....this was discussed at great length when the pollsters made the switch from the Registered Voter model to the Likely Voter model right after the first debate. The pollsters and the media immediately claimed at that point that Dems were less enthusiastic than GOPers, and were therefore less likely to vote than the far more enthusiastic GOPers.

Did you not notice the supposed drop in support for the President and the increase for Romney as soon as the polls made the switch? Did you not notice the supposed drop in women and Latino voters for Obama?

Just curious, but we voted our numbers in 2008....what makes you think we won't do the same in a few days?
