3. Incredible!
I'll bet the McCain camp internal polls show worse results for them than this.

4. Wow! The Freepers are clinging to the CBS and Hotline polls like
frightened little baby spider monkeys, so I hope this rudely intrudes into their "reality".

8. I think this should put concerns to rest
The Hotline poll was just a voter ID shift, and the CBS poll seems to be the outlier.

10. Shrugging off McDesperate
and the pallin' around meme.

As we discussed before I wouldn't be surprised by some tightening...but VERY happy so far. If the McCain "nucular" flops, he doesn't have any more tools in the box.

13. STOP celebrating..........
1. There is 4 weeks to go. ANYTHING can happen. (Think Bin Laden video.)
2. We really don't know WHO shows up to vote on election day, the only poll that matters.
3. Three other polls, Zogby, CBS, and Hotline, show a tightening race. Only Gallup and Rasmussen show this wide of a lead.

Okay, hopefully now, no one is getting too complacent, long way to go folks, it's a VERY close race.

17. Thank you for your "concern"...

BTW, you're wrong on point 3. R2K has Obama up by 11.

23. point is people should act like it's tied....
I fully expect some sort of REAL October surprise, such as a video of Bin Laden endorsing Obama......Bush/McCain are planning something, they have to be....

16. These Results are 100% Post-Kitchen Sink
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are all post-mudlsingfest.

It ain't workin' for the McCryptster.

18. Actually, the Ayers-fest only began on Sunday...
...meaning that the first day to fully pick it up would be Monday, and the first results to include it would be today. We won't have a full tracking result of post-StormyWeatherman data until Thursday morning.

25. Bingo
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were full on hatefest days, and McCain hasn't budged things.
