McCain/Palin can still win this but everyone must get to the polls and vote on November 4th. No pouting and no sour grapes. It’s not over until we say it’s over, and it’s definitely not over!

So why is it that I’ve seen McCain Surrogates in the last 3 days going out blowing the horn that the Republicans are gonna lose their behinds because everything is going against them so send us you money and campaign for us anyway….how are they helping the Party and or their candidate with that crap?

It’s not bad enough that McCain has blown every opportunity till now to take the fight to the enemy and is mavericking his way to a loss in November…It’s not enough that the squishes running his campaign have stood on Sarahs neck and almost ruined her by over scripting her and not allowing her to be the Conservative she is…but McCain seems to be incapable of not attacking Republicans and or helping them win…and/or minimizing losses in the House and Senate…

I’m livid with this campaign!

Not so McCain…

I don’t want to be gloom and doom but in San Antonio anyway…things don’t look good based on the anecdotal evidence I see here.

In light of your diary here, I would amend a statement I have made to “The only poll that counts is the one on November 4, but all the other polls are important and you dismiss them at your peril.”

You will admit that the poll taken on Nov. 4 is the only one that will result in the award of elective office. This is the poll we must focus our energies on winning.

We already know the game is rigged. BigMedia is manufacturing their own news complete with polls and ObamAcorn is manufacturing their own votes. The BigMedia polls that will be/are/have been taken and blasted at us ad nauseum, are to serve the purpose of discouraging Republicans from going to the polls while simultaneously measuring the results of same for the Democrats and BigMedia. In that respect they are instructive but suspect as predictive. The narrative surrounding this is exetremely important and needs maximum exposure but actual poll results have limited utility to Republicans due to congenital defects.

Voter turnout will be critical to either candidate in winning the upcoming election and it is that which moves polls and voter butts from divan to polling booth that needs amplification.

Since we have opted not to manufacture our own votes, (I understand it’s a felony), it is imperative that the Republican message is enunciated loudly and clearly.

Obama this and Obama that will dither daily poll results, but will not move those butts to vote without being buttressed by the Republican message of who we are and the values and principles we stand for. It is that message that differentiates us from the Democrats. We must be careful not to drown that message out in a frenzy to move polls that don’t count.

The poll I would like to see:

Have you voted in the last three elections? Yes/no

Will you be voting in the upcoming election? Yes/no

Will you be voting Republican? Yes/no

Really? Yes/no

Important Notice:

As the Democrats are the home team this election cycle, Republicans will vote first on November 4 with Democrats voting last on Nov. 5.

Thank you for your cooperation,

The Commissioner

And recommended.

OTOH: Was in Vegas over the weekend, saw several Obama shirts, doesn’t mean NV is going Obama.

I try not to sound like a Pollyanna but it seems as though Obama’s questionable campaign financing and unsavory associates are starting to stick to him a little. His teflon suit is getting nicked and scratched and the Sun-Times reports on their website that “Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to indefinitely postpone Tony Rezko’s sentencing on corruption charges — admitting for the first time they are undergoing discussions with the political fund-raiser.”

McCain/Palin can still win this but everyone must get to the polls and vote on November 4th. No pouting and no sour grapes. It’s not over until we say it’s over, and it’s definitely not over!

Add that to your list Martin.

Not many around huh? I live in TX and we were poluted with Buch/Cheney bumper stickers and yard signs in 2000 and 2008. Didn’t see many Dole Kemp stickers or signs in 1996 though there were several in the church parking lot. I don’t see any McCain bumper stickers in church either.

This congress and this party has done more to destroy this party and squandered more opportunities in the last 4 years than in the last 70 years combined…I’m embarrassed to call myself a Republican any more…

That is why along with Operation Chaos from El Rushbo the MORON Pollsters think these R’s have turned to D’s PERMANTLY

But I do agree that polls are good for showing trends and momentum. No matter how you slice it, the momentum has been toward Obama the last few weeks. I think it is important to fight like you are behind if you want to win.

Using the old football analogy, the prevent defense only prevents you from winning.

The Wall Street Journal is hardly a friend of the Big Bro! I doubt they like the results of their own poll, but even if NBC does help to pay for it, I doubt the WSJ would openly allow a large left-wing bias to show up!

Still, the odds are good that it is probably still biased somewhat and so I, at least, agree with you, and with other commentators, that such polls can be used to demoralize us.

But I do believe e.g. the polls showing outrage against the bail-out being at 2/3 was probably close to being accurate, and so McCain lost an opportunity to run against the Bail-Out Dem Congress. Assuming that all the polls were wrong in showing a large degree of outrage is an assumption with great peril!

Strelnikov we’ve seen three polls today that show McCain within four; four is doable.

I’m saying McCain is building support; he lost support last week among Rep over the bailout; he had to hold his fire until it was signed.

Now that it has been, the gloves are off. He will go down fighting, and his base will go down with him. No one is declaring victory; we’re just saying fight, fight, fight!

Turn out! Turn out! Turn out!

I have changed quite a few minds this election with the type of information I have provided on the bias in polls and how they will become clearer within 2 weeks because the lying pollsters want to gain some credibility.

I however do not JUST bring up the lying polls, I show people media bias as well and again have changed minds though I must admit the MSM media is making it easy because they don’t even hide their bias anylonger….as a foot soldier in this Presidential battle I will continue to USE whatever I find relevent and you can do the same.

We have gone through endless reasons why: fatigue with Republicans/W, believing the lies of Big Brobama because of media bias, younger voters voting for the younger and more telegenic man, etc. etc. etc.

So what is McCain supposed to do with the information from such polls? How does he handle a poll saying that Obama can handle the economy better than he can, despite all evidence to the contrary?

Or that people believe in Big Brobama’s class warfare agitprop?

Too often we have seen McCain follow the poll and become more like Big Brobama: fire the head of the SEC, blame Wall Street greed, more regulation instead of less but BETTER regulation, etc.

Incredibly, he then does something NOT indicated by the polls and by constituent outrage: voting for the “bail-out” which as predicted has not calmed things down in the financial markets!

Ignore the polls at your peril indeed!

But beware of the illogicalities indicated by polls: as mentioned many times, polls show the DEM Congress with a 9% approval rating. They say 60% of Americans think random people picked from a phone book could do at least as well as, if not better than, the DEM Congress.

So how does one proceed?
