Why are not more McCain/Palin supporters excited about the polls showing a very close race? It seem all the pundits, even conservative ones, have thrown in the towel. I have a hunch McCain/Palin may still pull off an admittedly unlikely victory.

Think positive!

Jay, funny, I just left "The Page" by Mark Halperin where it states new voters favor Obama 2:1

Gee, now most of the MSM/professional pollster run polls are tightening up. They were so far out of whack for the whole campaign that they had to tighten to retain any future credibility. As for why the pundits are throwing in the towel, they lose either way. But, if McCain gets elected, Palin [a maverick conservative] will be in line for 2012 and the conservative wing of the Party will be in control. And they are out, possibly for decades.
As to the election, wait until Nov. 5. If voter fraud can be kept to a minimum level, then McCain/Palin win.

Heard a pollster say on the radio last week that until the final week, pollsters are looking for the story and the publicity; in the final week, they hunker down and try to be the closest to the actual result.
New voters always favor dem Dems by 2:1...
The unknowns are the Bradley Effect and the Wino Effect. What's the Wino Effect? The response you have after talking to a wino, walking 10 feet away, and suddenly asking, "What in the world did he SAY?"
After allowing Obama to send thrills up their legs for months, voters now have to enter the voting booth and ask, "What does he actually stand for?"
It'll be interesting...
