Pretty much confirms every other poll this month that shows Obama up double digits. PA is over in my opinion. This idea that McCain is pulling out of CO to go all in in PA is just dumb.

Flash Tizzle Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) Has anyone come across these articles suggesting law enforcement agencies across America are embracing for civil unrest? Ie, if Obama loses and people riot? This much is guaranteed -- if Obama loses, the one place in the world I wouldn't want to be is a McCain supporter in Grant Park. It should be a fun time watching rioting occur across America, doesn't anyone else think so? This alone should be reason enough to vote for McCain. When's the last time we've seen a good old fashioned city wide riot? It has been too long, I'll tell you that much.

Rex Kickass Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 So apparently Drudge is being desperate. 100 point type on his website, with no sourcing SHOCK: MCCAIN VOLUNTEER ATTACKED AND MUTILATED IN PITTSBURGH Horror crept through my skull. Turns out she was mugged at an ATM and the mugger mentioned her McCain bumper sticker. PITTSBURGH -- A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said. Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m. Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said. Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras. The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes. This mugging is horrible, awful, reprehensible. But I doubt it has much to do with anything about an election.

HuskyCaucasian Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Something I just thought of: Bob Barr is from Georgia. High African American turnout will make Georgia a near tie between Obama and McCain. Barr is bound to get a nice percentage of votes. Even if he only gets 5%, that MIGHT be enough votes away from McCain to move Obama ahead. The CNN/Time poll has 98% voting for McCain or Obama. That poll has McCain at 53%. If 5% shifted to Barr, It's McCain 48%, Obama 47%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW! yea, that's a little ridiculous. That would even factor out those who voted for the first time in 2004. FYI: Hugh Hewitt is on CNN right now using the poll as proof the race is very close.
