QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 10:45 AM) So killing a father of two and leaving him die is the same as calling 911 about traffic? I love the moral equivalency. hmmmm... no. clearly you are missing the point. It's about holding one's sibling accountable for the actions of another.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 10:40 AM) Georgia in play? Obama, 48 percent McCain, 47 percent Other, 2 percent Undecided, 3 percent I want to see their cross-tabs and compare it to other pollsters, but they only supply the basics. Like, I want to see what they African American % is in their poll. We talked at length that is the Black vote is near 30%, Obama's got a REAL strong chance to squeaking out a win.

Palin: I never wore those $150,000 worth of clothes

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 22, 2008 -> 02:23 PM) Here's another Enquirer story: http://www.nationalenquirer.com/sen_joe_bi...celebrity/65619 Thoughts? So, I assume you'd hold the same standard to Joe McCain when he abused the 911 service by calling up and complaining about bad traffic? Shouldn't John be held accountable for his brother? Shouldnt John be held accountable for Joe calling the people of Northern Virginia "communists"?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 09:48 AM) Good to see the McCain campaign spending their money wisely. but dont say she's attractive. That's sexist. Call em crazy, but it almost seems like they are going out of their way to "Sex her up".

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 07:56 AM) Damn, they have it 375-157 Obama. RCP has it 375-163. 306-157 if you dont throw in "toss-up" states.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 10:02 AM) I dont think the "Big Ten Battleground Poll" is very legit, but they have Obama +10 in Indiana Public Policy Polling has Obama +2 in Indiana. SUSA confirms Obama's Indiana Lead: Obama- 49 McCain- 45

Not bad

QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 06:06 PM) prolly in between, but closer to the landslide. agreed. I call 52% or 53%. Maybe as low as 51%.

The Bushie defections continue: Former Press Secretary Scott McClellan Endorses Obama

I just got my first political poll phone call ever. 2 minutes. very local focus. It was basically age, liberal / moderate / conservative, party identification, likelihood of voting, Obama or McCain, Paul Froelich or Anita Anita Forte-Scott

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 04:33 PM) He films quite nicely with green backgrounds.

Speaking of the Obama rally, McCain isnt even going to his: That sounds a bit pessimistic if you ask me.

Chicago GOP to "Counter Program" the Obama rally: Really? Are they actively trying to start a riot? Why not hold it out here in Schaumburg? Across the street?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) IBD/ TIPP has the race at Obama +1.1. Don't worry, Obama supporters. Something is very, very wrong with their model. http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/10/wha...e.html#comments "IBD/TIPP is applying a very stringent likely voter model that removes you from the sample if you haven't voted in the past two elections, which would rule a great number of 18-24 year olds out." WOW! yea, that's a little ridiculous. That would even factor out those who voted for the first time in 2004. FYI: Hugh Hewitt is on CNN right now using the poll as proof the race is very close.

Something I just thought of: Bob Barr is from Georgia. High African American turnout will make Georgia a near tie between Obama and McCain. Barr is bound to get a nice percentage of votes. Even if he only gets 5%, that MIGHT be enough votes away from McCain to move Obama ahead. The CNN/Time poll has 98% voting for McCain or Obama. That poll has McCain at 53%. If 5% shifted to Barr, It's McCain 48%, Obama 47%.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) Couldn't we just get rid of this guy like they did with Davis in California a few years back? What was that, a recall or something? Maybe we can get Jean Claude Van Damme to replace him. Illinois doesnt have a recall process, but it has been talked about very heavily. It's part of the reason they want to hold a constitutional convention. I dont think it'll happen. We'll just have to vote his rear end out in 2 years.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 01:56 PM) Congrats on the newborn. Trying to convince my wife that we should name our first born Bigsqwert Hussein. I favor Zamboni

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 01:59 PM) I also find it a bit hypocritical that Mr 10 house and 11 cars and Mrs $150K wardrobe have the gall to be calling others elitists. I'd be willing to bet Cindy McCain thinks she's better than a lot of people. Oh, and so McCain thinks he's a better presidential candidate than Obama, so McCain thinks he's better than Obama. Wouldnt that make him... well... elitist?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 01:45 PM) Pfft. Some Obama fan you are staying at home. I have a good excuse... newborn. lol I told my wife we are on a spending freeze, I dont think train tickets or downtown parking is going to fly with her.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 01:38 PM) You like SUSA, AHB? Obama +12 in PA. yea, sow that earlier. Pretty much confirms every other poll this month that shows Obama up double digits. PA is over in my opinion. This idea that McCain is pulling out of CO to go all in in PA is just dumb.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 01:21 PM) absentee/ early voting, right? that is what is going to be hard to figure, in my opinion. although.... I wonder if pollsters might be working early voting locations.

I should note, I'll have my laptop ready to go on election night with SoxTalk open and my exit poll spread sheet ready to go. As soon as I fill in the data on my end, it'll be posted here.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 12:47 PM) Obama leading in Montana per Montana State University-Billings survey: Obama 44, McCain 40 Dates conducted: Oct. 17-20. Error margin: 5 points A poll conducted the day before shows McCain +4. So, who knows. I'm not really all too focused on Montana. But hey, Bush won MT with 59% of the vote in 2004. Kerry didnt even crack 40%. Every poll since Oct 1 has Obama over 40%.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 12:42 PM) the oddity appeared because people took the mid-day exit polls and published them and said "Oh, Kerry won!" that happened a lot with some of this years primaries. When the official exit polls are released when polls close, they are usually already weighted. They dont go back and revise them later.
