The turnout battle
in

Looking at the turnout numbers, Republicans should be worried about November. Democrats are turning out in massive numbers this primary season. If this trend continues into the general election, it wouldn't matter if John McCain could walk on water, he would still get buried.

But Republicans are trying to use current polls to downplay the problem:

But Republicans also see an upside: Despite the clear Democratic intensity advantage, Sen. John McCain still runs statistically even or better in most of the national polls looking ahead to the general election. The latest Ohio Poll also shows McCain very competitive in the state.

But there is one big problem. These polls are based on past turnout patterns. They don't take into account this Democratic surge of turnout. In other words, those polls are way off.

Exactly. To make a point

Exactly. To make a point that the polls show a statistical dead heat (not to mention this early in the game) without taking into account the fact that the numbers going to the polls are so lopsided to the Democrats, is ludicrous.
Thanks!

Spread the word

Thank you! Getting informed is the most important. So many people just focus on such horrible name calling. Since our Nation is so vulnerable at this time, yes indeed we need to get informed. Obama's association with all these shady people is scarry and all I ask of everyone..to really look at this rather than get involved in the sweet nothings he wispers in our so willing ears.Thank you!

dead heat?

Ralph Nader will cancel out their election by only pulling his 5% of the vote as before.

Get informed for the future of your Nation

To all people of our Nation! Open up your eyes.
My plea to you is to get informed. Please! Please
Obama says he does not take money from lobbyists, but he does take
money from crocks. He has taken money from his good
Friend of 18 years Rezco, who has been indicted for
Shady actions. He has taken money from Farrakhan the
hater of Whites, Jews and Latinos!
Please do your research!!!!, this is not to scare anyone, this is
a plea and to inform you or ask you that you get informed before
you put Obama in the White House..Be informed after all its
our nation!
Obama will bring us despair! Would you go into surgery with
a 3year medical student? Would you get on an airplane only
with a student pilot? Why not?? Think, get informed and
then vote Responsibly, vote for you, for your family, vote
for a safe nation. Vote for global respect, healthy economy.
Vote for YOU
Look up what a Recession is and get aware. Believe me
Obama will only bring us despair!

obama

America is not ready to vote in a bleeding heart liberal democrat just for color, now if Hillary were only gay and black too she would sweep!

sweep

Only sweep democratic elect. We are looking into possibly 2424 for a woman presidential candidate to even come close to winning her party.

independents
