This could very well skew the overall numbers to look as if the race is closer than it really is.

Plus, you have to remember that so many people no longer have land lines and that hundreds of thousands of voters are being registered every month and might not be processed in time to be included in the sample size.

Also, these new voters have no history of voting so that identifying likely voters would naturally leave these folks out.

I am confident that the efforts of the Obama Campaign over the last ten months will result in a 5-10 point national win for the good guys...
