6. That's one impressive list. Hard to argue with those numbers.

Believe or not, Rove actually mentioned this on Faux this morning.

[usregimechange]

2. I think you have to look at the spread

[DCBob]

3. The spread does not matter if Obama is well over 50%.

Obama wins. Right?

[Zynx]

4. That's pretty solid too. However, at a certain point threshold matters.

[Dawgs]

5. The spread looks good too.

No worries.

[Orsino]

7. He is so amazing, he can do this even as the polls are "tightening."
