#1 I really hope this guy is right too. I have never believed the BO press or polls. Former Secretary of State Eagleburger referred to BO as a con-man and charlatan on FOX TV.

#2 I think the public polls are wrong and McCain has a good shot of pulling this thing out. But the above internal poll numbers claimed simply can't be accurate.

"Pennsylvania: McCain 55% - Obambi 33%"?
Please.

#3 In case McCain wins it would be a major blunder verging to treason let trhe things stay like they are. McCain should use his prtesidency to dismantle all the connections who made an Obama possible. Acorn, the daed voters, unions using their members money, people allowed to vote without a credential with photo, financing from foreign countries.

Half the democratic party and probably a few republicans too should end at Leavenworth

#4 Michigan makes no sense.

If McCain's internals are showing him ahead in Michigan, why did he stop campaigning there? I don't recall him sending Romney there even.

#5 Word i get from sister in MI is that while folks are spouting Obambi, the McPalin yard signs are sprouting. and ever since the famous Joe the Plumber episode, they have been growing ever faster ( don't pissoff Joe Six Pak / blue collar. despite what the union tells you to do)

#6 The only thing I'll say on CA is that we have a young friend who moved to CA earlier this year and most everyone she has talked to in the LA area was for McCain.

#7 I think that CA could be a shocker. Who is the one group that we heard so much about awhile back, how they were going to have such a big impact on this election, yada, yada, ad nauseum. And then suddenly... silence. And since then, it is as though this demographic no longer even exists. Hear the wind blow. I've been listening for it and I have not heard ONE SINGLE COMMENT about this very large group and their impact on this election.

Can you guess who I'm talking about? Hint - they will have the biggest impact in CA and FL.

#9 Hispanics!

That said, someone just told me that NPR says they are breaking for Obama ~70-30. Hmmm. I haven't heard ANYTHING about hispanics. Not one word! But maybe I'll have to eat crow pie on this. Has anyone else heard anything?

#10 Ok - I went out and did a bit of googling. Back around the end of the year there were multiple articles touting the hispanics. Most of these were sourced to real surveys. Then, not so much except in the last couple of days CNN and NPR claim they are all breaking for Obama. I don't consider those reliable sources. Also big claims from a poll paid for by the Obama campaign.

Anyway... we'll find out in the next 48 hours.

#11 The problem is commercial polls are show Obama retaking and widening his lead over McCain since the financial meltdown.

As for Hispanics, most will vote for the One who promises $2700 (or was it $3600) a year free, to them, money disguised as a tax rebate.

#12 I hope you guys are right. If McCain wins then I will give up something - Like Sex "What dear ? - oh I already gave that up. Have to think of something else - not beer somthing else

#14 Or quit, stop paying the mortgage and live on tax rebates and government cheese.

#15 well the internals don't measure underage or dead voters or illegal aliens, etc.

these demographic groups will probably go 90% for Obama

#16 Imaginary-Americans go for Obama 120%. ;-)

#17 You all may want to check the AOL Straw poll, it is uhm, interesting (a McCain-Palin landslide??) We still need to get out and vote.
