stuckincincy Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Zogby has it down to 4 points (as of Tuesday), Battleground and IBD/TIPP has it down to 3, Rasmussen has it down to 5..And before anyone says look at the state polls - I want to remind everyone that state polls take a little time to tighten after national trends...I'd say look on Friday.... I am not saying McCain will win but iw will be closer than some think! Electronic voting is the law of the land, and the paper trails are far and few between. No paper recounts. Businesses, individuals, ISPs, operating system vendors are in a daily fight against attacks. These dumb, static voting machines don't stand a chance against being diddled with. Add in the explosion of absentee votes heavily pushed for by the Democrats - here in OH, the expectation is that 1 on 3 are such.
X. Benedict Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 In other words, it's pretty good at predicting things that have already happened? Take Miami over Buffalo this past Sunday. They are a lock.
DC Tom Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Take Miami over Buffalo this past Sunday. They are a lock. The Dow closed up 900, from which I predict that US Steel will close up 14% today...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 In other words, it's pretty good at predicting things that have already happened? McCain himself couldn't have predicted Palin until an hour before he announced her. They hadn't actually really met more than 15 minutes at a breakfast.
/dev/null Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Well, right now 11, 000 Colorado voters are awaiting "missing" absentee ballots. Anoter 16,000 Colorado voters were illegally purged by their secretary of state (law suit pending). And 200, 000 voters in Ohio don't have registration data that matches national data bases PRECISELY, thus inhibiting THEIR ability to vote- case currently being pursued by the Federal Government. And Leon is getting laaaaaaarger
The Big Cat Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 And Leon is getting laaaaaaarger Though your Airplane reference made me lol, I hope you're not plopping a tinfoil hat on my head.
DC Tom Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Though your Airplane reference made me lol, I hope you're not plopping a tinfoil hat on my head. A hat...or a brooch...or a pterodactyl...
Wacka Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I want my royalties! I used the Leon line a few months ago.
Ted Striker Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Though your Airplane reference made me lol, I hope you're not plopping a tinfoil hat on my head. USING AIRPLANE REFERENCES ON THIS BOARD?!? Surely, you can't be serious!
/dev/null Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Interesting article from the Las Vegas Review Journal on results from early voting in Nevada. Obama's new voters aren't turning up quite as strongly as predicted http://www.lvrj.com/news/33494194.html

In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Interesting article from the Las Vegas Review Journal on results from early voting in Nevada. Obama's new voters aren't turning up quite as strongly as predicted http://www.lvrj.com/news/33494194.html "I would have expected those numbers to be a little higher," Damore said. "At the same time, the people who come out for early voting may tend to be the tried and true."
The Big Cat Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 He is . . and don't call him Shirley Pretty sure Striker has been waiting 17 hours for this EXACT response!
Johnny Coli Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Interesting article from the Las Vegas Review Journal on results from early voting in Nevada. Obama's new voters aren't turning up quite as strongly as predicted http://www.lvrj.com/news/33494194.html Yet the rest of the article goes on to show the huge discrepency between the registered Dems vs the registered Reps that have voted early, in record numbers. Early voting turnout continues to be high overall. Through the end of voting Monday, more than 334,000 voters had cast ballots statewide, including 242,000 in Clark County and 59,000 in Washoe County. Statewide turnout is up to 29 percent, according to the secretary of state's office. In the urban counties, Democrats continue to turn out at higher rates than Republicans. In Clark County, 54 percent of those who voted through Monday were Democrats, 29 percent Republicans. In Washoe County, 51 percent of voters through Monday were Democrats, while 33 percent were Republicans. This early voter "landslide" or "avalanche" as the media is calling it is tallied pretty well by this site run by a Prof at George Mason U (2008 Early Voting) The Dems have a significant advantage in early votes in almost every state that has early voting.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Pretty sure Striker has been waiting 17 hours for this EXACT response! I think you're right.
swede316 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Late money seems to be on McCain...Dropped $2.00 ($9 to $7) in 24 hours... What do the bookies know that we don't? $7.00 ....Might be worth a $500 bet on McCain hmmmm? http://centrebet.com/cust?action=GoSports

Those voting machines must be more convenient than the charcoal markings on a wooden plank that you had to use to vote for John Quincy Adams, right?
