Ed Rollins just said the national polls are tightening up
I don't know that I have seen evidence of that. Anyone else see this happening?

2. Nope. Not true.
Go to fivethirtyeight.com

Obama is the highest he's ever been. He's a 9:1 favorite to win the election.

14. Rollins said that the National Polls are
getting tighter and the state polls will reflect this in a couple of weeks since the state polls are a little behind the national polls.

He also said that the Rebups were in their goal line stand with Obama getting set to score a touchdown.

3. They put out a Zogby poll showing Obama ahead by 3....
and the CBS poll has him up by 3 as well, I believe.

The purpose of those polls is to bring down Obama's average.
They hope non stop talk about this dumb issue Ayers will bring it down some more.

19. CBS poll says 4 pt gap
last week it said it was 5 pt gap. Not much of a difference. CBS for some reason always has the race 3 points closer than every other poll.

Zogby lacks credibility.

13. i think Ed Rollin's ass is the only thing that's "tightening up". I can hear the clinching all the
way in California.

20. Wish it and it will be so?
It's called "suggestion" and it's a sign of a desperate campaign.

21. That's just Ed's sphincter. He has a tough time differentiating between a poll and a hole.

22. RealClearPolitics has showed a very slight tightening of their national average of the polls
Last night it had Obama with about a 6% lead, right now it's 5.5%

23. an attempt to manipulate groupthink
If you have noticed there is not one second of Obama's Mile High speech seen anywhere anymore. Can't let people remember that remarkable event. Can't let people think is is okay, or cool, to like him.

I think when this is all over and Obama wins (knocks on wood) THAT weekend will be what did it. McCain's disasterous Palin pick and then Obama's huge speech.
