The Shifting Polls of the Presidential Race

Adjust your map accordingly, readers (as if it really fucking matters).

I'm posting this for you, readers. I don't really give a shit about these guys anymore: I'm voting Nader -- for the THIRD TIME!


"Obama gaining crucial ground; Polling shifts in some key states" by Brian C. Mooney, Globe Staff | October 4, 2008

With 31 days until the election, Democrat Barack Obama's road to the White House is widening, and Republican John McCain's electoral path is narrowing.

The McCain campaign's decision this week to abandon Democratic-leaning Michigan is the most obvious and dramatic sign, a major tactical retreat that limits the ways he can reach the magic number of 270 electoral votes on Nov. 4.

But McCain is in as bad or worse shape in other battleground states. Barring a dramatic change, he is on course to lose Iowa and New Mexico, both states barely won by President Bush four years ago in his narrow victory over Democrat John F. Kerry.

Notice how the MSM always acts as if the 2004 election was legitimate? If they won't tell the truth about that, and will COVER IT UP in fact, then WHAT ELSE are they LYING ABOUT and COVERING UP (other than 9/11, Iraq, global warming, etc, etc)?

EVERYTHING?

And he and the Republican National Committee this week began pouring money into Indiana and North Carolina, reliably Republican states where the Obama campaign has made strong advances and polls indicate the candidates are roughly tied.

But I thought we were all a bunch of racists?

The Republican is slipping further behind not only in Michigan, but also in four other states that went Democratic four years ago, but which McCain hoped to pull into the GOP column this year. By contrast, McCain does not lead Obama in any state that Kerry captured in 2004.

Translation: Expect a "terror attack" or the death of the dead guy!

Dante Scala, professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire: "The fact that states like Indiana and Missouri are still on the table spells trouble for McCain." --more--"
