2. NONE!
MSNBC just moved on to other talking points. Didn't even acknowledge his comment.

Fugg Nora and GEM$NBC. They've been deliberately getting it wrong all election season.

5. My wife and I noticed this this morning.
Alex Dewitt was constantly pushing the Mason Dixon poll which had them neck and neck by maybe 2 to 3 points difference. A Politico rep called them out on it. Norah O'Donnell's been pushing the same poll all day and they seem to be doubling their McCain coverage. They are definitely not giving Obama as much time. The real poll of polls has Obama leading by at least 8 points nationwide.

6. Because it's an NBC-Mason Dixon poll
and they obviously kept polling until they found 9% who were "undecided"..so they could make their point..

RCP is the ONLY place to look to for poll results, but I would go even a step further and do like they used to do in the old olympic scoring..throw out the high & low & then average it :)
