Da Polls, Boss! Da Polls!

No wonder the Obama campaign is freaking out about Joe the plumber, trying to rig the vote in Ohio, and calling in its media allies to dispirit the Republican base...the polls, they just don't look as good as some people make it out to seem:

AP/YAHOO Poll of 873 Democrats; 650 Republicans shows OBAMA 44%, MCCAIN 42%...

GALLUP POLL LIKELY VOTERS STAY 49 OBAMA, 47 MCCAIN FOR SECOND DAY...

Look at the numbers in the AP poll...it assumes a 57%-43% turnout advantage for the Democrats (2006 had a 39%-36% turnout advantage for the Donkeys) and still Obama can't close the deal; his tiny 2% margin is well within the margin of error. Remember, based on the primaries, Barack always won significantly less votes than his polling numbers indicated.

Enjoy the lobster and cavier, B&M. Could be back to Kraft Mac & Cheese by November 5th...
