All these polls are making my head spin

Obama is up now Rmoney is up after the debate, now Obama is up. I just don't know who to believe anymore. I hate polls now so much. I am so confused. But I get reminding myself that polls had McCain/Palin up around this time. All I can do is vote for the President and urge all of you to vote for him and send rmoney down in flames on election day.

Ignore them. Vote your beliefs, and take your friends with you to the polls.

at least as far as the news shows go and am spending a lot of time reading.

I probably shouldn't even go online if I want to remain sane for the next few weeks.

And will do anything to get it. Now that there are so many polls, they can confuse things until that point.
