... Down to the wire ... Obama Leads McCain by 9 Percentage
Points Nationally:

After months of campaigning, the presidential contest comes
down to mere hours. Heading into Election Day, Senator Barack
Obama is ahead of his Republican rival, Senator John McCain,
by 9 percentage points nationally -- 53% to 44% -- among likely
voters including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a
candidate. In a Marist Poll conducted just last week, Obama held
a 7 percentage point lead. Among registered voters nationwide,
Obama is currently ahead of McCain, 51% to 42%, respectively.

1. Does the Betty Ford clinic have a 12 step program for poll addicts?

Or can we just start polling for 2012 now?

2. And yet MSNBC spent several segments

4. Indeed, it seems fairly clear. But we need to get everyone to vote!

This is the best polling for a Democrat since 1996 for sure. It's the best in a two-person race since 1964.

7. Agreed - We Still Need Everyone to Vote

But this election isn't close and hasn't been for a couple of weeks now.

That isn't going to stop me from showing up and canvassing tomorrow morning to make sure our guys go to the polls and vote.
