They will want to be close to the president, rub elbows with the power of the presidency, in with the in crowd. Obama’s political history has shown that he can be influenced, unlike McCain. McCain wouldn’t be welcoming them into the glitz of the White House parties, he’s frugal with the people’s money, Obama is a big spender and will do the opposite.

I wonder what percentage of the remaining 25% that will vote Obama are Hollywood or Rockefeller center types, media news, TV/movie actors, recording artists, and other politically clueless entertainers?

Hi brandon,

Obama’s economic instincts appear to be that he would favor policies which would prevent the lower and middle class from ever rising to the level of “wealthy”.

You might be interested to know this:

Democrat fat cats have become the Party of the Ultra-wealthy.

As you say….”lol”

Erika/voter… INRE your

see, and last Pres election had Kerry up in double digits, and he lost. It’s really the state by state we should be looking at, right? Since its the electoral votes that count.

In one way way, yes… the electoral college is the deciding factor since our Presidential elections are really 50 different state elections combined.

That, however, doesn’t mean that polls… whether prior to voting, or the “exit polls”… can’t be totally off kilter.

Now Mike’sA? He’s the resident FA poll expert here. I don’t dabble in his arena as he’s got the first hand, behind the scenes campaign experience. I know when I’m outclassed in knowledge…. :0)

After a certain time, Mike places faith in polls. But I’m not sure what his criteria is.

Me? The only poll that matters is election day. And I’m content not hang on every media report of a poll prior, but to wait until Nov 5th for the actual results. Hang, they might as well tell me to bet on red #5 at the roulette table….

@voter:

In reference to the Drudge link that I gave you, Matt often “teases” a story early. He’ll post a snippet of info concerning a big story that is coming.

The numbers that I cited were for one day of polling (Friday). Rolling averages will be a bit different. The full details will be released tomorrow at some point.

The last election did indeed have Kerry up by double digits. He was also up in multiple “swing” states thus leading the Media machine to call it for him early.

Carter and Dukakis were up as well. You cannot rely on polling data as an assurance of victory especially when the polls are all over the board and the internals are so out of whack. The pollsters this year are trying to calculate in assumptions that have never proven to be real historically.

The state polling is where the attention needs to be focused because, as you said, the Electoral College is what ultimately drives the victory.

Voter: When I was in the White House we were at peace because we were strong. That’s something you libweanies will never understand. Months after I left the Berlin Wall fell down. No thanks to Democrats.
