But dragonrider, your post cracks me up. You see the polls in a dead heat and then you make the gist of, "well uh, this will fade fast, Obama will pick it up, there must be some sort of error, this will change, you'll see....". Can't you just accept the truth? Haha sorry hun, I had to pull your chain.

Typical Liberal haha.
Ha ha! I'm just saying what I think will happen, but who knows? It may just be wishfull thinking on my part!

You are absolutely right though, about the polls not meaning shit. Thay are accurate up to a degree, but almost always off by way more than thier so-called "margin of error." I'm thinking back to the Democratic primary especially, when after every major event or primary election, the polls and pundits got it wrong. Then they would immediately launch into this insane analysis about "what it means" and a new round of polls showing why the NEW trend was right, and then it would go the other way again. I got the impression they were wrong more often than they were right.

The other thing to remember is how important it is how the individual states are leaning. The popular vote can be a virtual tie and still have the electoral college go in a landslide if one candidate gets a huge margin in one state, and the other gets small margins in lots of states.
