timr – they also go to Obama outliers for a different take. The aggregate of polls at 538, RCP and Pollster show that the race isn't tightening.

So why do the networks, AP and Reuters all go with Zogby who shows the race really tightening up? His is the only poll that says this. Also this seems to be the only poll-see MTP on sun last-that McCain thinks is accurate. According to what I read on 538, Zogbys methodology is way outdated and also does not account for all those who do not have/use land lines(no robodialing allowed on cell phone numbers)

Not going to be a tightening. In fact as most of us have believed for about 2 years now………this is going to be a bloodbath for the corrupt GOP. A party that is in need of a total and complete overhaul. A party that has failed itself and its adherents. A party of fiscal and personal responsibility that has helped oversee a financial meltdown and allowed the price of oil to sky rocket to 150 dollars per bbl without lifting a finger to stop it.

Barak Obama is not qualified to be president but he will in a landslide. America will be giving him a mandate. Clean up this shit. This cesspool that is congress. However the democrats will lose site of what the voters are asking them to do. He will instead do all kinds of stupid shit He is after all a politician. Meanwhile a cloture proof, veto proof congress will do what the GOP did…………corrupt themselves in the filth and squalor that is politics…..that is legal thievery……that is a mandate to steal.

We the people will speak……….they the liars…….will lie and once again we will be right back to where we were…..only the names have changed.

Look at the trends and at the numbers. It's been flat recently and likely won't change in the next week as far as the prospects for Obama and CusterXXXXXXMcCain.

(Consider Vote Share to be likely outcome; consider Winner-Take-All the probability either will win.)
