Polls

So who do we believe? These "scientific" polls. Is the media trying to help a candidate? Trying to dissuade people to vote because it's a "lost cause".Well, today we have Obama up 7 on RCP, McCain/Obama pulling even on AP, and Obama up 3 on IBD/TIPP.  Which is why polls should be taken with a grain of salt. They create a sort of suspense, but have very little factual backing of the WHOLE United States. There was one poll who only asked 100 people...60 Registered Democrats and 40 Registered GOP...Hmmm and Obama was ahead in that one. Big surprise. I guess we will just have to wait until Election Day, to find out. Don't look at the polls too much, the popular vote doesn't win you the presidency anyways. (Tell this to Gore in 2000, and I guess pray to Tilden from 1876, and Cleveland from 1888) Some crazy things can happen in the Electoral College...So Vote! Regardless of the polls, because if you are reading this, you are informed. Good Work!
