3. Didn't the McCain campaign just visit Wisconsin? Maybe I'm wrong.

If so, they're doing a heck of a job.

[Bushfire]

10. Yup, in Waukesha

earlier visits in Cedarburg, and Green Bay. All hotbeds of racial diversity. :sarcasm:

4. I fully expect the McCain staff to pull out of Wisconsin soon...

Rumor had it they were, which is actually pretty funny since they had basically two offices in the whole state, compared to Obama's 25 or so.

Hell, I want Obama to win by 27%!

8. Yeah, I think he'll pull out Wisconsin too

Add that to Michigan and probably Pennsylvania, McCain won't have any blue states to go after soon.

5. Obama polls well in states with a lot of Scandanavians and Germans

Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Minnesota.

all ALL of mcPeckers ads are negative. obama is more 50/50. and his placement SUCKS. don't buy law &order time dude. we are smarter than the stupids.

11. Our drunken ex-governor and HHS man Tommy Thompson just backed

away from McCain after opening the McSame/Failin roadshow here in Wisco. Not because he opposes racism mind you, just that he thinks his economic plan and entire campaign are not too good.

I hope this poll is right. Of course, I plan to canvass with SEIU until Nov 4th to do my part to make it so.

12. The poll numbers don't add up.

How is it possible that we keep gaining ground on the state polls, but this is barely reflected in the national numbers?

There couldn't be that many offsetting votes in Idaho, Louisiana, and Alabama.

Something doesn't add up. You cannot have true double-digit leads in the key swing states and be in the 6ish range nationwide.
