1. That's why the RWers are talking up an alleged McCain surge...
...it's a lame attempt at a psych-out.:thumbsdown:

I'm very confident we'll prevail, Frenchie.:patriot:

2. I am too. But I'm concerned for the morale of those who seem addicted......
especially those who won't admit it.

McCain is an inferior candidate no matter what he does.
There are enough of us that understand this......

We only need Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Iowa.

11. They are afraid with good reason, and believe that polls give them control.....
and that is what polster are betting on as well.....as does the media.

7. "McCain’s win percentage is down to 2.8 percent, his lowest number of the year."
Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

5. I haven't been paying attention this time
although that's partly because Obama is securely ahead in my "swing" state. Last time I thought Kerry would eke by based on the polls...

10. What's the big deal if they panic a little
it'll just make em work that much harder.

13. Isn't it?
I've always liked Samuel L Jackson, but he's now a true blue hero.
