4. Polls are where the pollster want them to be.....
for the most part.

All they have to do is pinpoint the zip code they are calling, as well as the time they are calling.....that, and how they frame the questions gives them the latitude that they need to
paint whatever picture they need. Then the media runs with those polls, in order to play the mind game with voters....who are always more willing to support someone winning than not.

But in this case, I think that the ground game going on below the surface will tell a tale
on November 4th. I do truly believe that...which is why McCain had no choice than to get
the fundies on board......that was the only way he was going to have even a remote chance.
