveys are irrelevant in the race’s homstretch.

"Guess what? Polling isn't accumulative," he said. "It's whatever it is today, and we see a very, very tight race today, so it really doesn't matter where it was ten days ago."

1. What else can they say?

No campaign has ever said they were going to lose.

2. Polling is accumulative when so much of the country has been voting for 10 days or more.

Dummy.

I think I'm going to just work on this Sara Palin PBS poll until election day. It might bring about some balance in my life. :rofl:

"It's whatever it is today, and we see a very, very tight race today, so it really doesn't matter where it was ten days ago."


So where exactly do they see this information? In their Crystal balls?

8. ten days ago the McCain campaign said there was "tightening" too

So I call bullshit on Race Card Davis.

9. Did he go the Palin Speech School?

"Guess what? Polling isn't accumulative," he said. "It's whatever it is today, and we see a very, very tight race today, so it really doesn't matter where it was ten days ago."
:wtf:

Has he looked at the daily polls? Not a very tight race, Ricky D.

13. This is obviously the talking point of the day

All of their surrogates are saying it. I think what's happening is the confidence is low among their electorate that they're doing anything to keep those people perked up, even if they have to sugar-coat it for them.
