#1 ...I'm beginning to think that those 'Obama up by 10' polls were relying on a whole bunch of fraudulent votes.

#2 Mike,

It's part of the MSM's voter suppression effort. To demoralize the opposition. We've seen the effect here at the 'burg with the hand wringing and moaning. The object in war is to destroy your opponents will to resist. Give them credit, it does appear to be working to a degree. Me, I'll be voting whether they like it or not. And I don't need John McCain to lead me or do the fighting, I'll do that myself.

#3 Mike, the polls are structurally independent from the fictitious registrations. If the pollsters call a fictitious voter, she isn't going to pick up the phone, because she don' exist. Trust me, I've been making campaign calls. The rolls are full of dead numbers and wrong numbers.

The polls *might* be queered by their theory of the composition of this year's electorate. In fact, they probably are. But it's not an easily-gamed problem, unless the pollsters are deliberately thumbing the scales. The "the-polls-are-all-wrong" tack wasn't exactly fruitful in 2006, after all.

They're still giving us the "our internals look nothing like the published polls" line in the campaign office, and I appreciate the morale-boosting for what it is, but I'm not really convinced.

Enjoy your life on the Rez, folks.

You mean the polls that had Obama in the lead, then McCain, then Obama suddenly up by 10. The ones that vary from pollster to pollster by margins of greater than 7%. Tight is not a term I'd used for this years performance by them. The only science that could be is the one in SWAG.

#5 Make no mistake. Brunner is a dem with an obvious agenda.

#6 You could just ask them to present a form of ID, but apparently that would be unAmerican by the objections I have heard.
