4. Survey of latest polls by site "USA Election Polls"

seems to say something different. This came from their site: <http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/general-election/e... >

Electoral College Map with Numbers
(Barack Obama vs. John McCain)
Last Updated: 8/20/08

Method************Obama****McCain
Latest Poll Per State***280******258
Poll of Polls**********270******249
Survey USA*********166******256
Rasmussen Reports****254******233
Quinnipiac***********158*******24
Research 2000********18*******95
Zogby**************335******131

These people are going with "Obama 280 vs. McCain 258" for the electoral college. The Zogby electoral college nos. seem odd given what they're saying about the popular vote. (?)

6. I love this enthusiasm gap.

Elections are about enthusiasm and anxiety. Barack's doing fabulous on the former. Now, the repugs are trying to drum up the latter, against him. IT WON'T WORK!

"As has been the case all summer, Obama�s supporters are much more enthusiastic about their candidate than those who back McCain are about theirs. In this poll, twice as many Obama backers as McCain supporters say they are enthusiastic about their choice. About one in four McCain supporters say they are voting for him only because he is the Republican nominee or that their vote will be a vote against Obama."

7. The problem is Bob Barr isn't getting enough attention.

Some of the right wingers are coming back into the fold. Bob Barr needs more attention!!
