General Electric doing it's part with "Mason Dixon" polls - PA. is McCain's by 1 point
According to the margin of error of +/-4 points. Of all the polls I've heard in the past couple months, I have forgotten about the GE-Mason Dixon polls, are they only done on the weekend before the election, because I haven't heard them discussed until this slew of statistical dead heats that they claim Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, and Nevada are today. To see poll after poll for weeks say Obama is up by 10-12 in Pennsylvania, only to see them say that within the Margin of Error that McCain could be up 1 point in PA makes me think what they have been saying ALL ALONG and that is they have to win PA. and they spent all this time there and somehow could erase a 12 point lead in a week is an obvious preparation for election theft - I have been thinking from the day they said they were going to focus on PA. that they were going to try and steal this.

As someone else said today, an Obama victory = Rove and others in prison and they will do everything they can, everything, to stop an Obama victory despite overwhelming polls.

There's no reason for the polls to go south so strongly when nothing has happened to pull so many millions of voters away from Obama's side - and it looks like General Electric/Mason Dixon polls are an example of what they're up to.

5. you bring up the biggest point of all
we need our Democrats in Congress to push through a national voting system that is verifiable based upon your receipt of your vote - obviously, there's so many ways to steal elections. This is all very very aggravating. Obama is not going to drop from a 12 point lead to - as the GE/Mason-Dixon poll suggests - a race that McCain could be winning by one point according to the margin of error.

We really need to show up in huge numbers, and I'm hopeful we will and narrowly beat out their theft attempts that they've done in the past two presidential elections. They know that's where the power is - because as B*sh has shown, he will just write up a signing statement if he doesn't like something, or just break the law without anyone knowing!

3. your lack of comprehension over the theft of '00, '04, & GE's part in this are not my concern.

General Electric, the major war profiteer, has a lot at stake in this election, and a lot of corruption will be outed if Obama gets in as Rove and others will be in prison if Obama gets in. For a month I've been saying that they were going to try and imply that Obama's double digit lead somehow disappeared for no reason other than McCain and Palin's stump speeches, and out of the blue here comes these GE/Mason-Dixon polls all saying McCain statistically could be ahead in all the battleground states - it's inconceivable with the leads that Obama had just days ago, as is your understanding that they've done this in 2000 & 2004. Sit back and do nothing if they happen to pull it off again, and claim you don't understand.

7. thank you pnwmom, what do you think of MSNBC talking all day long as a mouth piece of McCain's camp
I've been watching all day, the coverage is even further directed at promoting McCain more than normal. Do you watch TV, if so, what do you watch? I have noticed in the day time on MSNBC it's like a McCain commercial.

11. I've been staying away from TV as much as I can -- it's too stressful.
At least on the internet I can pick and choose what I expose myself to.

(I'm not a sports fan, but lately I'm grateful when I hear the TV in the family room and it's some football game that my husband's turned on. Better that than the alternative!)

6. Comparing Apples to Oranges...
In most of these M-D polls the numbers represent an improvement for Obama over their previous surveys...

8. you got THAT right... when I heard Todd this AM, it made me want to barf
John McCain, brought to you by Energy Transnationals, Megapharms and War Profiteers... energizing the Republican base, ONE LIE AT A TIME.

I had steam coming out of my ears

but...

I refuse to be unhappy... they've stolen enough golden moments in this campaign

NOW... or at least very soon... will be a time to rejoice

10. I hope we can rejoice in 2 days, also. Did you hear Rudy w/Norah earlier today?
He told her that Republicans, "always do 2 to 6 points better than the polls show".... talk about speaking the truth without understanding what you said - polling has always been amazingly accurate but Rudy is right, in reference to Sen. Mel Martinez being down 4 points on election day and beating popular Dem. challenger Betty Castor somehow, and of course in the pres. elections that showed Bush losing in 04 makes me so angry. I hope we get the huge majority we need and the Dems finally push through voter/election reform that guarantees a transparent way to verify the vote.

GObama!

9. an obama victory does not = rove in prison
If there was even the slightest possibility of that, chimpy would issue a pardon before he leaves office.

12. hey onenote!
then maybe Obama should just write up a "I'm president so therefore this is law" and override B*sh's pardon! ha. B*sh has ignored laws for 8 years, and we need to clean this country up badly.

take care!
