Must be pretty easy to get an 8 point lead when you over sample democrats by 9 points.

So many polls can’t be wrong…

Umm.. if there was a legitimate McCain surge, wouldn’t we be seeing a 1-3 point race by now? very depressing.

Dude…depends on what poll Mr. David A B.

The Party ID is not believable. I expect a 3-4 point spread; 9 seems ridiculous.

Dear Tony,
The Republican National Committee needs your immediate help to fully support its 72 Hour Get-Out-The-Vote Task Force.
The 72 Hour Get-Out-The-Vote Task Force is the RNC’s program that targets the final three days of the campaign to ensure Republican voters get to the polls on Election Day.
Tony, the RNC’s 72 Hour Get-Out-The-Vote Task Force proved its effectiveness in helping Republicans win the 2004 presidential election. Having Republican grassroots activists on the ground in key districts walking door-to-door and making phone calls to undecided voters turned the tide in our Party’s favor.
Now, in what is certain to be one of the closest and most critical elections in American history, we must be able to reach voters with our message of keeping taxes low, providing businesses with incentives to create new jobs, increasing energy independence and winning the war against radical Islamic extremism.
When we get our message out — and our voters to the polls — Republicans win elections.
We can elect John McCain and Republicans at all levels and win a historic victory in just five days with your support. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for our Party.
Sincerely,
SARAH PALIN
