Correction: Great quote on the real state of the election so far.
Edited on Wed Aug-06-08 01:34 PM by writes3000
"It appears that you want the MSNBC viewer to believe the election is closer than it really is. Let's begin with with PA. PA Obama leads 49-42, up by seven. That is beyond the error of measurement and has had Obama leading in PA for months. Now MI. Obama leads 46-42 granted closer but beyond error of measurement and steady for months. National has Obama up by 6 and Gallup has Obama up by 4. Abramowitz takes the Gallup daily tracking poll since June 5th, creates a ten day average and has Obama up by 3-4 points. The daily variance is "statistical noise".

Sorry about that.

Chuck Todd did not make this statement.
