*That doesn't make sense but I'll take the headline numbers...They feed hogs and kill pigs...I think I have the cliche right or do I?

1. I think you have the cliche backwards.

The spread is still 5 between 51 and 46; those 5% may be 3rd party voters (Barr, McKinney, Nader) or may not have been willing to announce their votes.

2. Ugh. More to feed the meme that McCain is closing the gap. I hate weekend polling. nt

6. Early voting #'s a bit lower then some other polls but I will take it.

5 to 7 points is Obama's lead.
