Well it does look like he gained 6 points between truebrit's post and glowdog's.


Yep......and that is my point. Just how much stock are we going to put into polling data?

You wanna bet on this one? Alan Keyes has never won a race. His margin of loss in his other races is 27 points. He is going to get his head kicked in by at LEAST 40 points this time....Stead-fast republicans that I know want NOTHING to do with this religiously-insane, carpet-bagging fool....but the POLLS are wrong....


Okay.....

If that is your "point", then your point is weak. I posted a range - 40-50% - that Obama has been up. That has been the case in the polls overall since Keyes threw his hat in.

Truebrit was laughing about the upper part of that range. Then, when I posted a reply to B-Jakkyl, I used the specific 44% that separate Keyes and Obama in the recent Rassmussen poll I linked to.

Yes, polls can fluctuate in accuracy due to a number of factors. But it's pretty laughable to try and spin away a 44% polling difference as released by a respected polling outfit.

But, hey, B-Jakkyl - by all means, go ahead and hold out hope for Keyes if it helps you sleep at night.

Default Obama will win

there is no doubt about that. But the Republicans will gain seats and have about 53 or 54 when said and done.

I, myself, am already desperate. I'm so deperate to vote for the best man for the job, that I will prolly choose Obama. He is way too lib for me, but he is most assuredly the best for Illinois. He'll bring in the pork. Hey, I voted for that lib Simon a few times (he even signed a petition to get rid of the Chief - mascot at UofI ).

Someone mentioned that he's campaigning for other Dems., yep, but he is still running around the small towns of IL pressing the flesh. He doesn't need to, but there he is. Total class. Man, I am still waiting for the dead hooker!

Keyes is not as rabid as he appears. He has purposely set off on a campaign of shock, as he knew he was fighting a losing battle.
