So where it counts the media is far more right-wing leading.

I don't relate to this Democratic party. The snide ageism remarks by Obama set off the wolf packs of youths posting remarks about older people that just show a complete lack of empathy. Look at the Letterman show. All ageist jokes. The sexism was enough to make any smart young woman in America reconsider the thought of marriage. Why? It's just been a transformational year, all right, but not in the way the idiotic pundits think. Even if McCain can't pull this out, I can guarantee you that he and Palin have successfully transformed the Republican party into the party of the regular Joes. And I firmly believe that in that oh so boring off-cycle election year, the Democrats will be quite shocked to learn their more solid-voting base has left. I couldn’t agree more.

You folks here at NQ have restored my faith in Americans. I only wish my fellow conservatives had some of your courage. We probably do not agree much on policy but we agree that oblahblahblahbama is NOT the man for this job. Lets get McCain/Palin elected then we can battle it out on policy later. Thanks, Mr. Bitter You will see the fairness doctrine come back if oblahblahblahbama wins this election. those radio shows and blogs like this one will be the first to go.

However, FOX of all polls has Obama at a 10 point lead despite the fact that it is um...FOX. Do the conservatives want the country to believe that McCain can't win the race so that they can take us by surprise on Election Day? I don't understand FOX's poll at all. I expect MSNBC and Zogby to be off as they usually are in the tank for Obama.

Do you think McCain still has a chance or that his trend line is only getting worse and he will not be able to win? Just wondering because I trust your judgment more than any of the morons on cable news. Larry, what are your predictions for this election?

More people than ever before (I think it's over 80%) refuse to respond to pollsters calls. It would make sense to me that centrist dems who are voting (R) this year out of anger at the DNC may likely be in that 80%. It also makes sense ecstatic Obama supporters high on hopey-changey would most likely chomp at the bit to tell pollsters he's their choice. This skews the polls entirely. Add to that, pollsters are weighting responses for Obama more heavily because of the (Acorn) registered new voters. You look at real politics and different polls have him anywhere from 4-points ahead to anywhere from 9-11-14 points ahead. RCP averages them to a 7-point lead. But I think such wildly different polls taken on the same 2-day period (4-point lead verses 14-point lead, for example), makes me suspicious of any accuracy. Also -- my hubby noted something today. Monday -- polls had the race tighter much tighter and one poll had McCain ahead by a point. The stock market rebounded. Today, the MSM announces Obama is 10 points ahead -- the stock market drops. Has anyone else noticed that? I think the polls are terribly off.

In point of fact, the chart at http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0781453.html shows that the turnout in 2006 was a larger percentage of the voting-age population than in 2002--when comparing the presidential-year elections, the increase in percentage was greater from 2002 to 2006, compared to 2000 to 2004. In 2002 the turnout was only 37% and in 2006, it was 43.6%l in 2000, the turnout was 51.3% while in 2004, the turnout was 55.3% (IOW, there was an increase of 6.6 percentage points between 2002 and 2006 whereas there was an increase of only 4 percentage points between 2000 and 2004). I also believe a part of 2004's high voter turnout had to do with the large number of state amendments banning same-sex marriage (14 in 2004, compared to only 6 in 2006) which brought out more of the religious right base.
